    Stuffed Peppers
    Em B.

    yalla grill is excellent for take-out, i've come here a few times and will go out of my way for it when i'm within 30 minutes away. counter service is always kind and helpful, and inside ambiance is cute and casual. chicken kabob plate 10/10 stuffed peppers 10/10 baklava 10/10 if you're craving middle eastern food, yalla grill is sure to satisfy! ambiance: 3.5/5 food: 5/5 service: 5/5 yalla grill: 4.5/5

    Table pita bread, very thin

    2026 Jan 17: 1) Yalla mixed grill 2) hummus 3) jallab. The hummus tastes great ! It is different from what we get from Paterson NJ , more sour, tomatoes on top instead of chickpeas but more appetizing as a result. The jallab did not come with seeds like the picture on the website mixed grill is great for three to share, the beef kebab, lamb kebab and chicken kebab are the best, better than Patterson NJ, and the rice is more fragrant too.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    Outstanding authentic food! The food selection is amazing. We never leave there hungry or disappointed. We had the chicken shawarma. The flavor and spice is awesome. Try the tabbouleh it is the best in the area. Give this family ownership a try and you will not stop coming back.

    My husband and I LOVE this place! Amazing Mediterranean spot. Hummus and cheese rolls are a must every time we go. Service was good! Not over the top but also checked on you just enough, not a huge rave or rant there. Seems like they're remodeling right now and going for a modern bling look, so it's kinda cramped by the bar area but it's temporary I'm sure. Bar looks well stocked and seems they're trying to lean more towards drinks as of late with a huge drink menu we haven't seen before. Overall, amazing food and will continue to come back for it.

    The Lebanese-style chicken shawarma came in a lightly toasted Syrian bread wrap filled with a flavorful blend of chicken, tahini, fries, and pickles. With the delicious homemade hummus, rice and grapeleaves, I left stuffed and happy! Typical of my Lebanese and Syrian culture, the staff were so warm and treated us like family. We took some baklava home to devour.

    This is HALF of the Yalla, Let's Mix on The Grill platter!
    Jay T.

    The parking lot is kind of awful-tight, and with small spaces, but the smell coming out of the place was heavenly! We came in, and had to wait five minutes to be seated at what appeared to be the last available . After we sat down, we waited for 20 minutes before our order was taken. Not an auspicious start to the meal. We ordered the Yalla Let's Mix It Up On The Grill, a big platter of kebabs and rice (or fries) and a side salad. They literally mean A side salad, despite it being listed as a dish for sharing. The salad, a bowl of lettuce with a couple slices of tomato and cucumber and some red onion, dressed in a mint vinaigrette, showed up after about 10 minutes. It came with a plastic bag of warm pita wedges, but not with my coffee, which arrived after we finished the salad. The coffee was decent, but my Bride took one sip of her water and declared it "unfortunate," and that was *before* she found an unidentified piece of something floating in it. Then the platter hit the table, the chicken kebab hit my mouth, and all was forgiven. The meats and vegetables were grilled to perfection! The chicken and lamb were SO tender, the kufta so perfectly seasoned, I would actually have to go to Lebanon to look for better Lebanese food. The rice was neither sticky nor dry, and seasoned nicely. With so much rice and two each of four types of kebabs, I'm actually glad that we only got one salad between us. I'm not sure that I could have eaten another bite. And I wanted to eat another bite very badly, because they had baklava. Flaky, crispy, chewy, delicious baklava. We each got a piece. Even here in Taxachussetts, supper was only $42.69 before tip. And since the entire staff appears to be the one young man running the entire front of the house and his dad on the grill, in the end, I can't even be mad about the wait. TL;DR- if you're in a big hurry, wait until you have time to properly appreciate this fantastic food. Definitely worth stopping for supper, and make sure you save room for the baklava. But maybe don't drink the water. I would definitely stop by again if I ever find myself back in

    Hello. Doing great, thankyou! Unsure of what the term Zabiha means but I can assure you that all of the meat that we sell is Halal.

You wouldn't think it by the name, but Martha's is a Lebanese restaurant with a great menu that won't overwhelm you. The owner and his staff are extremely friendly and overall just wonderful people. I went crazy and ordered the Steak Shawerma, 3 piece Falafel, baba ghanouj and hummus. The steak shawerma came with rice pilaf and a garden salad and was so good that I'll be going back to try their chicken one. The falafel was perfect. It wasn't oily and had just the right amount of flavoring and crunch. The baba ghanouj and hummus were to die for. I seriously had to keep myself from eating the entirety of the containers. They are currently remodeling the dining area so I can't comment on the ambience, but for what it's worth I like the quaint look of the place from the outside and the ease of ordering from the window. I'm a stickler when it comes to Lebanese food, but I'm so happy to finally find a Lebanese restaurant so close to me that it has officially become my go-to place for Lebanese food from here on out! I highly recommend Martha's as your next place to eat!

