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!) :)

Soup:
Turkish Red Lentil! $8
Delicious! Onions, garlic, carrots, ginger, apricots, tomato paste, mint, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and paprika in this tasty soup! Flavourful rather than spicy.
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)
Appetizer:
Middle Eastern Flatbread! $14 (Veg: $12)
Similar to a Palestinian dish called musakhan (but with our own twist), you get a homemade naan topped with shredded seasoned chicken (cumin, coriander, allspice, cardamom, garlic and onion powder), a bit of homemade hummus (olive oil, tahini, garlic, cumin, lemon juice), caramelized red onions (with sumac and pomegranate molasses), some sliced almonds and a drizzle of homemade toum (a super garlicky garlic sauce)! It gets baked up and cut into four pieces, so it’s good for 2-4 to share! For vegetarians, we are topping it with some seasoned cauliflower instead of chicken!
(Vegetarian with the cauliflower version. Contains gluten, sesame and dairy).
Leftovers Deal:
Home Fries! $7
We have some potatoes left from Sunday. The home fries are seasoned, grilled up and drizzled with our house spiced mayo! Add fried eggs for $1.50 each.
(Vegetarian. Gluten and 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:
Greek Kebab Plate of Dreams! $26
This is AMAZING - filling and comforting! A homemade seasoned ground beef kebab (minced onions & garlic, parsley, a bit of mint, chili flakes, cumin, black pepper, paprika, nutmeg) grilled up and served with a homemade rice pilaf (spinach, leeks, onions, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest, ground pistachios), homemade tzatziki (yogurt, fresh dill, grated cucumbers, garlic) and a little salad (romaine lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and a homemade dressing made with white wine vinegar, a touch of mustard and pomegranate molasses!) Soooo good!
(Gluten free. Dairy free without the tzatziki or feta [$25]).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $10
The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh-tasting!!! Big enough for 2. :)
(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs).
2 of 2: Greek Custard Kataifi! $10
JENN HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THIS HEAVENLY DESSERT! Kataifi is a finely shredded phyllo pastry that has a lovely crunch! It is laid in a sheet pan and baked with butter. It is then soaked in a honey syrup (made with lemon zest and cinnamon), and topped with homemade vanilla custard, homemade whipped cream and toasted almonds! Two people can share one. Ugggghhhh - sooo good!
(Contains eggs, dairy, gluten and almonds).
