About Shamora

Tucked inside Newton Village, Shamora swaps predictable shopping-centre fare for piping hot borscht, savoury crepes, and Himalayan chilli rice plates. Regulars come through for speedy morning coffees and towering pancake stacks, but the kitchen leans into regional comfort dishes you rarely spot on suburban menus. Expect bowls of Siberian pelmeni, spicy Emadatshi chicken, and tender lamb plov paired with fresh-pressed juices or a quick flat white.

  • Cross-Cultural Specialty Plates: The kitchen pairs standard brunch staples with Siberian pelmeni, hearty borscht soup, and fiery Emadatshi chicken.
  • Bustling Suburban Hub: Newton Village regulars rely on prompt table service for morning lattes, fresh juices, and generous pancake stacks.

  • Prompt service and dependable cafe staples

    Whether you are ordering hot coffee, freshly prepared bacon and egg muffins, or Eggs Benedict, dishes and drinks arrive promptly even when the dining area is bustling.

    Food was served very fast, and coffee too despite it being almost full of customers.

  • Consistently fresh juices and hot coffee

    Guests rely on freshly extracted fruit juices and rich, properly heated coffee served with warm, attentive care.

    The fresh fruit juices are amazing; I have a hard time deciding which to get every visit.

  • Rare cross-cultural regional comfort dishes

    The menu stands out from typical suburban cafes with distinct regional specialties like Himalayan chili rice crepes, Emadatshi chicken, and savoury dumplings.

    I really appreciate the variety of food selections that you don’t find at the standard cafes.

  • Authentic flavours and specialty comfort cooking

    Diners experience vibrant, seasoned traditional dishes like Siberian pelmeni, jhasha paa, and golubtsy rarely encountered on a cafe brunch menu.

    The jhasha paa had just the right amount of spiciness and flavour, the golubtsy sauce/soup filled with tomato and dill flavour, and the Siberian pelmeni was a lovely starter to our mains.

  • Generous servings for family breakfasts and get-togethers

    Generous portions of Canadian pancakes, high tea platters, and big breakfasts make it an easy, crowd-pleasing destination for outings with family and kids.

    Had the Canadian pancake breakfast. The serving was very generous. The pancakes cooked to perfection and the bacon beautiful and soft.

  • Shared dining and high tea options

    Thoughtfully arranged high tea sets and breakfast plates cater seamlessly to groups with mixed tastes and varied dietary preferences.

    The serves were generous with good balance of sweet and savoury. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. The high Tea was excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

Top brunch favorites and distinctive regional specialties

  • Pancakes

    My kiddo always opts for the pancakes and thoroughly loves them.

  • Big Breakfast

    I ordered the big breakfast, forgot to take a pic. 🤦Beautifully presented. Just delicious.

    Tanja Roma

  • Himalayan Chili Rice Crepe

    Himalayan Chili Rice Crepe is a must try!! It's easily the best item in the menu that I have tried so far. It's got the perfect kick to it, and very well seasoned.

    Kiky Aritya

  • Emadatshi Chicken

    The Emadatshi Chicken should probably have a second chilli symbol next to it! Absolutely delicious but not for the faint of heart!

Sides, refreshing juices, and sweet finishes

  • Fresh Juice

    The fresh juice was delicious - one of the best fresh Juices I've had. I ordered with ginger and it's the first place you can actually taste the ginger in it.

  • Hot Chips

    The hot chips were delicious - I would go back just to eat their hot chips 🤤

    Kat Alice

    the Siberian pelmeni was a lovely starter to our mains. Would definitely recommend.

    Finally, we had the mixed berry crepes with ice cream and cream, along with a scotch on the rocks.

Before you head over

Practical tips on parking, spice levels, and customising your order

  • Watch the spice levels

    Dishes like the Emadatshi Chicken and Himalayan chili plates pack serious heat and are not for the faint of heart; check with staff about milder alternatives if you have lower spice tolerance.

  • EV charging available

    If you are driving, take advantage of the shopping centre car park, which features a Chargefox EV charging station right on site.

  • Request drinks unsweetened

    While the fresh juices get high praise, some blended drinks like carrot juice with ginger can be quite sweet; ask for sweetener on the side if you prefer to adjust it yourself.
