Portland Monthly pick for Best Restaurants in fall 2020. Popular both for takeout and for meals on its covered outdoor patio, Oma s Takeaway specialized in the much-loved Malaysian national dish: nasi lemak, coconut-clove rice with accoutrements like peanuts, candied anchovies, and a fried egg.Â

Omaâs Takeaway went on hiatus in late January due to a private emergency, but the Pisha-Dufflys decided to use this break as an opportunity to transform Omaâs into the restaurant they wanted it to become. When they first moved into the Whiskey Soda Lounge space, the couple didnât have the time or money to renovate a space that likely wouldnât see any customers dining indoors for a while. Now, with an established customer base and the possibility of safer indoor dining on the horizon, theyâre ready to make changes, all under the new name of Omaâs Hideaway.
