Our food is prepared in a home kitchen that handles common allergens including wheat, sesame, nuts, dairy, and eggs. If you have food allergies or dietary requirements, please contact us before ordering via the in-app Chat.
We make every effort to ensure food quality and safe handling, but we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.

If you are unhappy with your order (wrong items, quality issue, missing items), please contact us within 24 hours of delivery via the in-app Chat or at hello@akl-baladi.de. We will review each complaint and offer a fair resolution, which may include a replacement delivery or partial refund credit.