He was great on the mic, dry sense of humor and moved a good pace with the trivia! We ended up coming in 1st place out of 4 or 5 teams! It's a relatively small inside space with the most beautiful patio looking out onto the course which has some of the best sunsets in the MV area! Our server was Ian who was very cool, laid back, and fit the vibe of the place. I work in the service industry myself and respect the hell out of a good server, he knew his stuff, our food came out right even with a few modifications on my friends entree. I highly suggest the steak tips and start with the sweet potato fries with Jalapeño aioli as an app for the table! THEYRE SO GOOD. The golf course itself is beautiful and upstairs from sandtrap is another restaurant/bar called "Parlay" - beautifully decorated, so much sunlight coming through, definitely a place I'd love to check out in the future!

And it seems I wasn't the only one who discovered this hidden gem. When we got here, the spot was packed inside. Despite this we ordered three different items for a sit-down experience, and still received everything within 25 minutes. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap on one occasion, and it was love at first bite. The wrap itself was toasted to a perfect brown crisp on the outside, yet retaining softness underneath, where it encapsulated the ranch-like sauce where it mixed with the sliced lettuce, carrots, onions and tomatoes to give it a well rounded, mixed, creamy flavor of the vegetables. The lamb meat itself was the primary vehicle of salt and spice (with emphasis on the garlic), yet never being dry. All this being considered, the wrap never fell apart, and held together the entire journey. I made the mistake of ordering the lamp wrap my first go here, because the next occasion I came here, I got the chicken shawarma bowl. Although the rice, sauce, chicken and vegetables all inherited the same flavor profile as the wrap, the bowl fell wildly below my expectations as it was impossible to get a truly full bite of every single thing utilizing a small fork. Nonetheless, this is truly the spot for a reliable bite that emulates a small taste of the Middle East.

    We happen upon this place in Andover, because we were going to the big picture framing shop right…read moreby it. It looked good, it smelled good, and they were plenty of people inside. When I checked yelp, it had really good reviews too, so it was worth the try. I was really impressed with the ordering experience. They knew what they were doing. And if this obviously wasn't their first place. Although the chicken Shawarma was hanging and could be cut at any time dripping with juices, they actually had a container full already cut chicken Shawarma. Looks really, really juicy fresh and yummy. So we would pass on Shwarma next time. Too bad. For the dinners, two shows chicken Shawarma one chose halloumi salad, and one chose falafel plate. For the sides, we tried the hummus, vermicelli, rice, regular potatoes, spicy potatoes, Fattoush salad, and all looked really good. The atmosphere looks to be the type that I wouldn't really want to sit and have a romantic dinner at, but it does have a nice bar on the side, and there were a few people sitting and enjoying the trick with their food. We got takeout. The chicken Shawarma was pretty dry, and could have used a little bit more spice. We got the garlic aïoli on the side, and it matched it well. The hummus is excellent consistency, but needs a bit more spice also. Perhaps some of the dry spice they sell in the store. The halloumi on top of the salad is excellent. Really excellent. We drove a half hour to get home, so the halloumi was no longer warm, but that's expected. The salad under the halloumi, was really good. Very fresh, a bit different with the mandarin oranges, raisins, and slivered, almonds, and it all went well together.The dressing that comes with it, is the fig, balsamic vinaigrette, and that tasted just like a bottled fig balsamic glaze. It's the sticky very strong taste, and it was perfect on the salad and the cheese. Tabouli was great taste and yummy. So fresh. Disappointed in the pita, wish they were cooked in house. Cookies for dessert were pretty amazing. Homemade in house and they tasted it, and though they were kind of pricey, we would probably get them again. We really liked this place. 4 stars because of the dry shwarma.

There were pine nuts and minced onions in the kibbeh that elevated the dish. Then came the kaftah kebabs with grilled vegetables. Those vegetables were grilled nicely. The ground beef and lamb kaftah kebabs were spectacular. So meaty! These kebabs didn't have fillers. They were beautifully seasoned, grilled nicely and moist on the inside. What a delight!
