The snow has bummed us out, so we are offering Eastern European comfort food this week! :)
Soup:
Polish Potato and Dill Pickle! $8
This soup is SOOOOO tasty (and no, it’s not super pickle-y or sour!) It is so creamy, with potatoes, carrots, celery, sour cream, dill, paprika, bay leaves, butter, chopped pickled cucumbers and vegetable stock - the flavour is awesome! (Jenn normally skips the side pickle on her plate, but enjoyed this soup a lot!)
(Vegetarian. Contains gluten and dairy).
Appetizer:
Macedonian Zucchini Fritters! $13
Grated zucchini, onions, garlic, flour, egg, fresh dill, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, bread crumbs and lemon zest in these tasty fritters! You get two nice-sized ones fried up and served with homemade ajvar to dip - an AMAZING blended roasted red pepper and eggplant sauce with paprika, garlic and chili flakes! So delicious! Good for two to share!
(Contains egg, dairy and gluten. Vegetarian).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

We bring this back often since we get many requests for it (Dev's Eastern European cooking is ridiculously good!) Chicken breast, bell peppers, onions, garlic, paprika, dill, caraway, tomato paste, sour cream and chicken stock cooked in this glorious stew. It is served over homemade spatezle (little boiled flour dumplings made with a hint of nutmeg and black pepper) and topped with a dollop of sour cream. Packed full of flavour, and very filling!

With just the right amount of heat, it is packed full of flavour and is a very generous portion! Served with steamed rice and a small fried roti (like our doubles bread!)
