Soup:

Indian Spiced Lentil! $8

This soup is sooooooo good (and with naan and rice, it could be a meal!) Whole brown lentils, red onions, garlic, ginger, chilies, turmeric, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, black cardamom & Indian bay leaves in this flavourful soup!  Topped with finely chopped red onions, cilantro and tomatoes. A pleasing heat!

(Vegan.  Gluten and dairy free).

Appetizer:

Belizean Squash & Pepita Dip with Corn Chips! $13

This is delicious! Two cornflour tortillas are fried up until puffy & crunchy as chips and served with a spiced vegetable mix - mashed squash, pumpkin, roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic, red jalalpenos, cumin, cinnamon, chipotle, ancho, ground pepitas (pumpkin seeds), etc. Topped with homemade queso fresco (a crumbled white cheese). Big enough for 2 to share and a great combo of textures!

(Vegetarian. Vegan without the queso fresco. Contains gluten.)

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

Main:

Central American Pork Plate of Dreams! $27

This is a saucier version of pork carnitas! It is a MARVEL of Central American bliss - the perfect antidote to this weather. :) The pork shoulder pieces were cooked down until tender with onions, garlic, tomato paste, bay leaves, chipotle, cumin, oregano, thyme, Coca-Cola (it adds the perfect sweetness!), orange juice, pinto beans, etc. You get a pile of it served with steamed basmati rice, fresh sliced avocadoes, two homemade tostones (deliciously crunchy salted fried plantains) and two flour tortillas to eat it with. ENJOY! The smell alone is so amazing!

(Gluten free without the tortillas [$26]. Dairy free).

A vanilla-coconut milk case layered with a homemade raspberry sauce, and homemade Swiss butter cream.  With toasted coconut on the outside!  Big enough for 2.

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).

2 of 3: 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! It is for those with a sweet tooth!

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).

3 of 3: Caribbean Banana Bread Pudding! $10

This is always very popular!  Best served warm, this bread pudding is made with homemade banana bread, cashews, lime & orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc., and served with homemade crème Anglaise to pour on top.  Big enough for 2!
