Soup:
Mexican Pumpkin Puree! $8
Delicious! Pumpkin, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, cumin, cinnamon, etc., in this lovely pureed soup suitable for the season! Topped with toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for a little crunch!
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)
Appetizers:
1 of 2: Homemade Chicken Nuggies!!! $16
We will only be running these tonight (and likely tomorrow - if there are some left!) They were a lot of work to make - LOL! - Dev minced the chicken tenders up, and hand-formed each nugget individually with a homemade flour-egg-panko breading. Four good-sized ones come in an order (no filler, all chicken), served with a DELICIOUS homemade honey-mustard-mayo made with a bit of Korean gochujang hot sauce! Epic! Jenn’s brother, who is the pickiest eater alive, approves of this message! (His words: “Dang. These are real good.”)
(Contains gluten and eggs. Dairy free!)
2 of 2: SOLD OUT - SORRY! :( Mexican Black Bean & Cheddar Bites! $14
These are so delicious!!! Four little fritters made with mashed up black beans, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, ancho, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese! Held together with bread crumbs, they are fried up until crunchy and served with a homemade chipotle-lime mayo to dip! Good for 2-4 to share.
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, eggs and gluten).
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:
SOLD OUT UNTIL TOMORROW! :) - SORRY! Persian Walnut Chicken! (Fesenjoon) $27
The sauce is soooo good - made with butter, ground walnuts, caramelized onions, garlic, cinnamon sticks, cumin, black pepper, pomegranate molasses, a bit of date syrup, cayenne, turmeric, etc. The nuttiness from the walnuts and sweet/sour from the pomegranate is awesome! Tender boneless, skinless thicken thighs are cooked in the sauce and it’s topped with fresh pomegranate arils and parsley. A generous portion of it comes with a delicious saffron rice pilaf (basmati rice, real saffron, candied almonds, dried cranberries, orange peel and crispy sliced potatoes which were cooked in the bottom of the rice pot)!
(Contains walnuts and butter. Gluten-free!)
Desserts:
1 of 2: Mexican Chocolate Brownie! $10
A chocolately explosion with a hint of cayenne and cinnamon, it is topped with a whipped meringue-like icing and chocolate chunks! Big enough for 2 to share!
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
2 of 2: 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).
