⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a concern, particularly around pita/pita chips and falafel.
• Several reports emphasize proactive precautions (glove changes, separate handling of ingredients, allergen labeling) as routine practice, which mitigates risk when followed.
• Some accounts note higher cross-contamination risk in busy lines or inconsistent handling, underscoring the importance of requesting fresh gloves, fresh utensils, and clearly stating gluten-free needs at the start of the order.
