⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The main gluten-containing items to avoid are pita and falafel; many other components appear to be gluten-free, according to the available evidence.
• Cross-contamination can occur if pita or other gluten-containing ingredients are mixed into bowls, or if bins and toppings aren’t handled with fresh utensils and gloves. Several diners report staff readily changing gloves and using new utensils when gluten concerns are raised, which reduces risk.
• Occasional notes from a minority of reviews highlight lapses or confusion during busy times, so it’s important to communicate clearly and request handling that aligns with gluten-free needs (glove changes, fresh bins/utensils, separate storage where possible).
