⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The presence of pita and falafel means there are non-GF items on the menu; avoiding these is essential to staying GF-safe.
• Cross-contact risk can be minimized by asking staff to change gloves, wash hands, and use fresh utensils, and by requesting ingredients be drawn from separate bins when possible.
• While many diners report excellent precautions (glove changes, separate serving utensils, allergen labeling), a few past observations note variability in staff training or during busy periods.
• An online allergen/menu system is commonly used to mark GF items, which helps in choosing safer options, but it does require proactive follow-up with staff to ensure proper handling.
