⚠️ 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.
