Simply delicious. I tried the chicken shawarma wrap with no tomato, extra pickled vegetables, and all sauces. It was exactly what I was looking for. Next time, I might request to have the pita grilled and wrapped on both ends. I'll be back!

Came to the island with my Persian boyfriend and we were treated to one of the best Persian restaurants on the island.

Amazing food, super clean location, and amazing service.

I cook regularly and their lamb shank is amazing!

We had a friends gathering and Yalla owner Saeed was hosting and cooking the kebab. It was one of the kind. Original taste of kabab koobideh. It reminded me kababs in Bazar of Tehran. Thank you immensely for your hard work. The taste and aroma took me to Iran’s top ranked kabab places.
Strongly recommend to everyone who is looking for original kabab taste.
