Soup:
Persian Herb, Spinach and Lentil Soup! $8
Yum! One of Jenn’s favourite soups! Persian food is aromatic rather than hot! Caramelized onions, garlic, leeks, cumin, coriander, black pepper, turmeric, dried mint (we dried it from fresh ourselves!), parsley, cilantro, spinach, chick peas, green lentils, and very thin eggs noodles. So good!
(Vegetarian. Dairy-free. Contains egg and gluten).
Appetizer:
Cauliflower Fritters with Roasted Carrot Hummus! $13
Dev made a FABULOUS roasted carrot and garlic spiced hummus (tahini, chick peas, olive oil, lemon juice, allspice, freshly ground cumin & coriander seeds, powdered ginger - it is sooooo good!) It is served with four crunchy cauliflower fritters (chopped cauliflower, green beans & carrots, onions, parsley and cumin all held together with flour, Panko bread crumbs and eggs). Perfect for 2 people to share!
(Vegetarian. Contains sesame, gluten and eggs. Dairy-free).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)
Coffee! $3.50
We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!
Cold Drinks:
Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3
Nestea Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon, Grapefruit & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Persian Chicken with Walnut Sauce! $26
This is next-level tasty! OH MY. You get a generous portion of marinated boneless chicken thighs (yogurt, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper, garlic, ginger, onions) cooked in a DELICIOUS walnut-pomegranate sauce (ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, kidney beans, chicken stock, etc. The pomegranate gives it a touch of sweet and sour, the walnuts give it a nutty flavour and the spices tie it all together!) It is served with a very aromatic and simple rice pilaf (onions, butter, real saffron, orange zest, a few dried cranberries and cinnamon sticks), and is topped with some fresh pomegranate arils and parsley! Yummmmmm.
(Contains dairy and walnuts. Gluten-free!)
Dessert:
Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $11
One of Jenn’s favourite cakes! The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom, ginger, and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh! Big enough for 2.
(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs)
