First time trying this spot, and it did not disappoint. The service was great, fast, and made to order. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter, and falafel wrap and it's one of the best I have had! Definitely recommend! read more

Time to unveil the crown to the number one Shawarma spot in the NoVA and DC area. This is none other than Yalla Pita. You ask why? Sit down. First of all the owner of this place and the staff are amazing. They greet you like you are at home. While you wait for your food regardless of whatever you order or even if you don't order anything they will make you taste their warm fluffy and crispy on the outside falafel. This is the only place where I have had beef shawarma and it is not dry. It is flowing with juices and the meat is succulent. Chef's kiss! The chicken shawarma here is amazing as well, the flavors are balanced well and everything comes together. The ambiance of this place is of a regular shawarma joint however there is so much cool stuff on the walls that it will keep you occupied. 5/5 because this place deserves it. read more

Saw posts of this place on social media and they looked so good I had to stop by the next day. It is in a fairly busy shopping center with a lot of businesses and eateries. The employees were very nice, its a cozy, casual, family-friendly spot. It's not very spacious; they do have a few small tables outside. The day I went it was very busy and there was a 30 minute wait for food. I had a chicken shawarma bowl and a steak shawarma wrap. Both were really good. Just like the social media posts, the shawarma wraps are very long and well worth it. Everything tasted good and fresh. I will definitely be back for some more shawarma. read more

Tried Yalla Pita--fresh, flavorful food with well-seasoned fillings and warm, soft pita. Portions were generous, service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Stopped by while visiting from out of town. It was DELICIOUS! And great portions! Food comes out quick and the staff is super friendly (advised us to order the combo when we were thinking of ordering each individual thing separately)! We got the baba ganoush with fresh warm pita, the chicken schwarma rice bowl, chicken schwarma wraps, falafel and fries. Super flavorful--and cute containers. The schwarma bowls come with two creamy sauces which are both excellent. My fiance and his parents loved the falafel and thought the pita wraps were perfectly crispy without being soggy. The fries were also very yummy read more

Yalla Pita was delicious! I came to the store yesterday craving a quick lunch. The owner was kind and greeted me as I walked in. After placing my order, the owner suspected that I was new to the store and then went into the kitchen to hand me a piece of falafel. It was really good! That left a nice interaction with me asking about the place. It hasn't been open for long but they have strong support from the community. Originally I wanted to try the Steak Shawarma but the owner mentioned that it's only available on Fri-Sun. That didn't stop me from ordering a Chicken Shawarma Wrap. The Chicken Shawarma Wrap has shaved chicken, pickles, fries, lettuce & garlic sauce. The sandwich is actually almost a foot long. I was surprised on how much food this place gives! It's impressive. The owner also gave me more garlic sauce on the side to dip with the wrap. It is amazing! Just to clarify, I did not order the platter with does come with fries + soda of your choice. I only wanted the sandwich but that is an option for anyone interested. I can't wait to come back to try the Steak Shawarma Wrap! read more

This is by far the best falafel salad and falafel I've had anywhere in the area. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and authentic. The hummus is clearly homemade--smooth, flavorful, and exactly how it should be. I also ordered the fries, and honestly, even the French fries are on point--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and not an afterthought like at many places. On top of the amazing food, the owner is fantastic--super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about the customers. Highly recommend this place. If you're in the Oakton area and love quality Mediterranean food, Yalla Pita is a must-try. read more

delicious fresh food, authentic Palestinian and Jordanian flavors! amazing service and friendly staff. we will come back always!

