Best Vegan Restaurants in Southwest Portland

An absolutely fabulous dining experience. The chef Jaco Smith is wonderful and has a wonderful menu and service that is more than excellent. Highly recommended when in Portland!

Dinner was amazing! Staff was amazing! They decorated the table for my niece’s birthday, gave us a picture and overall were pleasant humans. 10/10

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

Absolutely loved our experience here! Amazing food! Amazing drink! Amazing dessert! And awesome waitress. Thank you Nicole for serving us so well and helping us. Will be back! Best spot for dinner in Oregon.

this is our favorite Portland restaurant. The very best. Food is always amazing and the staff is wonderful. Friendly, while being completely professional , knowledgeable, about the food and wine and very helpful. Couldn’t recommend it more.
