About this analysis
Independent AI analysis of the menu The Independent publishes.
MenuIQ is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by The Independent. Its name is used only to identify it.
Allergen and dietary information is AI-generated and may be incomplete — always confirm with the restaurant.
MenuIQ looks for seven allergens: dairy, eggs, gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and soy. It doesn’t flag fish, sesame or other allergens.
We can’t see the kitchen: shared fryers, prep surfaces, cross-contact and recipe changes aren’t reflected. Menus and recipes can vary by location.
For awareness only — not medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider.
