    Lamb Chops
    Dave F.

    This family run restaurant is an excellent find packed with excellent flavors and service. While browsing Yelp, I was on the hunt for somewhere new that I'd never been. After stalking the pictures of Yucca Grill, I knew this was the place to try. I ordered a few appetizers from the hummus to the tzatziki to the cheese with honey. While it was all great, nothing prepared me for the awesomeness of my entree - which was the lamb chops. The flavor was magical, the food was hot, and it was such a find...especially being so close to where I live. As I ate my food, I looked at the tables around me. I admired owner folks' plates which convinced me I have to get back to Yucca Grill and work my way through the menu. Come early, the place isn't large. It has a nice chill feel to it. Ready to go back sooner rather than later!!

    Red Lentil Soup

    June 12, 2025 Update: In my opinion and based on our experience. Sadly, an underwhelming experience at dinner. Ordered Kapoglu as appetizer, Aryan for drinks and Falafel Plate and Manti for entrees. Service was welcoming but a bit forgetful/distracted even though the place was empty. Kapoglu was fine although the quantity seemed to have decreased. Falafel was crispy but flavorless/under salted and the expensive Manti had more pasta than meat (tiny bits of meat). Overall, left disappointed...the whole meal for two with tip set us back $52. Pricey for what was on offer. If returning, would stick to the staple Kebabs/grilled meats, which though equally pricey, were flavorful and plentiful.

    Quiet neighborhood restaurant with very friendly staff. Complimentary fresh hot bread. We enjoyed the Yucca Mix Grill platter of meats. This allowed us to try an assortment of meats. The lamb chops are AMAZING, along with the lamb shish and chicken kulbasti. Super tender and loaded with flavor. Ended the meal with a deliciously custardy rice pudding.

    My kids absolutely love this place and that makes for a pleasant dinner experience. We love the Yucca Mix Grill since it has a variety of meats, veggies, some rice , and pita bread (feeds 2-3). The mint lemonade is very refreshing and the grilled halloumi with honey is also very tasty. Our kids wanted to try some shrimp, so we also ordered the garlic shrimp appetizer. The staff was happy to help out and kept up with the busy evening. There were quite few folks doing pick up orders. They also have outdoor seating available. We will keep coming back.

    This spot is truly a hidden gem, the food is amazing and I recommend everybody try it. The chicken kulbasti was fantastic, the chicken was so juicy and fresh and super flavorful, probably some of the best chicken I've had. All of the vegetables were delicious as well. Everything is so well seasoned, you won't need any sauce on the side. However, I wanted to try the tzatziki here and it did not disappoint, it complimented the dish very well!

    Manti is delicious! My husband loved the lamb chops. Great staff and ambiance. One of the most charming place in the area.

    Ambiance: Bright/airy & trendy grill located off Louetta serving Turkish cuisine! I loved their interior decor. Great for lunch, a date night, family dinner, or quick bite. The food was amazing! I loved the crispy chicken wrap. The hummus appetizer plate was very good. Onsite parking. Fast & friendly service! Highly Recommend if you are looking for a Turkish restaurant in the area.

    Chicken caprese

    The food tastes incredible. Tastes like an elevated home cooked meal - not greasy, well seasoned and simple ingredients. It feels impossible to eat out and eat healthy but this place hit the spot. The portions are massive. Definitely split or you'll get to enjoy it twice. Highly recommend.

    Beyti Kebab
    Susan P.

    Turkish? Well I never, so today was a first and a delightful one at that. Similar to Greek and yet different, this is a memorable experience available locally that will make you forget where you are and transport you to Turkey. Hospitality is key and Alper exudes old world charm and youthful exuberance, guiding us through the menu as only a foodie can. We started with appetizers, a halloumi cheese baked and cover with honey that was fantastic though a bit salty for those with sodium restrictions. I found it an amazingly well done combination of sweet and savory. We also enjoyed the complimentary bread basket accompanied by a roasted tomato/pepper combination that made me never want butter. Our last starter was a minced lamb/beef kibbeh bulgar combination that was reminiscent of a boudin ball that was a savory delight. Our main courses were stunning. I opted to try the Adana kebab which featured a skewer of ground beef and lamb. The spice level was hotter than I anticipated and I was unable to tolerate more than a bite or two. Others at my table sampled it and did not find it incredibly hot so I know it was a me thing. I had them box it up so I could allow my son to enjoy it. Others at the table had the beyti kebab and enjoyed it tremendously. We also had the Chicken Kulbasti which featured chicken thigh meat and various vegetables which was tender and flavorful. Lastly, since I knew the spice issue was me and not them I dove into the house burger. The burger is a carnivore's delight featuring a patty enrobed in Demi-glacé, beef rib meat and a slice of roast beef, caramelized onions and mushrooms. Can we say umami?

    On a scale from 1-10 how happy am I to have another halal restaurant here in Spring?? The number is too high-- it is way up there-- because I am absolutely ECSTATIC to have another halal place in Spring. We've been waiting and we have the community, and finally they have arrived. I love the decor upon entering the place, but sadly did not take pictures because we were very hungry (and late to meet up with our family). Beautiful green walls and flowers among the restaurant was a great welcome. The humus, had a fine taste to it but I especially like the chicken and the salad that came. I also enjoyed the lentil soup. I usually get the one from down the road (starts with a z), but this was great too. I have to say that I like the customer service. Yes, the food was delicious, and there are more reviews about that, but I have young children and I appreciate when wait staff are helpful and attentive to them. This is what made me want to review and spread the good word. (In my best shark tank voice): And for that reason, Yucca--I'm in.

