    Excellent service and ambiance. Our server was prompt and helpful in making selections. We ordered 5 dishes for 3 people, each being delivered as they were prepared (tapas style). All the food was excellently prepared. We shall return.

    Yalla is a consistently wonderful experience. You always go back for the quality of food, ambiance, and service. Don’t miss the hummus with beef tips.

    The host was incredibly kind and accommodating to our party. I made a reservation that didn’t really fit our needs due to availability. The host bent over backward to adjust plans to fit us in. The food was amazing, like always, and the service was wonderful throughout. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    This place is SO GOOD! Loved everything we had! Had been to Shalom Y’All but never Yalla. From the drinks to the appetizers to the mains to dessert, everything was perfect. Am already plotting my return!
