Soup:
Eastern European Potato, Mushroom and Dill! $8
We only have enough left of this tasty soup for today (and maybe a few tomorrow). This soup is amazing - creamy and comforting! With bell peppers, roasted garlic, carrots, sauteed mushrooms, potatoes, cream, fresh dill and caraway seeds.
(Vegetarian. Gluten free. Contains dairy).
Appetizer:
Return of the Bean & Cheese Empanada! $13
This is amazing! A flaky, buttery homemade dough stuffed with a filling of cheddar cheese and spiced pinto beans (onions, garlic, cumin, lime, ancho and chipotle powder, oregano, etc.) It's very filling and can easily be split between two!
(Vegetarian. Contains gluten 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
Nestea Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon, Grapefruit & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Indian Chicken Curry! $24 (Veg: $22)
This is SOOOOO GOOD! The inspiration for this was a bag of fresh curry leaves - the flavour of these leaves is amazing! The sauce has onions, garlic, ginger, coconut oil and milk, peas, curry leaves, tomatoes, coriander seeds, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, etc. You choose either chicken or cauliflower & potatoes to get cooked in the sauce! It is fragrant rather than crazy hot (but it does have some heat), and the coconut milk gives it a very different flavour profile from butter chicken. It is served with basmati rice, homemade naan and a cilantro garnish!
(Vegetarian with the cauliflower-potato version. Gluten free without the naan. Add a GF tortilla +$1).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Sweet Potato Walnut Cake $11
A tasty cake base made with mashed sweet potatoes, cinnamon, allspice, walnuts and powdered ginger! It is layered with a maple custard and has a butter cream icing! AMAZING!
(Contains gluten, dairy, eggs and walnuts).
2 of 2: Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $11
The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom, ginger, and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh! Big enough for 2.
(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs).
