    Beef Kabab Chicken Kabab
    Sarika V.

    this place was great! a friend of mine got our food to-go but the food was amazing! We tried the beef and chicken specially, I love the beef because it wasn't too fatty and the perfect amount of tenderness. Service was fast per my friend. Would definitely check it out if you in the area.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Laura Q.

    The smell when we walked in sold us. We got chicken shawarma plate and it was delicious. We also got pita with hummus and a baklava dessert. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The restaurant was clean and looked beautiful with nice decor. The food came out quick. This place is definitely worth a visit.

    Restaurant is clean , food is very good , the meat is very tender and tasty Staff is very kind! When they took a bit long to get our food, the owner gave us complementary baklava:)

    Yafa Grill is amazing. The food was so incredible and flavorful. Don't sleep on the dessert, I wish I would have gotten more than two to go. The staff are super friendly, attentive and helpful. I was even asked if I had any allergies. The Restaurant was clean and smelled really good. I don't venture to Blackstone very often but this is definitely a spot that I plan to frequent.

    Spicy chicken kabob plate
    Nick S.

    Traveling home from Yosemite and we had a tire issues and were forced to pit stop in Fresno. The manager at American Tire Depot highly recommend Yafa Grill, and in particular the spicy chicken. Expect to spend $20 per person but the food is great. Would eat here again if I found myself in Fresno.

    First time here. We had to get something close by and this hit the spot. We were greeted and asked if it was for here or to-go. We said for here and they told us to take a sit and someone would be with us to take our order. Place was very clean and their menu is a good size. They have lunch and dinner specials. I ordered the chicken kebab plate and it came with chicken, hummus, garlic sauce, rice, veggies, and a pita bread. I will say it was only 6 cubed pieces of chicken but I'm sure it's due to it being the lunch plate. The pita and hummus were okay, and everything else was good. I liked that the salad had cut pieces of pickles and the wax peppers. My boyfriend ordered the shawarma arabi plate (beef) which came with rice, salad, fries, and a fountain drink. The beef was tender very good. You get a good amount of food for the price. Our server was attentive and nice.

    Lamb Kabab
    Marc W.

    My wife ordered the lamb kebab rare and it actually came rare! I got the Kafka sandwich and it was quite tasty, chock full of onions and meat. I've never had pickles in a Mediterranean sandwich, but I liked it. Everything tasted great, so we will be back! Service was good too.

    Love the flavor of the chicken kabob here, doesn't even need the galic sauce but it's also super yummy. Always friendly service and the place is clean, like they bleach everything everyday clean. I ordered late one time and saw the cleaning ritual in action. Pic shown is 2 skewers comes with bell pepper/onion all perfectly cooked every time, there full plate comes with 4. I love that you can order a single skewer or 2, sometimes I just want the meat. But the rice, hummus and lil salad on the full plate is fabulous when you have that type of appetite. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic flavors :)

    I would give this place 6 stars but they can never get our order right. This is our 8th time having their food and they messed up AGAIN. $57 for two people to have dinner.. insane.. wouldn't mind paying that if it were made right. Consistency is key in owning a restaurant and they are just not consistent at all Asked for extra pita chips and was charged for a huge side when I just said extra for my Fatoush salad, then asked for a side of rice pilaf and got a huge bowl.

    Combo Kabab with salad, rice and pita bread.

    Stopped in for lunch and ordered a combo plate and a chicken fava pita sandwich. Waitress was nice and checked on us a few times. Took a little bit to get our food but was worth it.

    Beef Shawarma Plate
    Ashley Q.

    This is my favorite place in all of Fresno. My go-to spot if I want a hearty meal. Even when I am not craving anything in particular, their chicken shawarma plate will always satiates me. The hummus and garlic sauce is to dieeeee for. Their rice and chicken is so wonderfully seasoned. I've tried their beef shawarma plate once since they were out of the chicken, wasn't my favorite but still good! I always call ahead of time for pick up and it is ready in 10-15 minutes. The people here are so helpful. I, for sure, need to dine in and try their lamb chops next time.

    Partly devoured chicken kebab plate
    Barbara P.

    Th family came here for lunch the other day and everyone e loved their choice. This is a small, unassuming, very casual place on Blackstone, and unless I'd heard about it, I probably wouldn't have ever noticed it there. But I'm glad we'd heard about the good reviews and gave it a try. The service was very fast, warm, and friendly. The server took our orders promptly and the food came out really fast too. Everyone loved the bread, which was thinner than regular pita bread. One of us got chicken shawarma, which was excellent, with rice, salad, hummus and bread. One of us got lamb, and he was really happy with that. One of us got a beef dish which was wrapped in this bread but in pieces -- it wasn't a regular "wrap" as I've come to expect and I wish I had remembered the name of the dish. It came with some very fresh/crispy crinkle fries. And I was in the mood for a chicken kebab plate -- like the shawarma, it came with the same sides. It also came with a good serving of delicious garlic sauce. I was so hungry I ate several bites before my husband reminded me I hadn't taken a photo. Oops. Everyone else was already eating too. But I got one photo of my partially eaten kebab plate - sorry for the wonky photo. But let's just call it a testament to how delicious it looked (and how delicious it actually was) that my Yelp reviewer hat flew out the window once I saw the food. Prices were good too. We'll definitely be back.

    Chicken schwarma wrap
    Julianne G.

    Nice clean new inside with booths to sit. You actually sit and be waited on if you eat there. Service was great and friendly. I ordered a chicken schwarma wrap because of the other reviews on here. My friend ordered a salad bowl with chicken and garlic sauce on top. My wrap was decent with a good amount of meat for the price. Kinda wish it had more tomato and veggies though. You could probably ask to have more put on. The pickles inside were good. My friend said her bowl was good. The garlic sauce she said didn't really taste garlicky, but she said it was good nonetheless. All in all, decent price for a lunch if you are close by. I would definitely try something different if I go again.

    I've been wanting to try this place for sometime. It's inside the iconic Peacock market. When my…read morefriend and I got there, it was in the afternoon at about 130 on a Sunday. I wasn't sure if they were still open even though one Yelp it said that they were because when we walked to the back all the chairs were stacked up on the tables already. There was a group of people enjoying their coffee and when I went up to the counter, they said they were still open. They have a very large menu and can seem to customize pretty much anything you want including coffees and Red Bulls. The guy helping me was super nice and had a few suggestions based off of what I like. He recommended the mint chip, which I'm excited to see on the menu because those are usually seasonal and a lot of coffee spots. I enjoyed my mint chip drink which I was able to customize with oat milk and no whip cream. It wasn't too strong, but strong enough, and I really enjoyed the mint taste infused with the chocolate. My friend really liked her drink, which was an Horchata latte. We both said we would return.

    You need to try the punch in the face latte ! It's sooooo delicious! It has Irish cream, it's not…read moretoo sweet, just get a straw to mix. The other fave drink was the pistachio iced latte, wow so good! The barista was very friendly and she drew cute pumpkins on our cups. Definitely going back!
