    I came to this establishment a couple of weeks ago but they were closed for Ramadan. Today I got the same craving and made my way back for takeout. Located off of Lanza Avenue in Garfield since 2016, this cozy Palestinian-owned restaurant, Al-Yamama Grill Shawarma Kebab was luckily open serving Mediterranean cuisine. Upon arrival, you'll start craving all the food from the pictures hanging wall. Greeted by Karim who's the owner/chef, he made my falafel plate to order consisting of 6 sizable falafel, rice, salad, 2 pitas and small white Tahini sauce. The falafel were made fresh, well seasoned and tasted deliciously. The rice was okay. The portion is huge so if you're up for sharing and a light eater, split 1 by 2 people. The price is reasonable and the service friendly. I can recommend this place.

    This food came with salad, babaganoush, hummus, white sauce, hot sauce, and a lot of pita!

    My husband and I ordered catering from Al Yamama grill for my father-in-law's birthday. Look no further for catering! I cannot recommend this place more highly! Karim was so patient over the phone when he explained the catering package to me. He was extremely accomodating when I asked for a substitution. He even sent a picture of a previous order he had made for me to better understand the portion. The food was fantastic. Amazing value for the portion, quality, presentation, and hospitality. We will be back! Thank you so much, Karim!

    Due to pandemic,we strictly practice social distancing.In celebration to my daughter's birthday I wanted to surprise her send food for her birthday.Since she's away from us I don't want her prepare much at her end.This Al Yamama Grill I found in Yelp while I did my search near my daughter's place and they accept delivery.To my surprise,the owner whom I talk to over the phone when I did my inquiries and made my order was too accommodating.So I made it a try.They delivered the food on time for lunch and my daughter was surprised it was a kind of feast.I'm pretty sure the food was so delectable.They love the whole package.Thank you Yamama Grill for this sumptuous 7-8 people catering service you have that it's more than I expected .God bless you more on your business because you're so kind person and I can feel it.My sincerest review.

    My meal this time was rushed. Delivery took 2 hours probably cuz it was busy. I ordered from here before and can tell a difference. It was more dry, bigger messy chunks. Food was mediocre and their definition of gyro platter is flawed. The so called gyro was thick dry chunks of steak for the gyro platter

    This was my first trip at the restaurant, the food was delicious! This spot is a hidden gem. Will definitely be back.

    The food was delicious. The hummus was home made and the Shish Kebabs were tender and cooked perfect. I can wait to go back for more.

    Very disappointed to see that despite a sign saying "Open Until 10pm" they are closed.

    Just came on a road trip and although their site and sign says they are open until 10pm, they are dark and closed up at 8:45pm. Very disappointed in this business.

    This place is seriously so good! The food is made to order and with such care. The owner is such a nice guy who really cares about his customers. If you've never had this kind of food before, try the Al Yamama platter because they give you a little bit of everything. The kebabs are the best I've ever had and they don't skimp with the rice. I come here at least once a week for the hummus alone because it's delicious. This place is quaint so you can come in for dinner or take your order to go- they package it so it all stays fresh. This place is delicious.

    The best!!!

    We ordered a whole range of things including chicken kebab, chicken gyro, tahini cauliflower,…read morelabneh, and hummus. Everything was delicious, but I'll leave the food writing to the Yelpers with more sophisticated palates than I. (Actually, I take that back--the fresh-baked pita was amazing and I would eat it with/for every meal if I could.) The real reason I wanted to leave a review the service, which went above and beyond. Let me start by saying that Al Basha takeout has a wonderfully efficient order-number-based system for managing the hundreds of orders they get on a daily basis. But if, say, the person who placed the order sent you to pick up the food with the wrong order number, you're going to struggle, and that's not the restaurant's fault. With that prelude and without getting into the details, we'll just say there was a user error issue with my order that led to a mix-up and a very late pick-up. Everyone from the Al Basha staff with whom I interacted could not have handled it any better. They were very apologetic, not because they did anything wrong (to be clear, they didn't), but because they were disappointed our meal hadn't gone well and wanted to fix that. The top priority of the manager with whom I dealt was making sure that my wife--it was Mothers' Day--got the best meal possible, and made sure to send me home with fresh bread and a treat for the moms. It was true hospitality, and greatly appreciated. TLDR version: great food, excellent service, out-of-this-world pita, and make darned sure you have the right order number.

    So good and honestly always packed but moving like a well oiled machine. They seat you quickly,…read morebring out some pickled foods and bread and take your order asap.

They were very soft and good but could be better in terms of flavor. The chicken tikka was too salty. The bread is delicious and fresh. The fries were delicious and comes with a interesting turmeric/mustard type sauce. The pickled vegetables are an acquired taste; very salty. The quzi is lamb shank with rice and comes with either bean or okra soup. I liked the okra soup better since it had some acidity from the tomatoes. The lamb shank was very tender but I wish it came with some sauce or lemon. The rice is a bit sweet due to the rasins. The prices are a bit high but there are not many Iraqi restaurants in the region.

Food was delicious, you could tell it was made to order and meat and chicken were very juicy.The hookah server was very attentive and came to check on it regularly.

We get seated, place our order, and roughly 40 minutes have gone by. We are wondering what is taking so long. I see a server walking towards us with what looks like the food we ordered. But he places the 2 plates of food on the table beside us, the table who came about 25-30 minutes after us. The couple at the table make a comment of whether they ordered that food, but the server still walks away. In the meantime, their children at that table immediately dig into the food left in front of them. A few minutes later, the server realizes his mistake and comes back trying to fix his mistake. Of course, at that point, we don't want food that's already been touched. The manager comes over, he asks us to wait again while they remake our food. At this point, we are being asked to wait over an hour for our food, the least they could've done is offered even the smallest discount, but they didn't. I understand we're all human and mistakes can happen. But after turning our experience into a disaster, the least they could've done is offered to comp even a part of our meal. They did not, we left very disappointed and mind you this was Mother's Day.

    We went here on Saturday night around 8 pm. Placed an order, and order came out shortly after…read more Chicken was good ( although i confirmed several times that i wanted 1.5 chickens a medium spice and 1/2 chicken mild, he did 1 chicken medium and 1 mild, but we didnt care and just added more sauce). I went to the counter and requested they bring sauces with the food but the person at the register said to please just take it myself because they are busy :/. Then we got the perimayo corn, literally a drizzle of peri mayo with boiled corn under. We had to request more sauce, and mix ourself. Lastly we got the salad ( tribos) and seeing it was $8 i assumed it would be a nice salad. Literally a basic salad made with ice berg, and a few kalamata olives on top wish i got a picture because it was such an unfortunate salad. Ive had their salad before and its been good . Anyways -overall chicken and rice 9/10 Customer service and sides/salads need work for sure. Them being busy should not ever be on the customers cost and im always very generous with my reviews. But if you are giving a tip option, there should be some service involved i think.
