⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact risk exists in general operations.
- A documented case noted falafel fried in a contaminated fryer, which highlights cross-contamination risk with fried items.
- Some diners reported that staff are knowledgeable and provide cross-contamination guidance, and others noted that not all items are guaranteed gluten-free. For many guests, clear communication and substitutions appear to mitigate risk, but vigilance remains important.
