Soups:

1 of 2: Asian Mushroom & Vegetable! $8

A brothy soup with many mushrooms - always a big hit! Button & cremini mushrooms, tofu, green onions, bok choy, napa cabbage, sesame oil, soy sauce, five spice powder, and a touch of rice wine vinegar. Amazing! Jenn has already eaten several bowls. 

(Vegan. Contains soy [thus traces of gluten] and sesame).

Split peas, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, cumin, nutmeg, black pepper, bay leaves, etc. in this tasty soup! It’s healthy and warming!

Algerian Bourek! $13

A common appetizer in Algeria that can have different fillings! Ours has mashed potatoes mixed with onions, garlic, leeks, feta & mozzarella cheese, cumin, turmeric, paprika, parsley, and chili flakes and is all stuffed inside spring roll pastry. They are rolled into cigar shapes, and fried up until crunchy! Two come in an order so it’s good for sharing. :)
