RESERVATION PROTOCOL

The best way to make a reservation is to call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30PM on Wednesdays to Saturdays (and you can call after 8:30AM on Sundays).  If you wish to pre-order your food when you make your reservation, go for it!  Walk-ins will only be accepted if it's a slow night for take-out, (take-out is about 80% of our business, thus reservations are strongly recommended!) :)

 TAKE-OUT PROTOCOL

   For our dinner service, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 Wednesdays to Saturdays to place your take-out order in advance (after 8:30 on Sundays for breakfast). The hours for pick-up are in 5 minute increments between 4:00-7:45 for dinner (and 9:00-12:45 on Sunday).  The regular menu is all available, plus daily features listed below.

For a takeout order or reservation, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30! The regular menu is available, plus the features below! We still have openings only after 7:00- give us a call for then!

Mother’s Day Info: We still have a few openings left for dine-in on Sunday May 10th (our breakfast menu)!

2 of 2: Greek Custard Kataifi! $10

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!