I walked in and was surprised by how small the place was, but it had great vibes and smelled amazing. I called ahead and ordered the chicken shawarma wrap for pickup, and when I arrived it was hot and ready for me. The first thing you notice is how big it is, pressed perfectly and really delicious. It could use a little extra garlic sauce inside or on the side. I was offered some chili spread that was really delicious and paired perfectly with the shawarma. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely did not disappoint. read more

Came here for lunch. New trendy hip looking place that just started out after owners ran a food truck for a while. Very friendly Palestinian owners after chatting with them. I tried their schwirma steak wrap. The wrap although skinny was very long and had a good portion. I got their spicy sauce on the side which was very tasty. Overall good sandwich and I would return to try more food! read more

First time my friends and I arrived we regretted not coming earlier in the day because we had missed out on the shawarma! (We were so happy to hear you sold out ) We got the falafel wraps, baba ghannouj, hummus, pita chips, fries & baklava. I have to say these are my favorite falafel and the freshest baklava I've had! My second time going, I saw that the steak shawarma was available so I finished my errands to grab a late lunch & the wait was worth it. read more

Yalla Pita - Lamb shawarma wrap & falafel wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

MOVED to Oakton, VA as brick & mortar restaurant. Right in our neighborhood. Since daughter is huge fan of Cava and all things hummus - she picked for pre-college-move-in meal. The bread is excellent, the meats flavorful. Disappointed modifications to wraps not allowed, hubs hates pickles and garlicky sauce was good but overpowering. Def order ahead, friendly service but can be slow. Welcome & much luck. read more

After hearing all the hype about Yalla Pita, I finally had a craving for shawarma and crossed the street to get some wraps for me and my boyfriend. It's right across the parking lot from Hangry Joes, and can be difficult to find parking if it's during peak hours/ the weekend. There's a small amount of seating inside, so you can order and wait for your food, since it's about a 20 minute wait for orders (they make everything fresh). Very cozy interior and the staff are super kind and helpful. After ordering, the cashier/ owner gave each of us a free falafel to try that they made fresh, which was very tasty. The shawarma wraps are a really good deal, you get this extremely long wrap for $12.99! Honestly you can portion this out for several meals, but my boyfriend inhaled his in one sitting and I have over half of mine left after eating it. The garlic sauce that they have is phenomenal with it too. I'll definitely be back to try the other items, since the beef shawarma was out for the day, and there's bowl and platter options too! read more

I must say, I was a little disappointed. Especially seeing the high ratings from my fellow Yelpers. The shop is small and cozy ... and the menu is on the small side as well. But that's OK. I'd rather it be small and done right. But that was not the case. I proceeded to order a Steak Shawarma, but was told that they did not have any. What? It's not even noon and they are out? So I proceeded to order the Chicken Shawarma. I wanted to couple this with a diet soda, but they did not carry any (not good). I also ordered a side of fries as I wanted something to go with it (only pita chips was the other option ... again, not good). When the food arrived, the sandwich was larger than expected and the order of fries was quite generous, but the total amount of food was probably more than what I wanted for lunch (and now I understand the somewhat expensive price tag). I proceeded to take a bite of the sandwich. The chicken was tender, but the taste was bland. And if I knew that their recipe included pickles in the sandwich, I would have asked to put them on the side. So, I was not impressed with the whole experience. Not sure I will return unless there are changes. read more

First time trying them. Ordered steak shawarma sandwich to go. At $16 without any sides for a sandwich price is too high. Menu listed includes fries. Didn't see or taste any fries. Added tip for to go order never thanked me. He seemed labored about working. read more

Amazing service and high quality food. Will be back. Recommend the platter and wrap!

Small restaurant with a few tables. Came here for lunch...def got pretty busy around 11:30. We got the chicken shawarma platter which comes with fries and side of raw veggies ($6 more) and the steak shawarma wrap. Both were really good and the side sauces were a good combo. The main guy came around and gave us samples of falafel made with chicken peas...it was crispy and hearty! The wraps are thin with lots of filling. I enjoyed the steak and chicken... would recommend trying both! read more

My girl and I walked into yalla pita which has a deli style like vibe to it. The man running the register was welcoming and even offered us a sample of the falafel which was crispy and soft in the middle. It was Very flavorful which convinced us to buy a side of them with our shawarma's. I got the steak and my girl got the chicken. Both were bursting with flavor and the meat was well seasoned. The chicken shawarmas had fries in it which really set it off. The steak was juicy and blended well with the ingredients. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for a good shawarmas I'll definitely be back. read more

