3.5 stars for chicken shawarma. 4.5 stars for service. Food: - The chicken shawarma was just ok. Nothing special.. not sure why other reviews were raving about it. Maybe I should have got the bowl. I like how they cut the wrap in half for you without having to ask though. - Friends got the baklava and said it was not good, "definitely a pass". Service: - There was a bit of a wait when I came around dinner time on a Thursday. But staff was super nice and friendly which felt nice. You can see them making your order through the glass barrier too which is kinda fun when you're waiting. - They have 2-3 small tables set up outside if you want to dine there. But we chose takeout. Overall the food here feels a bit Americanized (just my opinion), although not in a bad way. The setup reminds me of chipotle, but a Mediterranean version. Not sure if I'd come back, but if I do I'd pass on the chicken shawarma and opt for either the bowl or the take home wrap. read more

Yafa Hummus - Chicken Shawarma Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

This place was quite a disappointment. The wrap was pretty tasteless, nothing felt fresh. The sweets were way to sweet, no flavor. Parking is easy, place not busy as expected for average food it serves. read more

Delicious! THIS was exactly what I was craving without knowing it existed. The service was very helpful and friendly. Very welcoming from walking in. Got the shawarma fries, dolmas, tabouleh, rice bowl with falafel, hummus, and beans. Garlic sauce. It was so flavorful. Fresh. Large portions. The baklava ice cream was delish! Highly recommend!!! read more

Given the state of the world these days, opening up a new restaurant has got to be especially tough. I do think Yafa Hummus is well positioned to weather this storm and eventually thrive. We've been to the one in Tracy and were blown away by the exceptional food. The newly-open one in Dublin is every bit as excellent, in friendly service, cleanliness, and awesome food! It's basically make-your own wraps or bowls with chicken shawarma, gyros, or falafel. Then pile on your choice of two sides and sauce. Their baba ghanoush has a mild spicy kick, while their hummus is so smooth. Both the gyros and chicken are excellent - neither really require sauce. The brown rice option is healthier, and I especially liked how fluffy and puffy the rice was. A $10 bowl will keep you full since they also give you a generous helping of soft and chewy pita bread. 5-stars. Unsurpassed fast-casual Mediterranean in Dublin. Much better than Gotta Eatta Pita, Kebab Shop, Yalla, and yes, even my previous favorite Sajj Mediterranean. read more

It was my first time stopping in and it won't be my last. I literally had to stop eating to write this. The atmosphere was welcoming. The menu has many options allowing you to explore and make a variety of parings. I ordered a bowl with white rice, half chicken shawarma, falafel, side of spicy hummus, mediterranean salad with chilli sauce and tazatziki. From the very first bite - flavor on flavor on flavor! Check them out! You won't be disappointed. Don't be like me and forget to order pita chips ;) read more

Yafa Hummus - Bowl with rice, falafel/chicken shawarma, mediterranean salad, spicy hummus . Comes with pita & 2 sauces. - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

Love it by accident!!! We were going to another place and it was closed so we were just like 'let's go to this area and see what's there!' We decided to try this place out because it was new and we haven't had Mediterranean food for a while. You can pick from the menu they provide or you can make your own. The food was tasty and they gave you plenty of meat. read more

What a yummy meals we had at Yafa Hummus. We ordered take-out and everything was packed neatly, eco-responsibly, and correctly. We ordered falafel sliders which were so delicious that I wish I had ordered more than 3. We ordered a side of Baba Ghanoush which was good but a bit garlicky. I didn't get a picture of the Lentil soup but it was lemony and good. The hubs got the Chicken Shawarma and liked it. The prices are good. I'm happy we discovered it! read more

My second visit about half a year later and saw that they also opened a location in Livermore. Service was great - they made the chicken shawarma wrap and back home styled chicken shawarma in about 5-7 mins! The menu has expanded and now there's even a beef shawarma option available. Last time I couldn't tell which item I liked more (between the back home styled and wrap), but I think because of the veggies and condiments in the wrap, my brother and I prefer the wrap since there is more flavor. I also appreciate that the wrap is slightly grilled for added texture. A really solid place for shawarma! read more

Tried falafel it is amazing same like humose at dublin location my order was take out they have the order ready within minutes

What a tasty delight it was to have a quick dinner at Yafa this evening. We had the chicken shawarma and fries. I absolutely love the seasoning of the fries. I also had the blackberry soda which was delicious as well. The service was friendly and fast. We'll be back for more! read more

Came back this time with the family. As always, super friendly service. We had two bowls, a falafel, hummus and pita order, and three different baklavas. Falafel was made to order and the pesto hummus and spicy hummus got rave reviews. The workers even check at the end to see if you liked your order. read more

Recently visited Yafa Hummus to grab some fresh pita and hummus to use throughout the week for snacks. They're so nice and friendly! The pita pack was nice and fresh. The hummus was equally delicious. I also made use of the Yelp falafel check-in reward - hot and crispy falafels! Their price point is really reasonable if you're comparing grabbing these items from your local grocery store. I'd much rather prefer the fresh pita and hummus from here! read more

