Tasty Tex Mex - Edit
Very welcoming restaurant with a good atmosphere and separate vegan menu.
Read moreI've visited twice, enjoying the Tia's Rose, the garlic bread vegan cheese, enchiladas and the Mexican Platter, which was a mini enchilada and a mini chimichanga served with Mexican rice.
There were no vegan desserts listed on the menu though, which was a shame.

Absolutely beautiful - Edit
LOVED the vegan menu and found it really hard to choose just one thing, so obviously got a starter and a main. The onion blossom is divine and the chimichanga is so delicious. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Texmex feat lethal margs - Edit
Tia's not only has a separate vegan menu with several starters and mains, but is the perfect place to come if you have allergies or intolerances - it's really taken seriously. Not sure about desserts as I'm always too full and after 10 years plus of visiting, I've never been ready to face a dessert here! The staff are second to none and the atmosphere is always good fun. Perfect for all.

Should have tried Tia's sooner - Edit
I also had the DIY wraps with refried beans and chunky aubergines. They came with a bed of salad, sun-dried tomatoes, lime wedges and a pickle. This one course was all I could manage. Friendly staff who gave the impression they were happy to be there: Tia's really is a good mood place. #Veganuary

Mexican food with great vegan options - Edit
A lovely little independent restaurant in Durham close to the Gala Theatre. We went for a nice cosy family meal and I was pleased with the options available to me. I ordered the onion rose with Peppa dip…really good😄

Amazing vegan options - Edit
Tia’s has its own vegan menu, making it very easy to choose. And there is loads of choice!
Read moreMy husband got the DIY taco board with the crispy aubergines. Delicious. I got the vegan enchiladas and it was so good I’ve been trying to perfect a recipe at home.
The cocktails and mocktails are fabulous and very cheap: £4.50 for a cocktail!
Tias is my absolute favourite restaurant in Durham.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Stand alone vegan menu, Great cheap cocktails
Cons: Small inside so book!

They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of options and portions are big. They also have vegan ice cream which wasn’t on the menu (the pistachio flavour is v good).

Nice but menu never changes - Edit
Tias is a place I used to get excited about going to, but in the past five years at least there’s not been any changes to the vegan menu. Everything is ok but not spectacular. I like that they use cheezly. It would be nice if they could offer some new fillings for their enchiladas or different pizza toppings.

Tia's Vegan menu - Edit
I visited Tia's for the first time tonight, thanks to some positive reviews for it's vegan menu, attending with my partner who certainly isn't vegan or vegetarian.
Read moreI was very pleasantly surprised at the wide choice of starters (7) and main courses (7) plus a choice of sides (again 7), which came on a separate vegan menu. Vegan friendly tortillas and dip were provided on each table.
I chose a garlic bread with vegan cheese for the starter which was both very tasty and plentiful. For the main course, I chose a vegetable enchilada, with an included side of fries, which was again very tasty and came with an artistically well prepared salad.
I knew from reviews that there wasn't a vegan dessert menu, however I was pleasantly informed that they had an off the published menu option of a vegan strudel with a creamy vegan ice-cream. To be honest, this was the best of all the courses and worth coming for that alone.
All told, an excellent experience and moderately priced. A nice quiet and pleasant environment (we went midweek, and there were about half a dozen other couples dining) but I would imagine that would increase significantly during the university term-time.
The only suggestion I would have for the owners, would be to have vegan options permanently on the dessert menu, and to highlight vegan drinks (some are obvious though), perhaps on the vegan menu.
By the way, my meat eating partner really enjoyed his jalapeno poppers starter, and hanging steak kebab too.
Pros: Choice of vegan courses, Excellent service, Apparently they do take away
Cons: Could really do with vegan marked wine/drinks

Great service, tasty food! - Edit
We were immediately asked if we needed a gluten-free or vegan menu, which was much appreciated. Both the vegan and non-vegan options arrived promptly and were very tasty. Affordable vegan food, friendly and accommodating staff and nice environment - what more could you ask for... Deliciousness? Check! Great drinks list? Check! (Though it would be helpful to know if they're vegan or not.) Also, some vegan dessert would be nice (please..?) Overall, great place - I'm definitely going back soon!

Great service, value for money and tasty food and would definitely go back again.
I would give this restaurant a 5 star overall rating, but Happy Cow only allow 4 due to meat being served in the restaurant.

Amazing - Edit
We went for happy hour and had the vegan cheesy garlic bread, vegan pizza and chimichanga with salsa and guacamole. It was so good, perfect vegan junk food...such a treat. It's hard to find places that do vegan cheese I think so finding this was a nice surprise. We just went in and asked for the vegan menu. The staff were really lovely and welcoming, they even let is know that the mints were vegan given with the bill without is asking. Also we got complimentary salads and tortilla chips. Would really recommend, can't wait to go back for that cheesy garlic bread!

Nice restaurant, good choice - Edit
This restaurant is extremely popular and you can see why. It's friendly, welcoming and has great choice including a vegan and gluten free menu. I wanted to love this place as it's the first time pizza has appeared on a menu since becoming vegan a couple of months ago, but somehow the food didn't set my world on fire. I had the chimichanga with vegetables and vegan cheese, which was nice but not amazing. I'm pretty sure there was honey mustard dressing on the side salad too, which would obviously offend strict vegans. My friend had vegetarian kebabs which looked great and she enjoyed them apart from the under cooked aubergine (no one likes under cooked aubergine, right?). Worth a visit but Jumping Bean Cafe in Durham was more to my personal tastes for vegan options.
Read morePros: Friendly, Good choice, Good value

great for vegetarians and vegans - Edit
Tia's has many vegetarian options and also a separate full vegan menu with many options. The food is both great quality and value for money. The staff are really friendly and make you feel very welcome. This is definitely the best option for vegans and vegetarians in Durham. I would really recommend going there to eat if you are visiting Durham!
