To be honest I was a little disappointed with this place. With all the good reviews I figured I can't go wrong since I love Mediterranean food, every town I visit I always have it at least once. First for dinner they ran out of falafel and baklava, no matter. I got the three meats, so chicken, beef shawarma and gyro. I don't even remember seeing beef, the gyro tasted like it had been out for a while. It was average. I also got the rice pudding and that is also ok. read more

Yasou Cafe - Mix Grill Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Delicious food. Ambiance is ok and one must go to the counter to order but staff delivers. Some meat was a tad dry but the flavors are great. Price point is great for a relatively affordable lunch or dinner. Very cool inside but I tend to run cold. Servings look beautiful! read more

I I we walk into the place and it is jammed the gallon in the back is cooking up a storm. The food is still exceptional. The salad is always crispy and fresh. I love the way they serve it. The falafel's are just delicious. Service is great places always clean and as all restaurants everyone's looking for more help so they're working under stress with less help yet it was right 1230 and it was jampacked and it was busy as could be and they were pumping out the food and people were smiling, laughing and talking and enjoying themselves great place to go enjoy it. read more

Great place! Super fresh food, great options and amazing staff! Gave different options like adding the pickled veggies. Very clean plenty of seating inside and even outside seating area. Definitely coming back to try more of their options! read more

Yasou Cafe - Chicken Shawarma and the three dips with pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I am discovering that I enjoy Mediterranean food. Yasou was recommended to me by some friends in Tallahassee that I just had to try. My wife and I started out with the triple dip appetizer. We chose tzasiki, lemon feta, and some word that I don't remember how to say that starts with a B but it is made with eggplant. The cashier recommended we add 8 more warm pita chips for $1 as it only came with 8. That was a brilliant suggestion because I don't know how we would have ate these 3 dips with only 8 pita chips. The pita chips were so soft! For my entree, I went with lamb schwarma. It was my first time having schwarma and I can't wait until the next time. My lamb was so tender and it didn't have the lamb taste to it. I loved the tahini sauce and the Yasou sauce I requested on the side. I don't usually brag about rice, but the rice was made extremely well and flavorful. My wife and stepson shared Yasou fries. These fries were piled high with cheese and gyro meat. Sweet tea was freshly brewed and refreshingly sweet! I will add Yasou to my list of places to eat in Tallahassee. read more

If you're reading this, follow my food page: fabseatery or faburlosoo! This place is right by my job and every time I pass by, it is pretty packed. I ordered the Greek Fries because I wanted something kind of light but also fulfilling at the same time. It was very fresh, my food came out quick and it was pretty good. It lacked a bit of flavor but I had a packet with salt and added some on top of the fries and it was good. Customer service was fine and the place was clean, I would love to come back and get a gyro. read more

Yasou Cafe - Order desk. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I tried Yasou Cafe for the first time this week and it was really good. I was really impressed with the dolmades! I got that as an appetizer with Tzataki sauce. I loved the bitterness of the grape leaves and how it contrasted the lamb and rice. I had the gyro pita with Greek fries. The gyro meat was good but the pita bread was the best part of the sandwich. The feta is really strong so you may want to ask for light feta. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Greek food is very underrated! read more

It's a basic cafe with a walk-up ordering counter. I went on a fairly light day during the weekend. The service was good. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Greek salad. It was good but the shawarma was a little dry. I did not mind it in the salad, but I don't know if I would have enjoyed it alone. The portion size was generous. The price was average. Next time I might try one of the plate options. read more

I'm honestly really sad to even be writing this, because Yasou has always been one of my favorite Mediterranean spots. Unfortunately, today was the last straw. My orders are either wrong or the quality just isn't there anymore. I'm not sure how they managed to give me two stale bags of pita, but they did. Management really needs to step it up, this place used to be great, but it's gone downhill. read more