It is with a heavy heart, and only after much soul searching and reflection over several days, that I find myself leaving a review for Yafa. (I say that because I liked the people there but my review is pretty rough). Long story short, everything about this place is great -- except for the food, which is somewhere between way below average and bad. So, kind of a big exception. I am no stranger to middle eastern food, nor am I a foodie or a snob when it comes to restaurants. I love me some fast casual. I eat way too much Chipotle, and Panera for that matter. The reviews for this place, I think we can all agree, are stellar. I was psyched to try it while visiting the area. Everything about the non-food experience of this place was fabulous. You walk in, it looks nice, and it's clean, well-maintained, and attractive. The staff is great and friendly. I think the gentleman I ordered from, despite looking pretty young, had some kind of ownership stake in the business because he asked owner-type questions but in a very friendly way ("how did you find us?"). My companion was less familiar with the basic dishes and the guy was very genuinely helpful and patient and cool about explaining and making recommendations. Folks, the food just wasn't good. We both got bowls, though I also got a side of falafel and ended up with pita to dip. My bowl had chicken. There was hummus and baba involved. The meat was dry and overcooked. My companion complained of excess salt in everything. The hummus was fine, but unremarkable. Same for the falafel. The greens were kind of sad looking. Everything tasted bland, salty, and not particularly fresh in terms of quality of ingredients. The only thing I ate that I thought was average or above was the pita -- it was good. I wanted to like this place. It feels to me like a business school case study where someone very entrepreneurial totally crushed at building a model of a very successful franchise but skimped on the most important part -- does the food taste good? Their marketing, presentation, staff, etc. are all fantastic. I acknowledge my criticism of the food quality puts me in the minority on these reviews. I only decided to write this review because I feel pretty strongly about it. I dunno if these reviewers are folks who don't eat this kind of food regularly or what, but it's REMARKABLE how bad it was given the ratings. And, unfortunately, it didn't feel like "oh it was a bad night" type issues with the food. read more

Pretty disappointing falafel wrap. I might have tried a bowl or something, but the menu board specifically says that the wraps use lavash, which most places don't, so I went with the wrap. Imagine my disappointment when my wrap turned out to be made with a flour tortilla. Even more disappointing that it was dry and bland and had no sign of the eggplant that was supposed to be inside. read more

Totally loved the food here. Accidental discovery. Was walking towards the ever boring Panera bread but last minute decided to try Yafa hummus instead. Got lucky! Tried Spicy Hummus bowl with Gyro, bean salad, pita & the other bowl with chicken Shawarma, Mediterranean salad, tzaziki, babaganoush. They were rocking. The spicy hummus is very unique and tangy, loved it. Falafal balls were crunchy and delish. Highly recommend. Would love to visit again. Keep up the amazing flavors in the food read more

Service is good and the staff is very friendly. I really wish the portions and how much food you get for what you pay is improved. If you get the bowl, it's not filling for one person. You don't even get a piece of pita bread to go with it, you have to pay extra for that when your bowl is already $16. I got the chicken bowl and the chicken was chopped up really thinly and sprinkled on my bowl, there was more hummus than chicken. The chicken was also dry and overcooked from being sliced so thin. The base of rice is the thickest layer in the food. The gyro was a single gryo, again no rice or sides and it was also $16. When I think of Mediterranean food, I always imagine large portions and that's just not the case here. read more

Mmmmmm This place is so good and they give you a lot of food. Very very tasty. I got a bowl with white rice chicken shawarma spicy hummus & tabuleh. Their sauces are out of the park amazing. I like their ice cream too... Not too sweet with a few baklava crumbles on top. Will definitely be back! Amazing value. read more

Yafa Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

Yafa Hummus is the perfect combination of very consistent, super tasty food and friendly, engaging employees. The cuisine is simple and wonderful, made from three generations of family recipes. The bowls and wraps are all great, and completely customizable, but the star of the show is the lentil soup, imho. It's crazy good. Mohamed and the whole staff are very welcoming, and we are greeted by name whenever we're there, which keeps us coming back. (That, and the delicious items on the menu, of course) Highly recommended!! read more

I LOVE Yafa Hummus and I go all the time! I seriously can't believe I haven't written a review for them yet. Yafa Hummus has delicious and fresh Mediterranean food. I usually order on GrubHub to save time (and pick it up at the restaurant) but if you go to the restaurant and order there, you will get your food quickly. Most of the food is already made and just needs to be put together. The workers are all super friendly and helpful! As for the food, my order depends on my mood. I usually go back and forth between creating my own wrap or my own bowl (I put the same ingredients on both items). The food is always fresh and delicious. I said this before, but it's so true! They are also very consistent. I like that this restaurant is more authentic than many Mediterranean restaurants. You also get big portions for your meal, especially with the bowls. One of my favorite items on the menu is their hummus and I know that they take pride in their hummus. It is probably the best hummus that I have ever had and if you are a hummus lover like me, you may just need to order extra hummus and pita on the side. Anyway, I definitely recommend Yafa Hummus to anyone looking for delicious and quick Mediterranean food. Enjoy! Simona read more

