✅ Reported safe options

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible in theory.
- Some reviews note that fried items may be cooked in shared oil, which can introduce gluten, and one account specifically mentions a lack of a dedicated fryer.
- There are reports of single grills per group or changes to grills between guests to minimize cross-contact, but experiences vary. A minority of reviews describe situations where miscommunication or menu gaps led to concerns about gluten exposure.
- A couple of reviewers mention specific items (e.g., certain peppers or non-GF components) that caused issues, underscoring the importance of asking questions and choosing clearly GF options.
