Tiqa - Portland

I had the best experience at this restaurant, the baba ghanoush and pita bread were outstanding. The potato pancakes and polenta were also amazing. The cocktails, maineland, and cucumber limeaid were all delicious.

This restaurant has the best falafel I have ever had! There are so many delicious options to choose from on the menu.

Wow. First of all this is like my fifth review today so bear with me on this one, BUT i attended this lovely event (dinner with the help of my momma (a non vegan with a serious cow and bean problem (some call this a dairy and soy allergy my father, who is just happy to be there, and me! (a hungry vegan athlete that had the nickname 'peanut ' as a child but is now severely allergic to them. Now that this sounds like a dating profile, let 's begin. We started with the hummus, baba, pita, beans, and potato pancake. They were all just fantastic. The hummus was unanimously the best hummus we had ever had, and being a vegan I have had a LOT of hummus out. It was topped with crispy garlic, everything bagel seasoning, and chives, and dear lord was that a game changer. It was stunning and delicious. The baba was topped with balsamic and lemon oil reduction and was extremely smooth and amazing. The beans were surprisingly served cold, but were still very good. But the potato pancake, that **** was delicious. It was so-freaking-good and a big hit through the whole table. My mother ordered the salmon and rates it a 10/10 which surprises me as she has never rated salmon other than the one she cooks that high. So props. My father ordered the beef, he really enjoyed the sauce and rates the plate an 8/10. I got the vegan polenta, and WOWOWOWOW, that was the most stunning presentation of polenta I have ever seen. It was formed into triangles that were then crisped on all sides. It was stunning visually and just as delicious as it looked. They did have vegan dessert options but for once I did not explore. To summarize, this was a gorgeous dinner both in experience and food. I would go back to maine just for this, and I would have to drive ten hours. They were so accommodating with food allergies and dietary restrictions and I could not thank them enough.

Posh spot downtown. Several items can be made vegan. I always get the mezze platter, but tried the cauliflower dish for the first time and was impressed. I also got the fried rice pudding for dessert which was amazing. I only wish it was a bigger portion. Updated from previous review on 2021-12-05

This restaurant is spacious with ample seating. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we appreciated the clearly marked vegan options on the menu. We will definitely be returning, as we were unable to try the hummus on this visit due to ordering so many other tasty mezze plates.
