⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a potential concern in theory. However, many patrons report strong safety practices, including allergy flags on plates and in some cases a dedicated fryer.
- A few older experiences mention uncertainty about cross-contact in certain situations; one review notes that a specific dish was not GF. As ever, ongoing communication with staff and asking about preparation can help mitigate risk.
- Overall, while not guaranteed, the trend across recent experiences is highly favorable for celiac safety when standard precautions are followed.
