Soup:

Mexican Tomato, Corn, Pinto Bean and Avocado! $8

These are so delicious!!!! Four little fritters made with mashed up black beans, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, ancho, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese! Held together with bread crumbs, they are fried up until crunchy and served with a homemade chipotle-lime mayo to dip! Good for 2 to share.

(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, eggs and gluten).

Leftovers Deal:

Dev’s Delicious Tzatziki! $1.50/$4/$7

We strained the Balkan-style yogurt to make it thicker! It is mixed with crumbled feta cheese, grated cucumbers, fresh dill, olive oil, lemon juice and a touch of honey! Perfect for wraps, breads, grilled vegetables, meat, kebabs, etc.! It will be good for another 5-6 days. There are 3 sizes on offer depending on how much you need!

Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

Main:

Return of the FISH TACOS!!! $26

You have been patiently waiting for these wonderfully delicious tacos, and now we will have them! A generous portion of haddock seasoned with cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, cayenne, etc., grilled up like “blackened fish,” chopped up and served in two soft-shelled flour tortillas with a crisp and tasty cabbage-carrot-red onion slaw (made with a lime-cumin mayo dressing.) Served with a side of green rice (rice cooked with cilantro, parsley, green onions, jalapenos, etc.). Always a huge hit!

(Dairy free. Gluten free with one large GF tortilla [+$1] instead of 2 smaller ones).

Desserts:

1 of 3: Our Annual Valentine’s Special Dessert: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake! $10

It just doesn’t feel right if we don’t do it… we make this every Valentine's Day despite the year’s theme, so why stop now?!  It's chocolate and peanut butter in a cheesecake. :) :) :)  Enjoy!  Big enough for 2 since it’s so rich… maybe?  It is REALLY good.

(Contains gluten, dairy and peanuts).

2 of 3: Greek Custard Kataifi! $9

JENN HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THIS HEAVENLY DESSERT! Kataifi is a finely shredded phyllo pastry that has a lovely crunch! It is laid in a sheet pan and baked with butter. It is then soaked in a honey syrup (made with lemon zest and cinnamon), and topped with homemade vanilla custard, homemade whipped cream and toasted almonds! Two people can share one. Ugggghhhh - sooo good!

(Contains eggs, dairy, gluten and almonds).

3 of 3: Lemon Poppyseed Cake! $10

A classic! Four layers of the homemade cake with real lemon zest, butter and poppy seeds. With a homemade butter cream lemon curd icing! Big enough for 2.

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).