    Had a lovely experience celebrating my brothers graduation! The food was 10/10 and the service was truly outstanding as well. I will definitely be coming back to this beautiful spot!!

    This is my delicious Chicken wrap.

It absolutely was. The food and service were outstanding. They were out of doner when we arrived, but honestly, everything else we tried more than made up for it. Within about 10 minutes, the restaurant was pretty packed, so we clearly just arrived at the perfect time. We started with a bread basket served with fresh breads and an incredible tomato oil--simple, bold, and completely addictive. We had falafel with a creamy sauce (possibly yogurt or garlic-based) and stuffed grape leaves with olive oil, both beautifully done. Every dish came with fresh lettuce, lemon, thinly sliced onions that had clearly been soaked to remove the harsh bite, and a bright pickled cabbage that tied everything together perfectly. We also had lahmacun, which was deeply flavorful and incredibly satisfying. We were treated to complimentary Turkish tea and a meatless dish on the house, and I have to say--if you don't eat meat, you are not missing out on flavor at all. I grew up a meat eater, so I was genuinely surprised by how rich and delicious it was. I only wish I remembered the name so I could order it again. And then dessert... kunefe. Crispy shredded pastry, warm cheese, pistachios--easily one of the top 10 dishes I've ever eaten in my life. I usually hate mint in food, but two of the dishes included it and completely changed my mind--fresh, balanced, and done right. This place is a true hidden gem and one of my favorite dining experiences. I will absolutely be back, even if it's out of the way. Highly recommend.

They were out of the chicken shish kebabs so I opted for the salmon. The salmon was flavored well, and I love the taste of the mild chard grill. My mother enjoyed her beef tenderloin kabobs.

Very homey and family-oriented. My favorites are the gyro plate with salad and basmati rice. For anyone who loves hummus, I recommend branching out and trying the muhammara. Roasted red pepper, garlic, pomegranate molasses, walnuts...it's a hidden gem, I don't even know how those flavors work together. The halloumi cheese is good; it tastes just like a mozzarella stick without the breading, my go to low carb option. On the flip side the rice pudding was a miss for me. The rice was al dente and the pudding itself lacked flavor. The beef shawarma had decent seasoning but came out dry and chewy. What I appreciate about Zara's is the variety. There's a wide selection of dishes, so there's something for everyone, and the drink menu is just as extensive. They don't serve alcohol, but the mocktail section is worth a try. If you're into hookah, they offer that as well. My biggest gripe is consistency. When the food is good, it's really good but there are times it feels like it's been reheated, and that's disappointing. When I first found this place, it was always spot on. Lately, not as much. Cleanliness is another concern. My husband once spotted a roach by his side. One roach wouldn't normally bother me..it happens..but after reading several similar reviews, it makes me question the cleanliness. All in all, Zara's is a great low-key neighborhood spot but not everything on the menu is a winner. I never had a problem with the service, and when there was something wrong they're more than willing to accommodate you and rectify the situation.

I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.

The food was stellar across the board and the service was top 5 of our entire lives. Shortly after this visit, we found out that they also had a location in the Willowbrook area, which is a lot closer to us. And my wife's parents love Italian food, so we were hoping to go as a group in the very near future. Well fast forward from 2023, all the way to 2026, and we finally made this happen. I was super excited to show off the place that I'd talked up for nearly 3 years. Unfortunately, this was nowhere near that experience. Overall, we still enjoyed it to a degree, but it was certainly not worth the 40-45 minute commute for us, and even longer for my in-laws. I went back to refresh my memory and read my original review. We ordered three things that totally blew our minds: chicken parm, seafood lasagna and the prosciutto and mozzarella pizza. So that's what we ordered here. I'll start off with the biggest miss: the chicken parm. This is what I said about it from my first visit: "This was explained as not a typical chicken parm dish, as the chicken breast is stuffed with a bunch of things. And I think it's good for people to know that so they aren't given something so far different from way they expect, but I am here to tell you that this is BETTER than classic chicken parm. Sometimes chicken can dry out, but this stuffed chicken breast was anything but dry. Every bite was just ideal. Again, don't come here without ordering this." Here, it was the polar opposite. Dry and bland. The pasta seemed like it had been boiled and that was it. There was no flavor to it. I don't think I can give this anything beyond 2-stars, and that might be generous. The pizza was extremely basic cheese pizza that just happened to have prosciutto on top. This sounds over the top, but this might as well have been Chuck E. Cheese pizza other than the prosciutto. Again, I'll be generous and offer 3-stars. The saving grace is that the seafood lasagna was awesome. An easy 5-stars on this one - no complaints at all. If you simply come here, enjoy the great bread they bring out, and order the seafood lasagna, you'll have a great experience. I hate to give such a negative review, especially for a place I was so pumped to visit, but it was a pretty night and day experience from the other location.
