⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not operate a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, which means cross-contact is possible despite precautions.
- Some menu items or preparation methods (e.g., shared fryers, certain sauces, or breaded items) may introduce gluten if not managed carefully.
- A few diners report gluten exposure or "glutened" outcomes, underscoring the importance of explicitly communicating allergies, asking for fresh gloves and clean surfaces, and confirming every sauce or accompaniment before serving.
- Given these factors, the restaurant remains a high-context option for celiacs: safe with meticulous ordering and staff communication, but not risk-free.