The place has lots of parking. The restaurant itself is bright and clean looking. The counter staff was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The man I assume is the owner was also friendly and helpful. Y'all - the hibiscus tea is made in house and to die for! I'll be dreaming of that tea in the coming days. I had the appetizer platter and baklava ice cream. Hubby had a shawarma platter with the house soup. The spanikopita was much fuller and you could tell they were made in house. Nice and buttery phyllo to them. The fried shawarma was done just right and flavorful. The dolmas were fried? A little odd, but good. The fresh dips were another highlight. Again, the freshly made flavors came through. The falafel were OK. Seemed to be a little over fried. My husband didn't care for the soup, but I thought it was quite good. We both loved the fried pita bread that came with it. I didn't ask, but I would suspect they made the pita in house, too. My man isn't a really adventurous eater, so I tend to take his opinion of any specialty food with a grain of salt. I tasted his meal and it was lovely, too. The ice cream is wonderful! But that hibiscus tea is worth the trip across town all by itself! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Everything is so Fresh & Delicious! We have been here a few times since they opened, and it's always so tasty. The Chicken Shawarma plate is my absolute favorite, and I usually have enough for left overs the next day. The falafel is crispy outside, but the perfect consistency inside. The salads are great, too! They have the best hummus in town, in my opinion. They also have a kids menu, and my picky eaters love it there! My kids love their veggies & chicken so much. Definitely a great Greek spot in town and we will be repeat customers with how great the quality has been! read more

This was my first time at this restaurant, so I will give it another chance another time. I had a Greek salad, which was OK but I was expecting more. It was mostly lettuce, and I felt like you almost get enough dressing to go with it I was a little confused about ordering à la carte versus platter, and the person who was helping me was not really able to clarify it. I would've said they were impatient because the place was busy when I went, but it wasn't. On the plus side, the menu was extensive and portions were plenty large. Also, the restaurant is comfortable inside, and there is outdoor seating. read more

The staff is nice and accommodating. Spouse had a gyro, he said it was good. I ordered the lemon chicken soup, Avgolemono. It had oil sitting on the top and many of the pieces of chicken in the soup was like leather. Grant it, there was a good bit of chicken but I couldn't eat about 1/2 of it. The hummus is in a to go container, it had oil starting to pool around the bottom. I think the kitchen staff must be heavy handed with the olive oil. The pita bread was good soaked in the soup. We got the fries and don't get me wrong, they were good, but a little greasier than I expected, however, it was covered with mozzarella cheese and baked, I should have thought of that. :^}. Again, the staff was very nice and accommodating but the food could use some tweaks. Inside, it was a bit chilly, glad we took a light jacket in. read more

Craving gyros, we ordered delivery from Yasou Cafe. And we were very happy as a result. We started with the three dip combo where you can choose from 4 options. We chose tzatziki, whipped feta and baba ghanoush (the 4th option was hummus) which comes with your choice of bread- we chose warm pita. All three choices were delicious, but the whipped feta was amazing. And the baba ghanoush had a wonderful smoky flavor from the roasted eggplant. We also tried the Greek Fries, which are topped with feta, mozzarella, garlic butter and green onions (we had ours with Yasou Magic sauce). Delicious. We also shared a large Mediterranean salad that was more than enough for two. And then there was the gyro which we ordered with tzatziki sauce and a side of Yasou rice. We actually ordered two of these, but they forgot to deliver one (we received a refund). But I'm glad that we only had one: it was huge. We easily, but messily, split it. It was fantastic: the meat was so tender, juicy and flavorful, and the rice was delicious. This was a wonderful dinner and I can't wait to order again. read more

Who know the Avgolemono soup would be so delicious? And the falafel was perfectly flavored. This visit, I had the Gyro Platter and was allowed to substitute falafel for the hummus. The platter was piled high with gyro meat, rice and sauce. It also came with a side greek salad and a pita. Back to the soup....I've read many recipes for this soup and never thought I'd like it. Thanks s was flavorful with a chicken flavor and pieces of chicken with a hint of lemon that was not overpowering. I took baklava and rice pudding home for dessert. OMG. My tummy is so full! read more

This is just my opinion- while the service was great, their food was below average. Did not like my meal it was flavorless. The Greek fries were quite gross. Just not a place I would visit again. There are way better Mediterranean restaurants around with better tasting meals. read more

Great food and kind service! Definitely consider eating here or catering. Always spot on!

