Hamburger menu accessibility

Hi,

I am testing a webpage that has hamburger menu. After activating it with
enter button, it opens up with more options.
Out of those options some of them has sub option that is in collapsible
state and can be accessses by activating the + sign next to them.
When I was trying to test it with keyboard, I was able to access menu using
tab key but not the arrow keys on keyboard. Is this behaviour fine or this
is an accessibility issue.
Also when tabbing reaches the last option in the menu, focus does not go
back to the first option on further tabbing, instead it stays there. In
order to go back to the first option I have to use shift tab to go
backwards.

Is this behaviour ok or it needs to be fixed.
Please advise.

Thanks,
Mamta
