    The food was outstanding, the waitstaff attentive and helpful but not overbearing. It was quiet enough that conversation was easy.

    We have been coming to Yalla annually since they opened for our Anniversary. This year there has been a definite change from small plates to more meal size. As always the food was amazing. My husband thought this was the best yet.

    Blew any expectations out of the water. The food was so yummy, dynamic, and flavorful. We really appreciated the roasted cauliflower, cornbread, and the pastrami collectively blew all our socks off. Perfect date night or sit down dinner spotnfor any occasion. Will be back asap to try brunch out

    Consistently top notch. Our group loved the creamy hummus with burnt ends and poblano, cedar planked salmon, fennel apple salad, squash dip with rose petal harissa, and the fluffiest pita bread. All were boldly flavored and outstanding. It’s a beautiful, cozy space as well. Wound up the evening with a wonderfully sweet and fragrant Turkish coffee. Perfect vibe inside for a chilly autumn night or enjoy the patio in the summer. Thank you, Yalla!