I really do love this place, and it's my go to for Mediterranean style food in Tally, but I was kinda disappointed with my fries and cost of the lunch I got. A chicken plate and fry app cost me $21, and the fries were cold with melted cheese that just served as a blanket for the potatoes and didn't really do anything else. The entree was amazing, though! read more

Yasou Cafe - Chicken Shwarma Plate with the Greek fries app - Mediterranean Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The wait time was long and there were only 2 people ahead of us. It took 20 minutes for our food to be ready and we had to get up and ask for it. We noticed there was food waiting to go out - we'll chalk this up to growing pains because restaurants are re-opening after quarantine. I suggest ordering online to minimize wait time. Also, they had a scan and pay method that you can use to pay from your table. Thought that was pretty neat. Their portions are big for the price. I ordered the gyro w Greek fries (this was an up charge) and a drink. The total (after a 20% tip) was about $17. The gyro was delicious and it's packed with meat. So much meat that it kept falling off so I just added it to the top of my fries. The greek fries were good. The cheese on top of the fries was everything. Now if they seasoned their fries with seasoning salt, it would make it amazing. My best friend ordered the yasou fries and added chicken. The chicken was too bland for my personal taste. I will be re-visiting this restaurant but will be ordering ahead of time. read more

Love what they made out of this place. Warm, bride and friendly. Wide variety of food option and super delicious and authentic.

Seems they also offered a good beer collection but have not paid more attention to that lol Outdoor seating is available. read more

Only 3 stars because it's suppose to be a quick service restaurant and we waited over 30minutes for our foods. If you have a short lunch break I would not go there. Food was good, I had the special a shrimp pita and Greek fries. Lots of shrimp on the pita. The Greek fries were good although I've never had it with the cheese melted on them before. In all it was ok...The restaurant is out of the way for us. We went there today just to try the food. If we are over that away again we might stop by if we have the time to wait... read more

Food was delicious and portion was good. The price was definitely reasonable. I ordered the mixed grill with chicken shawerma, beef shawarma, & gyro. The portion of meat was decent and it was served on a huge bed of delicious yellow rice, with pita, and it also comes with two sides (I chose fries & hummus) in addition to 3 yummy sauces. It was a lot of good food for only $16.99! Staff was friendly and food did not take too long to be made. read more

Nice fresh selection of delicious Greek fare. The gyro meat is flavorful & texturally delicious, bouncy and moist. I love their yellow rice, I always use the leftovers in other dishes. It's too good to waste. Everything here is top notch. If you like Greek food you won't be disappointed. Oh, special shout out to the pickles which have a little heat to them & are my absolute favorite thing here. read more

Excellent Restaurant for Greek food. Their gyros are fabulous and you can get them in a variety of different ways. You can get a Gyro with a pita bread, you can get it in a bowl with yellow rice and there was another way but I forgot the third one. Their french fries are amazingly crispy and delicious everything I have tried in this place has been wonderful. Their baklava is also very good my only criticism would be it is too small a piece. The staff is always very friendly and very nice. Denise andrews read more

