I greatly enjoyed dining at TIQA and look forward to going back soon. I particularly appreciate that most of the menu is gluten-free, and that there are many creative options. Much of the food is very tasty and reasonably priced. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons, the lamb dinner was quite expensive and was good, but not great, and the mocktail selection isn't very impressive. I do highly recommend this restaurant.
TIQAResponded on June 7, 2025
Appreciate the kind review and we will work to improve the lamb and mocktail. Look forward to hosting you again soon. Sincerely, Deen

This was our second time here and we brought friends with us. excellent service, drinks and ambience. We had a great time! The Chicken Sumac is something I think about when I am not there, its the best and most uniquely flavored chicken I have had. We had lots of shareable Mezze and everyone was pleased. really like this venue!