Great food, however, after being the only person in there multiple times my orders takes over 30-40 mins long. I usually wait and ask why my order is taking long but this time I asked for a refund saw multiple people who came after me and ordered at the register get theirs before me. I was given all the excuses from phone orders , uber eats orders. I was order #5 and saw 7 and 8 leave right when I asked it was taking long. Excuses and long waits. Instead of communicating w the customer they got defensive. read more

A tasty, healthy, and friendly restaurant. Excellent spot for lunch or take out. Gyro meat was exceptional and they have authentic Greek salad (i.e., no lettuce). Quality of the produce was fresh and high-quality. I will definitely be back again. read more

Yafa Hummus - Gyro meat and chicken shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

Good food. Kinda like a Mediterranean chipotle. the chicken was juicy and well seasoned.

I was in the area running errands and randomly found this Mediterranean joint. The store is spotless clean and organized. Awesome customer service too. A nice young gentleman walked me through the options since it was my first time. I ended up getting hummus, babaganoush, cucumber salad to go, and sampler side sauces! Yum! A must try is their cashew and walnut baklavas! They're the best baklavas I've ever had! Can't wait to come back to try other dishes. read more

Yafa Hummus - Cool Vibes :) - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

We ordered the back home wrap and a chicken wrap, and it was just okay. Our chicken wrap was dry and overall, it just looked sad. And it was a sad experience eating it. Perhaps my review will go up once we try their other meats, or hummus, or baklava ice cream... but as for now, I'm not rushing back to go there. While the cashier was nice and friendly, I noticed that a few employees who were cooking our food wasn't wearing a mask. read more

Walked by this place once just when it was closing and I was so excited to come there and try the hummus. In my mind I was already hoping that this would be my go to place when I am in town and places with 'hummus' in their name create a high expectation that the hummus would be spectacular. Most Israeli people, myself included, have a very well defined view of how they like their hummus and what a good hummus should be. The "best hummus in Israel" debate is going on forever and will probably never be settled. So anyway, I ended up coming back for lunch and got a little disappointed. Everything, including the hummus, is ok but as much as I wanted to love this place, it just wasn't that exciting. Good option for some Middle Eastern dishes but as far as places with "hummus' in their name, I've seen better in the Bay Area (someone mentioned Oren?). read more

This place is amazing!! One of the best kitchen to eat are the ones you are able to see how they make your food , this place is clean and the employee's fallows the cleanliness requirements, the prices are affordable, this is one of my favorite places to get food during summer time . Keep up the good work YAFA . read more

Yafa Hummus - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

Food was OK but my single wrap took FOREVER (about 20 minutes). There are too many good options out there to even consider coming back. I've heard other comments about the slow service. Also, the vibe was weird - the two guys working clearly didn't like each other and you could feel it. It made it awkward to even eat inside. First and last time at Yafa Hummus. read more

This has been my return to office reward once a week for a few months now. The food is consistently good and I like the friendly guy at the front. I'm in here so much he knows me. I bring coworkers in too and they always love the food. For $15 the portions are really big and I always know what to expect. I also like that I can see all the food prep areas and it is very clean. They can be a bit slow during the lunch rush but I don't really mind. To get food faster order online and pick up. read more

Yafa Hummus - Hummus Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, California

Tried Yafa as we had a gift certificate, I had a spicy Gyro; wife had Chicken shawarma Bowl which came with Greek salad, spicy hummus, We ordered at the counter to go. Bowl was good size and served very warm. Gyro was also good temperature. The spice level of gyro was good maybe a 1.5/5. The only thing additional I would like is some cucumber or salad in the gyro. Wife enjoyed the chicken bowl except the Greek salad was too strong in olive flavor for her. I thought the Greek salad was good. read more

4.5 stars. Hubby picked-up dinner from Yafa Hummus and the food was delicious! This was not our usual go-to place, but we still enjoyed a number of the dishes and would go back again. What we ordered: - Chicken Shawarma Wrap: Hubby said it was tasty, fresh, and he'd order it again. I'm limited on what ingredients I can eat right now, but he ordered as is (meat, spring mix, cucumbers, tomatoes, and garlic sauce) and said it was on point. - Back Home Wrap: This wrap was for me and it was nicely grilled. I also liked that it was cut into bite-sized pieces. The Chicken Shawarma and pickles (I requested no garlic sauce) had good flavor, but was slightly on the saltier side. - Chicken Shawarma Bowl: Only tried a little bit of this, but the chicken with the white rice was pretty awesome. The rice was on the drier side but I didn't mind it at all as all of the infused flavors paired well with the chicken and bean salad. I requested the Tzatziki on the side and it was perfectly creamy, herby, and just what was needed with this dish. - Dolmas: These were OK, but not the best we've ever had. They were on the tangier side. Customer service was friendly. I loved that they were able to accommodate any special requests we had. They have a GrubHub link to order takeout on their website. Food was ready when promised and all was freshly made. read more

I ordered take out from them last night. It was pretty good. The lentil soup was a little bit different from what I was expecting. It was a little on the bitter side.
