Today’s Specials & Reservation Information

RESERVATION PROTOCOL

The best way to make a reservation is to call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30PM on Wednesdays to Saturdays (and you can call after 8:30AM on Sundays).  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!) :)

 TAKE-OUT PROTOCOL

   For our dinner service, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 Wednesdays to Saturdays to place your take-out order in advance (after 8:30 on Sundays for breakfast). The hours for pick-up are in 5 minute increments between 4:00-7:45 for dinner (and 9:00-12:45 on Sunday).  The regular menu is all available, plus daily features listed below.

Friday December 12th (4:00-8:00)

For a take-out order or reservation, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30! The regular menu is available, plus the features below! We still have plenty of openings - give us a call! It’s been slower lately :)

Christmas Hours:

Because of the way the calendar falls this year, it makes more sense for us to close for a little period over the holidays (rather than opening and closing, which is troublesome for food safety purposes). Our last day open will be Sunday December 21st and we re-open on Wednesday December 31st, which is New Year’s Eve! If you want to book a “time spot” for takeout on NYE, you can do so any time, and then call back that afternoon with the actual order since we will have the specials posted by then - this way you can at least guarantee your spot. If you are ordering off the regular menu, you can go ahead and place the order :) We will also be OPEN on Thursday January 1st.

Sunday December 21st is our 14th Annual Breakfast Pajamas Party - come to breakfast in your pajamas, and your name goes in a draw to win a prize! If you wear a onesie, your name goes in twice! :)

Soup:

Caribbean Sweet Potato! $8

A pureed soup made with coconut milk, habanero peppers, onions, garlic, leeks, sweet potatoes, allspice, thyme and curry powder! So tasty (not crazy hot, just flavourful!)

(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free).

Appetizer:

Tex-Mex Elotes (E-lo-tays) in a Bowl! $10

This is SO GOOD!  Grilled corn kernels cooked in a sauce made with sour cream, butter, chipotle, mayo, cumin seeds, jalapenos, onions, garlic, green bell peppers, finely chopped cilantro and lime juice!  It is served warm in a bowl topped with homemade(!) queso fresco (crumbled white cheese) - you eat it with a spoon.  It is big enough to split between 2 - there is a touch of heat but it’s offset by the sweetness of the corn!

(Vegetarian.  Gluten free! Contains dairy and egg [from the mayo]).

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:

Return of the Chimichanga! $26 (Veg: $24)

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)

Dessert:

German Bee Sting Cake $10

This is delicious! A homemade yeast-based dough is topped with almonds baked into it with honey, and has layer of a vanilla Bavarian pastry cream in the middle! Amazing!

(Contains gluten, dairy, eggs and almonds).
