Hula's Modern Tiki, Phoenix, AZ



Hula's Modern Tiki

Hula's Modern Tiki is a cute little bar and restaurant in uptown Phoenix, conveniently located off the lightrail. They're vegan friendly, and when I ordered, the super-friendly waitress was very well informed on what items could be easily veganized. I considered ordering some kind of encrusted tofu, the Spicy Tofu Tacos, the Jungle Tofu Bowl, or the Big Sur Black Bean Burger; the tacos, bowl, and the veggie burger I've heard are amazing (without modifications). Those were pretty much the veganizable options. I settled for the Jungle Tofu Bowl since it required the least modifications to make it vegan.

  

Jerk Tofu Bowl Served

The Jungle Tofu Bowl in all its glory; fried tofu, jungle curry sauce, fried sweet plantains on top of beans, rice, and a cabbage mix. This dish was delicious. The jungle curry sauce was not too spicy and the combination of flavors and textures really worked; the whole thing was quite filling and satisfying.

 



Jungle Tofu Bowl Mixed & Half-Eaten

We didn't get drinks during this visit and I don't know what liquor on their menu is vegan, but I'm sure they have some lovely fruity concoctions. They didn't have any vegan desserts on the menu, but the waitress did tell me that that the little place next door, Twirl Frozen Yogurt, served vegan sorbet. Good to know!

Ultimately, this is a great place to go a night downtown, when cruising the lightrail, and especially when you have a mixed party of omnivores and vegans.
