⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are occasional reports of gluten exposure or cross-contact, including incidents where a diner felt sick after a meal. While these appear rare relative to the volume of positive experiences, they do indicate that risk is not absolutely eliminated.
- The restaurant employs several safety measures (dedicated GF fryers, red-plate system for allergy meals, manager involvement in delivering GF plates, and staff training), but success appears to depend on clear communication and adherence at the table and in the kitchen.
- If you have very high gluten sensitivity, consider confirming: (a) whether your chosen item uses a dedicated GF fryer and separate prep space, (b) that the server repeats your GF request, and (c) that your dish is presented on the red plate and confirmed by staff upon delivery.
