Oasis - PISMO BEACH

We were thrilled to discover this gem in Pismo Beach. From the appetizers to the tangine entrées, we thoroughly enjoyed every dish. Although they do not offer wine, they allow you to bring your own without any corkage fee. This will definitely become a regular dining spot for us.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegan dishes, both on and off the menu, such as tagine, couscous, spicy vegetable curry, eggplant, and chickpeas. I am a frequent visitor because the food is outstanding, and I have tried all of the vegan options. While all of the dishes are excellent, the standout for me is the Tagine de Atlas, which has fantastic spices and is served with Moroccan lentil soup, saffron rice, and Berber bread.

I ordered takeaway and was impressed with how beautiful the restaurant looked. It reminded me of being in Morocco. The server was warm and welcoming and even gave me Moroccan mint tea while I waited for my orders. I ordered the Spicy Vegan Rarghifat and the Vegetarian Sampler (minus the feta cheese). Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The rarghifat was very flavourful, although very spicy. The dolmas were huge and filling, the bread and hummus divine. Next time, I will definitely dine in here! Updated from previous review on 2021-07-21

We had the vegetarian sampler (without the feta) and Couscous Royal. We split both and because the Couscous came with lentil soup, we had enough leftovers for another meal. The spices made the meal. It had a bit more oil and salt than I use, but I think most wouldn't notice. I overheard the server/owner? tell someone you can bring your own beer/wine without being charged a cork fee.

There are plenty of vegan options at this restaurant, clearly labeled and bursting with vibrant and delicious flavors.
