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!) :)

Yes, we are still taking reservations and take-out pre-orders for Father’s Day this Sunday (Sunday is our breakfast menu from 9:00-12:30!) We aren’t sure what the special will be yet, but if you still want to book a “spot” for takeout you can (then you can call back Sunday morning with the order once you see the special!) We are fulled booked between 10:05 and 12:00 but still have plenty of spots available before and after that!
Soups:
Polish Dill Pickle Soup! $8
This soup is tasty - it’s not super pickle-y or sour, but you do have to enjoy that flavour! It is so creamy! Potatoes, carrots, celery, sour cream, dill, chopped pickled cucumbers, and vegetable stock in this delicious soup - the flavour is surprisingly awesome! (Jenn normally skips the side pickle on her plate, but enjoyed this soup a lot!)
(Vegetarian. Contains gluten and dairy).
Appetizer:
Spinach and Feta Phyllo Rolls! $14
Popular in the Balkans, these things are delicious! The phyllo pastry is brushed with butter, stuffed with a filling of cooked spinach, leeks, dill, crumbled feta cheese, lemon zest, onions, a touch of white wine, parsley, etc., rolled into cigar-shaped rolls and baked until brown with sesame seeds on top! You get two in an order served with homemade tzatziki to dip (yogurt, grated cucumbers, fresh dill). Get it with a soup, and it’s a meal!
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, gluten and sesame).
Leftovers Deal:
Dev’s Famous Chimichurri Mayo! $1.50 (2 oz portion) $7 (Soup Bowl’s Worth)
This stuff is DIVINE! Mayo blended with cilantro, parsley, garlic, red onions, red wine vinegar and chili flakes! You can eat it on a sandwich, in a wrap, dip potatoes in it or pour it on chicken or beef! You can order a tiny portion meant for one serving, or a soup bowl’s worth which will go a lot longer. It will be good for another 4-5 days :) Just the right amount of heat.
(Vegetarian. Contains egg. Dairy and gluten 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
Nestea Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon, Grapefruit & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Brian’s Request: Return of the Hungarian Chicken Paprikash! $26
We bring this back often since we get many requests for it (Dev's Eastern European cooking is ridiculously good!) Chicken breast, bell peppers, onions, garlic, paprika, dill, caraway, tomato paste, sour cream and chicken stock cooked in this glorious stew. It is served over homemade spatezle (little boiled flour dumplings made with a hint of nutmeg and black pepper) and topped with a dollop of sour cream. Packed full of flavour, and very filling!
(Contains dairy and gluten).
Dessert:
Blackberry Cake! $11
Layers of a homemade vanilla and lime zest cake with a Swiss butter cream icing made with fresh pureed blackberries (it’s a lovely purple colour!) In between the layers is a homemade blackberry custard! So good, and big enough for 2 to share.
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