Food and service were both outstanding. It was quite busy as I think a lot of people saw the video review we did. Well worth the wait. We had chicken shawarma wrap - best we've ever had. Flavorful, tender chicken. Veg and fries included in the platter also great. Falafel - also amongst the best we've had, we got the salad with falafel. Already looking forward to the next visit! read more

I'm no expert when it comes to Palestinian-Jordanian cuisine, but everything on Yalla's menu sounded delicious! Our chicken shawarma wrap and falafel salad were outstanding, as was the friendly and welcoming owner. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes and their enticing baklava! read more

Wow this has to be the best shawarma I have had in the US! So impressed and that's quite rare. Didn't even take a pic I devoured it so fast

Best Shawarma in the state! I recently moved to Reston and needed a good Shawarma spot, def recommend to anybody nearby. Not dry and full of flavors. Staff is very friendly and provide great service. The store is small and filled with lots of fun cute designs on the wall representing culture. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for soo long and I'm pretty disappointed. Went for lunch and the place was empty. I got a chicken shawarma and the meat was so dry. The flavor was so one-note and no tastes stood out. It was ok, but i've definitely had much better. read more

service was so helpful and amazing. I made a convoluted order, and it turned out perfectly. The place was clean, and the food was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the falafel wrap and the chicken schwarma wraps were tasty and satisfying. Thank you read more

Finally, a solid, authentic shawarma place in the DMV! Upon entering, the owner greeted us & kindly offered a sample of their falafel, which was delicious. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter, which was generously portioned. The shawarma is solid & the closest I've had to ones I've tried around Eastern Europe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick but quality bite to eat. read more

Phenomenal pitas. I usually go chicken pita. Good quality, and food is very consistent. Employees and owner are very nice.

Amazing food! The owner gave us extra food when we had to wait as well as drinks! Will definitely be coming back.

Most amazing pita place I have ever gone. They have gluten free and vegan options. So delicious. I'll be back many more times after going twice in one day!! Great good, even better service, good ambiance. read more

The food is great and not overall too salty, we all know that adding salt and msg to food will make it more favorfull but not necessary good for you. However, most restaurants/fast food don't give a fcuk about your health. They managed to have good favor without too much salt. Just good, simple food. The portion is good, i often split one wrap+ fries platter with my wife for lunch. I hope you guys all try this place out and they have more business so that I can have steak version whether I can, not just Friday to Sunday. One issue is the don't have diet soda, I always takeout and never took their soda, it is not a problem for me, but can be quite annoying for other people. read more

AMAZING FOOD!!!!!! People are SO NICE! I can't BELIEVE nobody wants the pickles in their wraps! They are SO GOOD pls just try them. And I love how we can draw on the walls it is so fun! And it's fun to read everything people wrote there! And again... The people who work here are SO NICE AND HELPFUL. The falafel is so hot and delicious! We will definitely be coming back to this AMAZING PLACE!!! read more

It was my first visit to Yalla Pita, and it definitely won't be my last. We ordered two chicken shawarma wraps, one steak shawarma wrap, one falafel wrap, three orders of fries, and sodas. The food quality and taste were perfect. Personally, I loved the steak wrap--it was amazing, as were the other two. The size of the chicken and steak shawarma wraps was massive; no other place in the DMV offers something similar, to be honest. The service was excellent as well. Mohammed was so kind and displayed exceptional hospitality. The restaurant isn't very large, but the decorations and wall paintings are fantastic, creating the perfect ambiance for a shawarma spot. One thing I would highly recommend is adding kunafa to the menu (perhaps in a small, single-serving size), as it would make the perfect dessert to pair with the shawarma. read more

I visited Yalla Pita for the first time - ordered a felafel sandwich . to me it was the best sandwich in the area I had for years. All the addition to the sandwich were just right ( the seasoning, the pickles, the sauce ...... made it the best sandwich. Excellent services too thank you Yalla pita for being in Fairfax . read more

Best shawarma I've had in the area and I've tried a handful of places. The staff is very friendly and attentive. It's a small place and was very busy so not much space to dine in but they were attentive to cleaning up tables immediately after someone got up. I will def be back. read more

Excellent!! Loved the pita wrap and the free sample falafel while waiting. It was so fresh and loved the crunch !
