| - Came here for a late lunch after exploring the art museum. I was excited about the many, many vegetarian options on the menu and the promises of all the savory pies (we'd seen a picture of a "Pie Wagon" from the 1930s and I was left craving pie).
We accidentally decided to explore Coventry on Star Wars Appreciation Day, but the wait to be seated wasn't bad. Wait staff were friendly and the ambiance was cheerful and low-key.
First, let me say that the baba ganouj was incredible. Not too smokey and with a great amount of garlic, good texture. I would eat this stuff with a spoon (and I did, with what I took home).
For main food, I got the endive and potato wheat pie with muenster cheese. It came looking a bit like a folded savory crepe with a very thick crust. I'm not sure if it was the whole wheat flour they used, but the crust was a bit tough and tasted just okay. I enjoyed the insides, but the flavors weren't anything too remarkable. I'd probably choose a more interesting type of pie next time (they have a number with the baba in them so. . . you can't really go wrong, I expect).
For the milkshakes--I didn't get one, but my date grabbed one of the specialty Star Wars ones (something about the double chocolate dark side?) and said it was delicious. He had so much that he got a to-go cup to take the second half of it home. I saw some vegan, Tofutti milkshakes in the menu, but I wasn't brave (or hungry) enough to grab one this time.
Overall--some good options, some blander ones. Probably takes some exploration to find your own favorites, but that's definitely possible with all the options.
