For just $12 per plate, enjoy traditional chicken and rice pilau (pronounced "per-loo"), a savory regional dish seasoned with black pepper and served with coleslaw, sweet pickles, crackers, and dessert.

Bring your own chairs or picnic blankets and beverages; limited table seating will be available.
Whether you're continuing a family tradition or discovering pilau for the first time, we hope you'll join us for an evening of good food, music, and community fellowship!
