"Collectively owned by its employees, this vegan pop-up turned restaurant on Belmont made a splash in Portland with Sri Lankan plates and street eats, including spicy pigeon pea fritters and curried jackfruit potato croquettes. Available as a plate or family-style meal, the rice and curry plate, with ever changing sides and relishes like deviled potatoes and coconut sambol, is the heart of Mirisata’s menu. The stuffed route are always a hit, especially the ones including NoPo’s “Pizza Creature” melty cashew cheese. The restaurant also serves Sri Lankan Chinese dishes, like deviled soy curl “pork” stir-fried with chunks of banana pepper, served over fried rice." - Anastasia Sloan
