Chaat in a Tart $7 (3 pcs)
The quintessential Indian street snack — chaat — reimagined as a cute little tartlet. A crispy tart shell is layered with potatoes, onions, cucumber with cilantro and tamarind chutney, then liberally topped with crispy sev noodles and garnished with lime and pomegranate seeds. The combination of crispy, crunchy, spicy, and tangy is downright addictive!

Also available #vegan with tasty vegetable kofta (mince potato, peas, carrots, and cauliflower) dipped in the a smooth tomato sauce made creamy with almond milk; both are served with saffron rice and a kachumber salad of fresh chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, coriander, and lemon juice.
Caramel Kheer $7
Kheer is a traditional Indian rice pudding, where milk, rice, nuts sugar and spices are slow cooked for hours until luscious and creamy. We’ve added an a extra layer of caramel to make it even more amazing!
