We popped in to Ya Hala randomly after having to run a few errands in the area. There was ample…read morestreet parking so we were in no rush. The owner, Sal, came over to our table while we scanned the menus and introduced himself. He gave us a complimentary taco each and said "these are the best tacos you've ever had." I loved the confidence and I loved that he was right. It was love at first bite. We ordered a quesadilla, a chicken salad, a plate of fries, more tacos and a gyro (assuming we would be taking most of it home and eating it for dinner over the week) The quesadilla & gyro were delicious and fresh. They were still tasty as leftovers 2 days later. I wasn't crazy about the salad but that's probably my fault. Ya Hala does comfort junk food - this is not the time to be calorie-conscious. Sal checked in on us a number of times while we were eating. The restaurant is a small hole-in-the-wall with a few booths and a bathroom. I assume most of their business comes from people doing take out at the end of their work day. If I lived or worked closer, I would be a regular customer here. In the end, Sal packed our food in to-go boxes and gave us a free gyro as a surprise. At some point during dinner, my husband mentioned I was Yelp Elite. In the interest of full disclosure, at no point did Sal ask me to leave a favorable review or use his free food as a bargaining chip. This review is done without taking the free gyro into consideration.

When I used to work in Brooklyn there was a falafel cart that had the best falafel I'd ever had…read more Since then I've tried various falafel places and I've made them a few times at home. Nothing has come close. When I come to a decent sized city I look out for good restaurants to try. I was excited to see how the falafel was at Mazadar. Walking in I was greeted by friendly staff. There was a casual atmosphere. The felafel was the best I've ever had. I've had felafel all over the world in authentic restaurants. This was the best. From the bread to the balls to the salads to the sauces. Pure perfection. Everything was so fresh and so delicious.

The young lady at the counter helped guide me through their menu options and made sure that I selected an option that would be best for my dietary preferences. Pro tip - the brown rice is cooked with chicken stock so if you're vegetarian, go for the regular white rice. I ended up with the falafel bowl and added most of their veggie toppings as well as the tahini sauce, hot sauce, and a lemon vinaigrette sauce. Sauce me up. The serving size was generous and everything tasted fresh. Just what I needed to fuel the rest of the day's adventures.

Excellent! Don't miss this place! Wow! The food is so fresh and so good, so many fresh flavors! I…read moregot the chicken kebab bowl. Chicken meat was moist even without white sauce. They don't drown it in white sauce unless you want it that way. The brown rice was flavored so well! You can choose white or brown. They give you all the toppings you want and they're all fresh, high quality. There are so many tangy, delicious flavors all together! Chicken is grilled fresh, so you have a 10-15 min wait, but I like that rather than premade chicken. It's a quiet, clean, peaceful restaurant with plenty of seating. Smells clean. They're very popular. People come to eat or for takeout. But you wouldn't know. Service was perfect! Shri was fast, efficient, so respectful, asking everyone how they like the food. She really welcomed me and every customer. I wish all people at such places were like her! Generous with servings and respectful, she looked like she really wants you to enjoy and come back! They have lamb chops, salmon, shrimp kebabs, all sort of Mediterranean foods. They won't skimp on toppings. You'll be full and want to return! Highly recommend!

There's great ambiance in the booths and tables, to sit in the corner for privacy, room for groups, a welcoming bar, and even a few nice tables out front (albeit in the parking lot, but still more than most places can say). The cocktails also aren't bad and the Thai food is great. Sushi has been enjoyable too. Last night we did pick up, and the pad see u was saucy and delicious and ready in 15 min. Special shout out for the mango sticky rice - mango was *actually* ripe. Which is exciting if you're frequently let down by under ripe mangos.
