    26. Lamb Shank Platter
    Ellie F.

    People have been raving about this halal restaurant, so I had to give it a try! First and foremost, the hospitality is a strength here. Our servers were kind and accommodating of everything we asked for. To start, we tried some wings, which were average but good. We also got the falafel and they were super crispy! However, they were a bit wet in the middle for my taste. The lamb gyro was probably my favorite item that we tried. It was so hot and fresh! I also tried the lamb shank, which was so tender that it was falling apart. Yafa Kabab is not my favorite restaurant with this cuisine, but I think they have some great fast/casual options and the service is great.

    Falafel was the surprise - so, so good. I thought they were burnt and said so and the young man said trust me, that's how they should be.

    This place is great! A party of four we stopped by on a Friday evening around 7pm. The place is on smaller size but it did not stop the steady stream of people coming through for carryout! This place was busy but it did move. The food is amazing and the flavors are bold and good. The price point is descent and customer service was 1000! Amazing place, good people and great food.

    Hummus With Shawarma
    Anise S.

    The positives: Clean and spacious restaurant. Great fries. Fresh hot pitas were served with my meal. The hummus was so incredibly smooth and tasty. The negatives: Slow service when we were initially the only couple there for dinner. The chicken shawarma had a weird taste. The chicken shawarma sandwich is cut in a way that makes it unpleasant to eat. It's a wrap that is cut into four or five pieces and has plenty of sauce and fillings that fall out easily, whatever they put in the sandwich makes it extremely salty too. The fried Yama cheese was so incredibly salty, to the point that it would've been inedible for most people. My husband finished it because he was hungry. I didn't want to believe the negative reviews, but there seems to be some truth to them. All in all, I know this is a fairly new restaurant so I'm hopefully they will work out these concerns. It's a local restaurant so I'll advocate for it - just heed the lower starred reviews when placing your order.

    Pretty disappointed with the food. The baba ghanoush was ok, the pita bread was trash. It was cold and only came with 2 pieces for a large. Chicken Alfredo was decent. Cheese bacon fries were ok. Cheese pizza was good. Chicken was salty and dry. House salad was meh. Chicken shawarma was salty and dry. Lamb chops were the only 'good' thing. Service was slow. Def had better Mediterranean food else where and cheaper. Do not recommend here.

    Kept seeing this place on social media and finally stopped by! The manager was very friendly and made us feel welcome! The lamb chops were full of flavor and so tender! The thin crust made the pizza extra good!

    Authentic food with good service and a clean ambiance. Middle eastern hospitality! Stopped by for a late lunch and was surprised with the taste of the food, the quality and the way we were treated! I am defined going back for more!!!!

    The customer service and food is top tier! I loveeeee their pizza! The wings were packed with so much flavor. The chicken plate was very seasoned and fresh. I'm glad I ran into this spot!

    Slice of Meat Lovers

    Ordered an ex-large Meat Lovers pizza for my family and arrived home and there was only beef pepperoni and a FEW SMALL pieces of beef bacon. How is that meat lovers and I only see cheese and beef pepperoni? This was my second visit and I will not return. There is no way they should've thought this was ok. I would've returned it if there weren't so far from my house. I don't eat pork so I loved that they offered beef toppings.

    Slowest service I have ever experienced. Food is disappointing. Won't be back. They brought pita 10 minutes after the main dish.

My sis and I are fans of falafel. The plate came with a bit of hummus but we ordered more separately and are so glad we did! The hummus tasted so good we couldn't stop eating it! They put a little sumac in it and the tweak in the taste really grabbed all of us. Mom liked the falafel so much she wanted to understand what all was in it! We decided to try the fish fahsah and wow were we glad we did! We all agreed this is a must have on the menu for us, though we also want to try the lam version. It had such an incredible combination of flavors! We always like the kabobs and went for the chicken again. The plate includes chicken, rice, pickled vegetables and yogurt. We ordered to go, service as always was great.

Lots of options for parking and you can do a little shopping if you need any of the other shops in the complex! Service is great, the staff was very friendly. I was offered complimentary hot tea upon arrival and even got complimentary lamb broth soup and a small (but delicious!) salad with cucumber, lettuce, tomato with my entree. My first time there I ordered the half grilled chicken plate and hummus. The hummus arrived first and was beautifully plated and came with a huge piece of homemade and FRESH bread. Hummus was delicious and the bread was warm and cozy. The half chicken plate came out and let me tell you, I ate that food for the next three days. It was just little ol' me with a giant half chicken, probably a pint of rice, and a salad of veggies. It was soooooooo good. I love taking a bite of hummus with some rice and some chicken. It makes my heart happy. The next time I went I ordered the chicken kabob plate to try to scale it down. The kabob plate didn't come with the soup and salad, but that was okay because it was still a ton of food! Ten pieces of grilled chicken, a huge serving of rice, and some veggies on the side. I can't wait to eat it for the next few days. This place is easy, right off Perkins exit of the 40, lots of parking, and you can sit by yourself and have a nice long lunch. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing place on the inside, but when the food tastes like it does it doesn't even matter. Bonus it's right next to a cozy Yemeni coffee shop and a Mediterranean grocery store.

The food was fine but our meal took forever because each person's food was delivered one person at a time, and so slowly that #1 was finished before #2 arrived. There were four of us. It was excruciating. We finally asked about our last person and realized the order hadn't been put in, and when it was brought out it was missing a side. I don't know what was off, but it was not a good experience. The vibe wasn't bad, and the food was great. I think on a better night it could be a great place to go.
