Soup:

*The soup will be different starting tomorrow!

Middle Eastern Chick Pea! $8

With chick peas, carrots, celery, zucchini, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper and chili flakes! Healthy and flavourful!

(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)

Appetizers:

1 of 2: Caribbean Tostones! (Toe-stone-ays) $10

YUM! Tostones are awesome - they are fried plantains sprinkled with salt. While plantains *look like bananas, they are starchier and have a texture/taste more like a potato when they’re fried. You get 4 in an order, and they’re served with a homemade chipotle mayo to dip (lime juice, garlic, jalapenos, tomato paste). Simple, but so good!

(Vegetarian. Dairy free. They don’t contain gluten, but please advise us of celiac disease as they are cooked in a communal fryer!)

2 of 2: Vegetarian “Kibbeh!” $12

The flavour in these is AMAZING! A snack from Syria and Lebanon that is normally made with ground meat, we have done a vegetarian version! Cooked bulgur wheat (it has an awesome texture!) is formed around a delicious filling of ground walnuts, sesame seeds, pomegranate molasses, onions, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, and sauteed minced carrots. They are fried until crunchy! You get two bigger ones in an order, so it’s good for two people to share! They take a lot of skill to stuff!

(Vegan. Contains gluten, walnuts and sesame. Dairy free!)

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:

Jamaican Chicken and Vegetable Curry! $26 (Veg Only: $25, Vegan: $23)

This is sooooo delicious, and filling! Caribbean flavours can’t be beat: onions, celery, garlic, scotch bonnet peppers, Jamaican curry powder, allspice, thyme, kidney beans, optional chicken breast pieces, green peas, potatoes, green bell peppers, coconut milk & coconut oil are all cooked in this aromatic curry. With just the right amount of heat (but not too hot), it is packed full of flavour and is a very generous portion! For the vegetarian version, you get two hard-boiled eggs halved and served with the curry instead of the chicken. For the vegan version, you get the curry as is! Served with steamed rice and a small homemade festival bread (a sweetened fried bread made with flour, cornmeal, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and coconut milk!)

(Gluten-free free without the bread - $24. Vegetarian without the chicken, egg instead. Vegan without the chicken or egg. Dairy free!). 

Dessert:

1 of 2: Return of the Chocolate Zucchini Cake! $10

This is always popular! A very moist and rich chocolate cake with chocolate chips, grated zucchini and walnuts. The middle layer has chocolate pudding, and it has homemade whipped chocolate icing so good it could make you cry! Big enough for 2.

(Contains gluten, eggs, walnuts and dairy).

2 of 2: Ready at 5:00: Caribbean Banana Cake! $10

Homemade banana cake layered with homemade banana custard. It has a homemade butter cream icing with toasted coconut on the outside! SO GOOD!

(Contains gluten, dairy, eggs and almond extract).
