The entire Coco Asia menu is halal-certified -- no alcohol, no non-halal proteins. Within that, there is a solid selection of plant-based dishes. Vegan items are marked (Vg) on the menu; vegetarian items carry (V). The kitchen handles these common allergens: gluten (G), dairy (D), egg (E), sesame (S), soy (B), shellfish (F), nuts (N), mustard (M) and celery (C).
Allergens are present in the kitchen so dishes cannot be guaranteed 100% allergen-free. Always speak to a member of staff about your requirements before ordering.
