Soup:
South American Black Bean & Corn! $8
Black beans, corn kernels, onions, garlic, green bell peppers, carrots, celery, cilantro, a bit of rice, oregano, cumin, etc. This is not a tomato-based soup :) So yummy (and flavourful rather than hot!)
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free).
Appetizer:
Homemade Vegetable Spring Rolls! $13
Loaded with shredded cabbage & carrots, mushrooms, crumbled tofu, green onions, ginger, garlic, thin rice vermicelli noodles, sesame oil and soy sauce! You get two fried spring rolls in an order served with an amazing homemade sweet and sour sauce!
(Vegetarian. Contains gluten, soy and sesame).
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
Mains:
1 of 2: General Tso’s Chicken (or Tofu)! $25/$22
Dev’s version of this classic is delicious! Chicken breast pieces or tofu that are marinated in ginger-garlic paste & soy sauce are then coated lightly in cornstarch and a bit of flour and deep-fried until crispy! Tossed in a tasty homemade sauce (with hoisin, rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, etc.), with broccoli and bell peppers. It is topped with sesame seeds & green onions, and served with steamed rice. A very generous portion and everything is homemade! If you like sweet and salty Chinese food, look no further!
(Contains gluten, egg, sesame, cornstarch and soy. Dairy-free. Vegan/egg-free with the tofu version).
2 of 2: Chilean-Style Pork and Beans! $26
We have never made this one before - you get to try something new! The pork shoulder was cut into pieces and cooked until nice and tender in a DIVINE sauce made with onions, garlic, bay leaves, grilled cubanelle peppers, oregano, fennel, cumin, tomatoes, ancho chilies, pinto beans, potatoes and cilantro. Served with steamed rice and homemade naan bread, it is topped with homemade pickled jalapenos! The only noticeable heat is the jalapenos.
(Gluten-free without the bread, $25. Dairy free without butter on the naan).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Caribbean Banana Bread Pudding! 10
We’ve brought it back to help combat the weather! Best served warm, this bread pudding is made with homemade banana bread, cashews, lime and orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc., and served with homemade crème Anglaise to pour on top. Big enough for 2!
(Contains gluten, eggs, dairy and cashews).
2 of 2: Sweet Potato Cake! $10
The cake base is made with mashed sweet potatoes, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, cloves and ground ginger! The middle layer is a homemade vanilla custard and it has a maple glaze icing! Amazing and big enough for 2.
(Contains gluten, dairy, eggs and walnuts)
