    The food was delicious! We went for brunch and ordered about half the things on the menu and wished we could have ordered everything. The smoked pastrami, radicio salad and the cornbread were particularly special. Can't wait to go back to check out their dinner menu.

    Family-style dining at it's best. All dishes go with all others, so you really can't go wrong in your menu choices. And the pita bread is probably the best I've ever had.

    Excellent service and ambiance. Our server was prompt and helpful in making selections. We ordered 5 dishes for 3 people, each being delivered as they were prepared (tapas style). All the food was excellently prepared. We shall return.

    Yalla is a consistently wonderful experience. You always go back for the quality of food, ambiance, and service. Don’t miss the hummus with beef tips.
