⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Shared bread service: Meze are often served with pita bread, which creates a cross-contact risk for gluten-sensitive diners.
  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility: The establishment does not advertise a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact between gluten-containing and gluten-free orders is a plausible concern.
  • Menu labeling isn’t fully universal: While many items are labeled gluten-free, not every dish is guaranteed GF, and some items may be prepared using shared components.
  • Past incidents exist: At least one diner reported gluten exposure after discussing restrictions with staff; this underscores that safe handling is not guaranteed in every visit.
  • Staff experience varies: Several positive experiences highlight allergy awareness, while isolated cases suggest variability in how strictly precautions are applied.
