    Second time here. It’s a great experience. Great quality and variety of food. Fried chicken is excellent, as is the steak, cornbread, radicchio salad, and hummus. Great vibe. Very relaxed and great service.

    The food at Yalla was all delicious, the hummus with burnt ends and radicchio salad to start were so incredibly flavorful. The short ribs, skewers and delicate squash were all wonderful. Cocktails were well made and good wine as well. This place does not disappoint, so lucky to have it so close to home!!!

    The food was fantastic. We had Negronis which were probably the best we’ve had. We had the radicchio salad which is always great. We also had hummus with burnt beef ends which is my favorite thing on the menu-pita bread is soooo good. And we had the salmon which was perfectly cooked and the lamb skewer which was also exceptional. The food is consistently great every time.

    Loved the ambiance, loved 2 of the dishes (shish kabobs), disappointed in 2 others (Sugo). So, hit and miss. Had a warm, old world feel. Definitely going back.

    Delicious place for a dinner meeting. I had the Bulgarian kebab, my friend had the sugo. (I think mine was tastier.) I also had an insanely good mocktail, with Wilderton aperitivo. The outdoor patio (really more of a cave on stilts) was colder than usual. On this very cold night the heaters were challenged to keep up. But it was great to be there!
