⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The menu is not dedicated gluten-free; pita bread and falafel are gluten-containing and can be a source of cross-contact if not carefully managed.
• Cross-contamination risk is mitigated when staff change gloves, wash hands, and use clean utensils, which is a recurring positive theme in recent reviews.
• Some reports describe issues that can arise during peak times or when staff are less trained or when bowls pass between multiple workers, underscoring the importance of clear communication at the start of the order about gluten-free needs.
• An allergen/menu overview exists and is used by many diners to navigate safe options, but a few experiences note inconsistent handling or confusion at times.
