Atmosphere was good they had nice nusic. Mediterranean food is not halal here which is a surprise but it is not considered for my rating as I ate the fish and the party I was at ate the kebabs. All kebabs were dry, service was very slow, but the fish was ok but definitely not worth the $50 a person. They charge an extra 4% for “humane and locally sourced food” which I think is ironic because there is no halal food except for the occasional lamb but is cooked in alcohol. Gratuity is automatically charged 20% but they don’t say how many people before it is charged, they charge based on their discretion.

Such a calming & relaxing environment for a delicious meal. Our party ordered the pear salad & pits with hummus for appetizers which was delicious. For entrees we tried chicken kabobs which were cooked very well and paired with tasty tzatziki, and the salmon which felt like the best we had ever tried. The service was also very good!

Service was great and very attentive but the food took a really long time to come out. It was also very dark inside the restaurant.

This is a little hidden gem with something for everyone!! So many great appetizers and salads to choose from but we settled on the lebanese style hummus - wow! And the weathermen salad! If you don’t get as a salad, save as a dessert and the lamb shank was over the top!

We went to Yafa as I am originally from the city of Yafa in Palestine. We ordered two salads, an appetizer and two entrees to share between 5 people. The food was more than enough and it was delicious. The service seemed a little off but was still really good. The restaurant is on the smaller size, we sat right in front of the door of the restaurant right under the speakers. The door brought it a very cold breeze and the music was uncomfortably loud at some point. Overall, we would absolutely visit again and highly recommend Yafa, I would just request an inner table further away from the door.
I was shown plenty of hospitality and personalized service for my vegan needs! Thank you.

I came with my family from Turlock and we were all hungry and starving. The plates were filled with food and we were constantly being checked up on to make sure we were okay. The way they speak to their customers is amazing they are so kind hearted and generous. They even gave us complementary baklava on the house. Absolutely amazing restaurant and will be coming back for every visit. Thank you so much every single employee at Yafa.
