(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)

Appetizers:

1 of 2: Spinach Fritters with Tzatziki! $12

Four DELICIOUS homemade spinach fritters come in an order (they are little balls made with cooked spinach, bread crumbs, onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, chili flakes, nutmeg, lemon zest, ground pistachios & cashews that are fried up until crunchy!) Served with homemade tzatziki (Balkan yogurt, crushed garlic, grated cucumbers, fresh dill, feta cheese). YUMMM.

(Vegetarian. Contains gluten, dairy and cashews).

2 of 2: Algerian Bourek! $13

A common appetizer in Algeria that can have different fillings! Ours has mashed potatoes mixed with onions, leeks, feta & mozzarella cheese, cumin, turmeric, paprika, fenugreek, curry leaves, black pepper and green chilies all stuffed inside spring roll wraps. They are rolled up like cigars - four small ones come in an order so they're good for sharing. :) The filling is divine!!! Jenn can't stop eating them.

(Vegetarian. Contains gluten and dairy).

Leftovers Deal:

Home Fries! $7

We have some potatoes left from Sunday - they are seasoned, grilled up and drizzled with our house spiced mayo! Add fried eggs for $1.50 each.

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!

Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3

Fuze Iced Tea $3

Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50

Main:

Persian Walnut Chicken or Cauliflower! $26/$23

The sauce is soooo good - made with butter, ground walnuts, caramelized onions, garlic, cinnamon sticks, cumin, black pepper, pomegranate molasses, green chilies, bay leaves, parsley, cilantro, etc. The nuttiness from the walnuts and sweet/sour from the pomegranate is awesome! You choose either chicken breast or roasted cauliflower to get cooked in the sauce, and it’s served topped with fresh pomegranate arils! A generous portion of it comes with a delicious jeweled rice pilaf (basmati rice, onions, some apricots, dried cranberries & orange peel, kale and carrots -it’s not heavily “fruited;” there is just enough to give it little bursts of flavour!)

(Contains walnuts and butter. Vegetarian with the cauliflower version! Gluten-free!)

Desserts:

1 of 2: Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $10

The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh-tasting!!! Big enough for 2. :)

(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs).

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!

(Contains eggs, dairy, gluten and almonds).
