Delish - Edit
This place is huge with open and spread out seating. Everything we ordered was delicious. The menu clearly indicates vegan. We will be back- we didn’t even try the hummus because we ordered so many other mezze plates so we have to try it another time.

Amazing food and restaurant - Edit
The best baba ghanoush and pita bread I’ve ever had. I also got the potato pancakes and polenta which were amazing. Cocktails, the maineland, and cucumber limeaid were sooo good.

Great meal for a hot day - Edit
TIQA has a good selection of small plates that are vegan (falafel, hummus, olives, white beans). All the vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu. They have outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is quite nice. It is a bit more upscale than other Mediterranean options in town and would be great for a nice evening out. My husband and I ate here on a hot summer day and were delighted to enjoy cool cucumber slices smothered in delicious hummus and marinated olives.

BURY ME IN YOUR HUMMUS - Edit
Wow.
Read moreFirst 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 crap 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.

Delicious Mediterranean fare with good vegan choices - Edit
I had hummus and falafel. The falafel plate was from the small plate section. I loved the non-diary sauce sauce. The pita got the hummus was just ok and the hummus was very yummy.

Small Plates, Big Flavor - Edit
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.

Tons of Great Options! - Edit
All of the appetizers and most of the small plates are vegan! Only one vegan option for the main but it is delicious (veggie kabobs). Also offer rotating sorbet for dessert. The apps and small plates are all absolutely delicious! I didn’t feel limited at all. Everything is clearly marked on the menu.
