Just ate here this past weekend and no signs of sickness! While they didn’t have any allergy protocol, I was assured the wings and fries would be fine for me. It was so delicious. I would just ask the person behind the counter to ask the cooks to be careful not to put your dish anywhere near the bread/etc

Easy to find GF and dairy free options here. Chicken and rice were great. Pineapple are canned and coleslaw lacks flavor.

Amazing chicken, a good portion of the meal is gluten free and allergen info is available. The fries are gf IF you have them put nothing on them. I have them go straight from fryer basket to container and haven’t had any problems doing that!

I had the chicken bowl without the hummus and a side of fries. I was told it was all gluten free but they were unsure if the hummus had cross contamination, so I opted for no hummus just to be safe. The fries are the only thing that go in the frier, so no cross contamination there. The food was not bad for a quick, easy meal across from my hotel. I did not get sick.

I dined in and had a positive experience the people were very nice and I watched the person who took my order tell the kitchen to be careful with cross contamination. I did not get sick and felt comfortable eating there! I would always say when eating somewhere that has gluten in the kitchen at all be very clear about the severity and ask them to change gloves etc!

Manager was pretty rude and didn’t want us to eat there even though it was 45min til they closed. Dirty environment too. I did not get sick from gluten but I wouldn’t recommend.

We always stop at Nando’s when we travel south. They have a well marked allergen booklet. We get the chicken livers, spicy olives, brussels sprouts without the sauce, shish kebabs, and half chicken. French fries are in a dedicated fryer. Enjoy!

While the restaurant isn’t dedicated gluten free, the staff are excellent about allergies! As soon as you tell the staff you have celiac/wheat allergy, they are running to the kitchen to ensure your order is prepared with new gloves, in a freshly cleaned area, and without any gluten ingredients. The servers automatically bring the allergen book and work directly with you to ensure you do not order anything that has hidden gluten. My husband and I both have celiac and have never had issues here :)
