Soups:
1 of 2: Mexican Black Bean $8
Black beans, onions, garlic, corn, cumin, oregano, celery, roasted cubanelle peppers, tomatoes and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in this super tasty soup! Flavourful, but not crazy hot!
(Gluten and dairy free. Vegan).
2 of 2: Indian Tomato, Pea and Coconut $8
The flavour in this is outstanding! With onions, garlic, tomatoes, peas, curry leaves, fenugreek, coconut milk, cumin, cloves, garam masala, cinnamon, Indian bay leaves, etc. Not spicy, just tasty!
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free).
Leftovers Deal!:
Dev’s Delicious Slaw! $4
This is so fresh! You can eat it on its own, or with meat, eggs, beans, etc. It kind of tastes like a sub dressing! It’s made with cabbage, carrots, jalapenos, red onions, celery seeds, paprika, garlic, thyme, oregano, vinegar and sugar. Amazing! The portion is enough for 1-3 depending on what you eat it with. It will be good for another week or more.
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)
Appetizer:
Zucchini Chick Pea Fritters! $13
Delicious! Grated zucchini, chick peas, bread crumbs, cumin, green onions, garlic, parsley, coriander, nutmeg, allspice, lemon zest and feta cheese in these tasty fried fritters! You get three in an order with homemade tzatziki to dip (yogurt, fresh dill, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil).
(Vegetarian. Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
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
Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Mains:
1 of 2: Indian Chicken or Cauliflower Vindaloo $24/$21
A spicier (but not too spicy) dish from the south of India! It is amazing! The chicken breast pieces or cauliflower are cooked in a sauce made with cumin, coriander, cardamom, mustard seeds, tomatoes, vinegar, cloves, brown sugar, black pepper, turmeric, fenugreek, curry leaves, garlic, ginger and hot chili powder. It is very different from butter chicken because there is no cream in it (and it is less sweet). You get a generous portion served with homemade naan bread, basmati rice, a garnish of red onions & cilantro, and a side of plain yogurt for a cooling effect!
(Dairy free without the yogurt. Gluten-free without the naan, GF tortilla instead for+$1. Vegetarian with the cauliflower version. Vegan without the yogurt).
2 of 2: *Limited Supply!: Return of the Chimichanga! $27 (Veg: $25)
In case you missed it last week, we had enough ingredients left to make a few more for tonight! A glorious monstrosity of a burrito stuffed with seasoned rice (tomatoes, bell peppers, kidney beans, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, garlic, cilantro, onions, etc.) and your choice of shredded chicken or roasted sweet potatoes. It is then deep-fried until crunchy (but not saturated) and drenched with a homemade luscious smoky sour-cream cheese sauce that is out of this world (it has chipotle powder, ancho chili powder, garlic, cheddar cheese, etc.)! Served over chopped lettuce and topped with cilantro and tomatoes! Amazing! It is BIG. Very big.
(Contains gluten and dairy. Vegetarian with the veg version).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Middle Eastern Pistachio Walnut Baklava! $9
Yum! Layers buttery phyllo pastry with a filling of crushed walnuts and pistachios. It is soaked in a syrup made with cardamom, cinnamon and orange blossom water (which has a very distinctive taste!) Each piece is big enough for two people. SO. GOOD - it brought Jenn right back to a bakery in Sarajevo.
(Contains gluten, dairy and walnuts).
2 of 2: Tres Leches Cake! $10
OH. MY. WORD. This is heavennnnnnly! A vanilla sponge cake soaked in condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream (the texture is sooo good - kind of like tiramisu). It is topped with a thick layer of homemade whipped cream mixed with dulce de leche (caramel!) Big enough for 2!
(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).
