Soup:
Azerbaijani Barley & Vegetable! $8
Carrots, red cabbage, parsley, spinach, pot barley, onions, garlic, a touch of mint, turmeric, paprika and black pepper in this hearty soup! Topped with (an optional) dollop of sour cream!
(Vegan without the sour cream. Contains gluten).
Appetizers:
1 of 2: Middle Eastern Chicken Phyllo Rolls! $14
Marinated chopped chicken (yogurt, ginger, garlic, onions, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, thyme, cardamom, allspice, cayenne, ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, etc.) is mixed with cream cheese and minced carrots, and stuffed into two phyllo pastry rolls layered with butter! Topped with sesame seeds and baked until brown, they are perfect for 2-4 to share! SO GOOD.
(Contains walnuts, sesame, gluten and dairy).
2 of 2: Persian Eggplant Dip with Naan! $13
So creamy and flavourful! Perfectly roasted eggplant (it was cooked over a flame to give it a smoky flavour!) onions, garlic, tomatoes, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, honey, mint, pomegranate molasses, etc., in this very tasty spread. It is served warm with homemade grilled and buttered naan bread! Good for 2 people to share :)
(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
Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Southwest Beef (or Sweet Potato) Navajo-Style “Tacos!” $25 (Veg: $22)
A lot of intricate steps go into making this fabulous dish! Ground beef (cooked with onions, corn, green peppers, kidney beans, garlic, ancho & chipotle powder, allspice, oregano, paprika, cumin, etc.) served over a huge homemade fry bread like our doubles bread (a puffy, crunchy bread with a soft interior). It is topped with lettuce, green onions, fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and homemade guacamole (avocadoes, lime juice, cumin, cilantro). For the vegetarian version, we are doing seasoned roasted sweet potatoes with kidney beans and corn instead of beef. Very filling, and full of flavour! It is huge - you can attempt to eat it as a big taco, but it’s best with a knife and fork!
(Vegetarian with the sweet potato version. Contains gluten and corn. Dairy-free without the cheese).
Desserts:
1 of 3: Almond-Pistachio Frangipane! $11
A homemade pie crust made with crumbled pistachio-almond cookies with a frangipane filling (almond flour, almond extract, vanilla, eggs, oodles of butter, sugar, cardamom and orange zest). It gets baked up and one slice is good for 2! Served with homemade whipped cream. :) For those who like less-super-sweet desserts!
(Contains almonds, pistachios, gluten and dairy).
2 of 3: Midnight Chocolate Coffee Cake! $10
Made with black cocoa (this is some serious cocoa!), the cake base has homemade coffee syrup in it! With a condensed milk butter cream-coffee icing mixed with chocolate crumbs on the outside! Similar to Oreos in flavour - but with coffee!
(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).
3 of 3: 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 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).
