    Shawarma Fries with chicken
    Jessica G.

    Quality ingredients you can taste! First time here and wish there were more in the Bay, or at least a location closer to my home. I love Mediterranean food and this "fast casual" restaurant was better than I expected. They pack on the protein too, not skimpy at all. I ordered the chicken shawarma fries, a beef/lamb gyro and combo chicken/ gyro bowl with half rice/ salad and spicy hummus. Packed with flavor, fresh veggies and their sauces are equally delicious! If they were closer to me I would it here multiple times a week! Place was clean and welcoming, was greeted as soon as I walked in. Found my new fav Mediterranean spot when in Livermore.

    Order here!

    We ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl and the Falafel supreme. Both were ok . Nothing to standout . The staff was friendly and ready to assist anything we wanted. Since it was around 10 am, they were open but the place was desolate and we did not see anyone come in for the new b'fast items they were serving. But place looked clean and with ample seatings inside with gender neutral restroom at the end of the establishment.

    I didn't even know this restaurant existed until today. I came here with my wife to try it out and was immediately greeted by a young gentleman who promptly took our order. The prices are reasonable and everything smelled good. My wife and I ordered the gyro pita. I asked for grilled onions in mine and she ordered hers without onions. The food came out quickly and was freshly prepared. The pita was perfectly grilled and there was plenty of delicious meat inside. Looking back, I probably should have skipped out on the onions, but it was worth the try. I would probably ask for more tomato and cucumbers if I ordered this again. Next time, I'm excited to try their chicken shawarma wrap. The lavash bread looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. The restaurant is clean and attractive and I will definitely come back here again. My wife ordered the Turkish delight (mango and pistachio) and loved how fruity it was. Try this restaurant if you're in the area - great fast casual Mediterranean food at reasonable prices!

    As someone who has eaten Middle Eastern food my entire life thus far, AH, can tell you that I have become quite picky about my falafels, my hummus, the spices, the bread, the sauces, the freshness of the produce, etc. etc. I can also tell you that walking into this restaurant, I immediately started to get so hungry, which really doesn't ever happen, as lately the M.E spots I've tried have been good, but not as DROOL WORTHY! and the longer I waited to eat the more it was driving me crazy lol Honestly, the scent in the air was so wonderful. You could smell the sumac, the parsley, the herbs and spices in the air. ( Here's a little secret that I've learned from knowing a lot of restaurant owners and their practices- too many restaurants do not use real spices and herbs. They just use food coloring and cheap oils. too many restaurants tell me that they would not eat the food that they serve to others in their restaurants! ) that is not the case here This is real food. This is the real deal.MA. I appreciate the vegan tzatziki, the lentil Soup, spicy hummus, salad, the best falafels If my family didn't finish everything so fast I could've probably tried more food lol! The owner of this location is some sort of angel. I am telling you the amount of unselfish giving he does to the community is unparalleled! My reviews are always honest and cruelty free. Yafa in Livermore is the spot!

    Absolutely loved the shawarma wrap at Yafa Hummus! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Quick service, friendly staff, and great value. Will definitely be back!

    gyro pita
    Jessica H.

    Nice staff and good food! Really enjoyed the shawarma fries; the fries themselves were a tiny bit too dry, but edible. The spicy sauce was amazing! Very delicious. They went perfectly well with the pickles and grilled onions. Very good flavor combination overall and the chicken was a nice protein option (a little overcooked though). The gyro pita was not my favorite; the tomatoes were sliced in a way that was hard to eat with the entire pita (maybe needs to be cut into wedges?). The tzatziki was good but unfortunately was only in one half of the pita. The beef was pretty salty in my opinion. The raw onions were thick and not super pleasant to eat. On the flip side, the falafel deluxe was good. The wrap was tasty and the fillings were quite flavorful. It was a good portion of food!

    half gyro/half falafel, regular hummus, white rice, salad, tzatziki, chili sauce. YUM!

    Food was fresh. Service was friendly. I got a bowl with half gyro/half falafel. Their falafel here were fire. I've had them before at their Tracy location but the ones here hit different. They tasted fresher and crispier on the outside. At their Tracy location, they just call out your name when your food is ready. So, we were really surprised to see that they brought out our food to our table like it was a restaurant. That was so nice b/c we would've gone to get it ourselves. Same when we were done w/our food, we couldn't find the trash bin. So we asked the guy where the bin was and he said it was fine and to just leave the trays on the table, he'd take care of it. SO NICE! b/c he easily could've said, "it's over there" and pointed to it. Really delicious food and excellent service.

    The service there is always exceptional and the store is clean. I ordered the shwarma fries and they were delicious! I didn't add pickles, but the sauce and the chicken with the fries is a delicious combination! They are quick with the orders and really friendly!

    Great is working hard to serve the best.  Lentil soup is awesome
    Dennis K.

    The food & service here is top notch. I go here a lot more than I review but it's time to update. Tonight it was take out. The bowls are great with plenty of fulfilling options. Food that is supposed to be hot is hot in temperature. Bowls come with warm pita and the hummus is creamy & tasty. The staff is very friendly & they especially welcome those customers that return over & over again. I forgot to take pictures as I was hungry. Next time I will tempt you more. Btw the lentil soup is a must have.

