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!) :)

Please note: Our spring holidays are coming up! Our last day open is Saturday April 19th, and we re-open on Wednesday May 7th. Thanks for understanding (and for your loyalty!)- this has been our busiest winter yet, and we need a little breather before summer :)
Soup:
Mexican Black Bean with Corn Chips! $8
So good! Black beans, onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, chipotle & ancho powder, cayenne, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, etc., in this half-pureed soup! Topped with fried homemade corn flour (masa harina) chips for maximum deliciousness! A touch of heat, but not crazy hot.
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free. Contains corn).
Appetizer:
Squash Dip with Naan $12
This is SO GOOD. Roasted sweet potatoes, acorn squash & butternut squash pureed into a dip with cream cheese, onions, garlic, honey, harissa spice mix (cumin, caraway, coriander, chilies, etc.). Topped with chopped walnuts and toasted pepitas. The dip is served warm with homemade naan bread and is big enough for 2 to share! OH MY. One of Jenn’s favourite things. It has a pleasing heat to it.
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy and walnuts. Gluten free with a GF tortilla instead of naan).
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
Nestea Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon, Grapefruit & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
German Braised Pork $27
This crappy cold weather calls for a hearty German meal! We don’t often do Central European cooking, so take advantage of this extra special feature (it took all day to make!) You get thick slices of pork shoulder - the pork was braised with white wine, paprika, mustard, caraway, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, etc., and the liquid gets turned into a homemade gravy for the top! It is served with braised cabbage (cabbage cooked with apples, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon sticks & brown sugar) and comes with large homemade potato dumplings (flour, mashed potatoes, nutmeg, eggs, black pepper) that are topped with a mushroom brown-butter cream sauce. OH MY. The dumplings are DIVINE!! Don’t miss out!
(Contains dairy, eggs and gluten).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Lemon Cake! $8
So good! A lemon poppyseed cake base layered with a homemade lemon curd in the middle and German buttercream icing made with a bit of lemon on the outside. The perfect blend of citrus and sweet!
(Contains gluten, dairy, eggs and poppy seeds).
2 of 2: Black Cocoa Chocolate Cake! $10
A rich homemade chocolate cake (made with black cocoa) with a vanilla icing in the middle and a chocolate butter cream on the outside! Simple and delicious! It kind of looks like an Oreo (but it’s a soft cake)! Big enough for 2!
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