I like the food at this restaurant, but today I had a very bad experience with the takeout via GrubHub. I did not receive the tzatziki sauce and the tabouli salad. These are two staples for this type of restaurant so I don't understand why they would be out of these items and apparently they just forgot to put in the tzatziki sauce. If you're going to run a restaurant, get your act together because these are simple things that should not be happening. Apparently you don't have someone double check the orders to see if everything is there. If you're out of an item on GrubHub, just cancel the order. It is not fair to the customer to find out that there will be a missing item that they have paid for. Not cool. It puts the customer at a disadvantage and inconvenience of having to call GrubHub and get their order amount adjusted because employees were not on the ball and don't know how to handle this situation. I believe your employees need formal training regarding simple situations that turn into nightmares for the customer. The girl at the restaurant said she had told the GrubHub driver that they were out of tabouli. Red flag number one, that is a staple at a Mediterranean restaurant so why are you out of this? Red flag number two why are you telling the driver? The driver did not relay the message. You sent the order with two significant missing items and yet I had paid for them. Again, not cool. If you want to succeed in being a successful business, get your act together and hopefully you will handle situations like this better in the future because you have trained your employees to be more professional and proficient. read more

This was my first time trying Yasou because my go-to gyro joint was closed. I must say, this gives my number one Greek spot a run for it's money. We tried the hummus.....uhhhhmazing, the gyro which was fantastic. We also got the Kafta plate with dolmades and whipped feta. So good. I would caution any cilantro haters out there, that the dolmades and Kafka have it. So if you love cilantro, you will love these two items. If you don't, stick with everything else. I plan on returning soon for the Greek soup and Chicken Shawarma which I was told later I needed to check out. Oh and the tzsaziki is ONNNNN POINT!!!! read more

Upon my fellow Yelpers recommendations, I was looking forward to give Yasou a try, and was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the soup, Spanakopita, Gyro, the Sharma platter, rice pudding and Baklava. Everything was delicious! The reason I am not giving this 5 Stars is because I didn't get the Baklava. A pet peeve for me is when I order to go and find something missing when I get home! I'll be back, but I will check my order next time! It was a little bit of a drive, but worth it! read more

We've ordered take-out many times from Yasou Cafe. I typically get the Greek salad and the lemon chicken soup. The salad is a good size and very fresh. The soup is AWESOME! I visited the first time yesterday with some friends and ordered the beef shwarma. Also very good. The restaurant is clean and pleasantly decorated. The owner walked around from table to table welcoming the guests. Overall, I'm very impressed. I live in Southwood, so I will ne back and will be recommending this restaurant to others. Thank you to the owner for bringing another great restaurant choice to this end of town! read more

Sorry, was too excited to take pics! Hands down, best Greek food in Tally. We got the gyro, Greek fries, avgolemono, whipped feta, and hummus. It was all banging. The gyro was STUFFED with gyro meat!! I'm talking prolly near a lb of meat. It was delicious and will certainly satiate the largest appetite. The Greek fries also really stood out. And you gotta get some extra Yasou magic sauce to dip them in!! read more

Second time here. First time was much better. Had some issues with our Uber eats order the second time, but called and they were more than accommodating so definitely worth the extra star to make it four.

