TIA DORA

A neighborhood gem specializing in elevated Middle Eastern street food, Tia Dora is a casual and cozy culinary force. From hummus and veggies, to creamy pastas and savory meats, to one of the best salmon dishes I’ve ever had, this small but mighty restaurant delivers some of the most colorful, flavorful and delicious Mediterranean fare. Opt to dine in and enjoy a selection of crisp cocktails and delightful wines with your meal in its quaint dining room upstairs, or order for takeout with an easy pickup at the counter. Plus, there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options if needed, many of which are some of my favorite menu items.
