Less than one day left to get a 40%-off SocialShopper coupon for Salchicha's Meat Bar. As deals go it's really good value, especially when you are not locked into some sort of tasting menu with limited options. Note that the SocialShopper page talks about mango mustard chicken and build-your-own paninis, but we couldn't find either on the lunch menu. So if you really want either, call ahead.
There are a few vegetarian and gluten-free options.
The room is long and sort of narrow, and a very pleasant respite from the very dilapidated neighbourhood. Pretty quiet on weekday afternoons, so that's your best bet for large groups or a slow, lingering lunch with excellent company. Their made-in-house lemonade might not be ready yet so early in the day, though.
Shakshouka Maraguez ($13) Slow cooked spicy tomato sauce and poached eggs with our famous made in-house spicy Maraguez sausages served with focaccia bread and tahini sauce
Homemade Veggie Sausage (vegetarian, gluten-free; $14) Fresh vegetable puree with garbanzo beans, stuffed to a sausage and grilled to perfection, topped with feta cheese and our unique almond pesto sauce served with carrot rice
Malabi ($5) Traditional Arabic dessert of corn flour and milk topped with rose water and maple syrup, coconut shavings, and crushed peanuts.

- Comes sizzling to your table.
- Very spicy-hot so watch out!
- Overall really pretty good and at $13 the portion you get is also good value.

- Sausage very tender, almost mushy.
- Way too much pickle (?) inside for me. All I tasted was pickle.
- Rice had interesting look from carrots but otherwise this is a pretty boring dish.
Malabi ($5) Traditional Arabic dessert of corn flour and milk topped with rose water and maple syrup, coconut shavings, and crushed peanuts.
- The light, creamy dessert is actually pretty bland without the rose water, maple syrup, coconut, and peanuts, so be sure to get a bit of everything with each scoop.
- You can ask for less of the rose water/maple syrup sauce. I'm not good with that pungent stuff so they toned it down to just half the usual portion, and I found that to be a very good amount, nicely balancing everything.
- Overall OK. The only dessert they have on the menu at the moment.
