⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means inherent cross-contact risk exists without strict, continuous enforcement.
- However, there are strong indications of mitigation measures in practice: dedicated fryers, separate cooking spaces, color-coded plating, and staff who actively discuss and implement gluten-free preparations.
- Occasional older concerns or service gaps are noted in the broader feedback, but recent experiences repeatedly emphasize knowledge and safety practices.
- As with dining out for celiac disease, ongoing vigilance remains important: clearly inform the staff of your needs, confirm gluten-free handling for your items, and watch for signs of cross-contact in kitchen processes.
