⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists if gluten-containing items are prepared in shared equipment.
- Some items may be prepared on shared surfaces or fryers; one report mentions falafel fried in its own fryer, but this is not guaranteed across all visits or locations.
- One item (gyro meat) is explicitly not gluten-free, so careful menu choice is required.
- The presence of pita on the broader menu means that omission is essential for GF safety; diners must be proactive about removing pita and verifying current practices.