The time was 3 pm on a Saturday, not lunch time, not dinner time, and not in the slightest busy when we arrived. Only 1 couple was at one table and were already eating. I saw 3 people working at that time, a gal at the register, a guy who appeared to be cooking maybe, and some gal who was in the back but not doing much. There were 3 of us, I ordered first. None of us had been here before so we had to take in the menu to understand the offerings. When I asked about what kind of protein can be added to the Mediterranean salad, the gal said "any of our proteins" . Then finally went on to describe 2 different kinds of chicken (prepared with different flavors) and a few other meats. She said one of the styles of chicken would be "quicker to come out, but the other one would take at least 15 minutes to prepare",...that should have been my red flag. What she was actually saying, as it turns out, was, my cook back there doesn't feel like cooking again today until the dinner rush, so please pick the chicken that's already prepared and has been sitting under a hot lamp drying out since 11 am. I picked the quicker option (she fooled me, I admit it), and boy did I pay. I ordered some kind of lemon chicken soup and Mediterranean salad with old dried up tasteless disgusting chicken. The only thing the cash register gal does is punch in your order and then carries your order to the table when it's ready, this is not a waitress or anyone who should expect a tip. However, when you check out, as is the case with every fast food place that is supposed to make your food to order, you pay and the screen asks for a tip at checkout before you even know if you have enjoyed your food or had good customer service. This is a sad epidemic that happens everywhere now and is not unique to this place. I tipped because "I feel bad" if I don't, but am massively dissatisfied almost every time at these types of places. I get my food which was delivered in under 2 minutes, sounds good right? Nope! If they had to prepare the chicken and cook it fresh, it would at least take 5 - 7 minutes. You receive the food on these cheap plastic dishes. My soup was obviously heated up in the microwave for far too long as with my first spoonful, I dreadfully scalded my tongue. Then I tasted the salad with the old dry tasteless chicken, no bueno! It tasted like it was dry and old and tasteless because it was! But, I friggin ate it anyway (can anyone relate?). You find yourself hungry and you just want to eat. So, I filled the pie hole bothered by every bite. It was in a word, TERRIBLE! But wait, there's more... while the others who were with me placed their order, I scoped out a table, of which there were many because no one was there except for the 2 people who were already served. No, not that one, no not that one, no not that one and so forth this went on because every single table/chairs or booth seats were covered in crumbs and smears from the previous diners, and the "lunch rush" had long passed. I took it upon myself to get some napkins and clean the table we decided to sit at. The workers could see me doing this yet no one ran out with a rag and some cleaning spray to not only do their job, put practice appropriate cleaning protocols which are no doubt in place by management (no management present obviously). It was an abysmal experience from start to finish and that is really sad and disappointing. And to remind you I added a tip at checkout to basically be abused and given bad food, shame on you Yasou! And, to boot, they *still* have "please keep 6 feet distance" dots on the floor as you approach the counter. I say, please keep at least 6 feet of distance from ever entering this restaurant. What a disgrace! read more

My dining companion and I enjoyed a lunch at Yasou Café on a recent Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is located in a former Starbucks café, but you can't see signs of its predecessor. The décor is bright, well lit and inviting. We were greeted promptly. I believe the owner prepared our meals. We enjoyed the gyro plate, including hummus and pita, gyro meat over a bed of rice, with tzatziki sauce and a small salad. My companion ordered the beef kabobs and the Greek fries. The fries were hot and crispy and that's a plus! You'd think that's expected, but in this town fries are often warm and soggy. Both our meals were filling and so much so we took half of both home with us. Service was swift and pleasant. We will surely return for either dine in or take out service. Great addition to the Tallahassee landscape of Mediterranean meal options. : ) read more

This place just opened this week, and being a big fan of Mediterranean food, and working nearby, I was stoked to see them open in the old Starbucks location in the Publix shopping center. They worked a long time on their build out, but the place looks excellent. Very clean, modern, and they are very mindful of Covid protocols. Being newly opened, they are still working thru the kinks any new business goes thru, but they are progressing well. Visited day 1 and day 4 and you could see the difference. One exciting thing I cant do durning work hours is take advantage of their surprisingly good beer selection. Nice tap selection for a smaller restaurant, and good local brews too. So I have been 2 times and had both a gyro and the falafel pita and a Greek side salad. The gyro was great and the fries that came with it were awesome. One key thing is they cut their gyro meat the traditional way on the spinning roaster. The falafel pita was excellent but was served cold. Not sure if that was intended, but it was still great. The Greek salad was just a side salad but was a nice size, and super fresh ingredients. Their menu is fairly large and I look forward to giving all of it a try. read more

Friendly service but the food needs work. Ordered the beef kabob and "Greek fries". The beef kabob was cooked well but had zero flavor like no salt at all. The hummus tasted like it was premade from a jar. Also why would you have franks red hot when you are a Mediterranean restaurant? Harissa can be bought from the same place the hummus was I assume. The Greek fries were just cheese fries. No feta no garlic sauce. Not sure if you can call that "Greek" in any way at all. Cleanliness was also an issue. Table and drink cup were greasy. Needs improvement but I can see why it's rated so highly based on the demographic that lives in the area. read more
