Today’s Features:

Appetizer:

Central American Arepas! $13

Shredded seasoned chicken (bell peppers, onions, cumin, chiptole, ancho, paprika, etc.) stuffed inside two small grilled homemade cornflour patties with shredded lettuce, homemade queso fresco (crumbled white cheese), and a homemade poblano-avocado salsa (tomatillos, jalapenos, roasted onions and garlic, etc.)! So good! Big enough for 2 to share.

(Gluten free! Dairy-free without the queso fresco).

Soups:

1 of 2: Corn Chowder! $7

This is always a hit, so we bring it back often - with onions, garlic, bell peppers, corn, cumin, jalapenos (but it's not spicy!) potatoes, butter, cream and some cilantro!  Amazing - it truly is bursting with love, and is one of Jenn's favourites.

(Vegetarian.  Contains dairy.  Gluten free).

2 of 2: Indian Spiced Red Lentil $7

The flavour in this is outstanding!  Red lentils, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, coconut milk, tomatoes, and many aromatic spices (toasted cumin seeds, coriander, garam masala, fresh curry leaves, bay leaves, etc.) in this amazing soup!  Simple but so delicious!

(Vegan.  Gluten and dairy free).

Drinks:

Chai $3.50

Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

Coffee! $3

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:

Indian Chicken, Spinach and Almond Korma $24 (Veg: $21)

This is a very intricate dish with ground toasted almonds, butter, onions, garlic, ginger, a mix of many fresh ground spices - toasting makes all the difference! (green cardamom, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cinnamon), bay leaves, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, etc.  It is cooked with yogurt, a touch of cream, chicken breast pieces and spinach.  Served with basmati rice, our homemade naan bread, and a garnish of homemade crispy fried onions and cilantro!  Truly amazing, and with premium ingredients (we make ours homestyle)!  For the veggie version, we will use cauliflower, bell peppers & spinach instead of chicken :)

(Contains dairy and almonds.  Gluten free with extra rice instead of naan or a GF tortilla +$1. Vegetarian with the vegetable version).

Dessert:

Swedish Fika Cake $9

The most perfectly moist, buttery vanilla cake topped with crunchy, buttery, sweetened sliced almonds!  So simple, sooooo delicious!  Big enough for 2 to share.  YUM.  Best served warm.   This is one of the best cakes Jenn has ever eaten - do not be deceived by its simplicity!

(Contains gluten, eggs, dairy and almonds).