    Yafa Hummus gets five stars in my book. Went here recently with my beloved. She got the falafel wrap. I got the falafel bowl with brown rice, falafel, amazing hummus, salad etc. The falafel wrap is made with daily made falafel mix served on lavash with hummus, spring mix, tomatoes, pickles and tahini sauce. Bowl is choose a couple items aka hummus, protein aka falafel two sides and went to dress it up with vegan tahini. I spent six weeks backpacking in the Middle East and love the Bay Area has so many great ethnic spots that are authentic with good veg options. We both loved it! Everything was fresh, affordable, tasty, vegan, and friendly service to boot so what's not to like. Five stars and we will definitely come back here.

    Food is delicious and fresh! Huge portions. The chicken bowl was enough for 2 meals. I'm picky about tzatziki Sauce and theirs is great!

    Love this place. Great food, great staff, great music. It's a clean establishment with good vibes. I may be addicted to the falafel wrap.

    Is the spring mix organic? What are the pita chip ingredients and what type of oil are they fried in?

    Hello Holly, Our spring mix is not organic & we use canola oil to fry our pita chips. We use Lavash bread for the chips and season it with Zaatar, sumac, and kosher salt.

I have tried Demitris multiple times in the last year and without fail, one or more of the items we ordered does not come, both when in restaurant and delivery. The final nail was when we had a reservation recently that was confirmed by email and also by phone with them, and when we arrived we were first told that the reservation did not exist and after we showed our reservation confirmation, they told us that they were full so they wouldn't accept the reservation. When we have gotten our food there has also been other issues such as portion sizes very small or not prepared correctly.

    We walked in Saturday around 12pm. It wasn't busy at all. We ordered the Korma chicken, sabzi lamb,…read morechaplee, lamb kabob, and mantoo. Everything was good. Tender meats and not too salty. The main dishes all came with a side of basmati or seasoned rice. The seasoned rice was very salty. Service was pretty much nonexistent. The staff just brings your food to you and doesn't check up on you. If you can get past the service and just go there for the food. Parking lot is shared with other businesses. 1 restroom.

    Came here recently and honestly had a mixed experience. The bolani comes as either a half (6…read morepieces) or full (12 pieces) order that was strange when normally its just one order and its good for a bunch of folks. Flavor was all over the place -- a couple pieces had no salt at all, while others were way too salty. And the spicyness wasnt(aka chilli flakes) in the potato mixture wasnt spread well either. I got the triple kabob plate and the rice portion was surprisingly small compared to other Afghan spots. Chicken kabobs were inconsistent: some pieces were super salty, others were fine. The beef was tender, but not every bite had the same flavor. Chicken was tender though, cut well. Could have been flavored a bit more Plates overall felt smaller than what I'm used to at similar restaurants. Also worth mentioning -- they serve alcohol here, so if you're strict about halal, that might be a consideration. Since a place selling wine- not sure how strict they are on sourcing halal meat (hand slaughter for example). Also very pricey location compared to others maybe since they serve wine they catering to folks that drink who may spend more without caring All in all, not terrible, but definitely inconsistent and portion sizes could be better. Worth mentioning that all these de afghanans are not same - they have diff owners etc. Not bad seating, was empty for a sunday lunch at noon .

    Mumu is one of my favorite hotpot places. It's a little bit more, but the meat selection is beef…read moretoro, and they all come with a vegetable tray. I believe the vegetable only tray right off starts around $30 and it goes up from there. But it's always organized in a very nice manner, and you get tongs. Every pot is individual with it inset into the table so there's less likelihood of spilling. You can buy everything a-la-carte, but I would suggest getting one of the packages for 1 or 2 people, and then add-on from there. All of the ingredients seem very fresh, and the sauce bar is very large and gives a lot of selections to create your own crazy concoction for dipping. Generally on the weekend, it's at least a 30 minute wait for a smaller party so be prepared. Service has always been fantastic, and they have implemented a system similar to what you see at the airports these days where you just scan a QR code, and it's tied to your table so you can order and pay directly there without having to flag people down (they are all very nice and friendly if you do happen to need to do that). One of the few places that does the sukiyaki broth, so I would highly recommend that for someone that doesn't really do spicy. All-in-all, it's always a pleasant experience, and one of the my favorite places when it comes to hot pot.

    I am so against a la carte hot pot, but I get the Mumu hype for real!! The quality is there and the…read moretaste is so good. My party came in midday, and there was no wait on a Saturday. If I remember correctly, we had a reservation and arrived early as well. They sat us down once we were all there since there was no wait. My partner and I opted for the classic set which had 2 soup bases, 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 rice/noodle, and a veggie platter. I opted for the Yuzu Shio, while my partner got the Sukiyaki. I loved my broth! Again the meats, despite being from their most basic set meats was so good. You can definitely tell the difference in quality. I was scared this wasn't gonna be enough, but it was plenty! We were so full by the end. Again, I totally get the Mumu hot pot hype. I will be back LOL
