You have better option for Mediterranean food in town including Phoenician,, golden grill and Zaatar. Service was so bad, just threw the food on the table and never came to check anything

The food is soooo good. The rice tastes like a buttery dream. Falafel is moist and well seasoned. 7.99 for a wrap?!? Yes thank you. Staff if really nice too.

Kid-friendliness: Big booths to trap your kid in. The food is kid friendly too.

All I can say is....WOW!! First time here so I ordered two different plates. The beef kabob plate and falafel plate. I do not care for falafel but my husband likes it. Well with that said I tried their falafel and it was amazing. It was flavorful, cook to perfection. And their pilaf was delicious and full of flavor. They're salad was good as well. I do want to mention I am not a fan of hummus. With that said, I did try their hummus, and it was the best I've ever had. It was smooth not grainy or gritty and full of flavor. Now the meat on the kebab. I received chicken beef and some other type of what appeared to be a beef substance like a meatloaf. They all were cooked perfectly. Each different meat was tender juicy and full of flavor. I 100% recommend the food here. I'm excited to go back and try something else. And to the cook at Yafa Grill, you hit a home run with your expertise in the kitchen.

Delicious gluten free gyro meat. Great meal, great service.

Dietary restrictions: Skip the pita and you can easily make this meal gluten free. No vermicelli or pasta in the rice. Had the gyro meat with salad, rice, pickles, hummus, tzatziki- all delicious. Came with pita which I simply skipped. Great job guys.

I was finally able to go here as I have been looking for real shawarma that's cooked vertically and sliced thinly. They have the vertical, so that was cool.

It's very clean and organized inside. I was greated immediately by a friendly young lady. I let her know it was my first time so she was giving me details about what's popular. I man (assumming part of the ownership) came over and explained even more. The conversation was great as you can tell he has pride in his food.

I ended up getting the Mixed Shawarma plate with all salad, a side of falafel and the cake they have. I knew I couldn't eat it all of this food, but I wanted to sample as they are far from where I live.

Chicken shawarma with the garlic sauce is my favorite. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. :( Only because it lacked a little flavor and wasn't sliced thin. I also had too many hard peices.

The beef was great! I usually never get the beef solely because the chicken is usually just better in all shawarma wraps! The hummus was great .. very smooth with no grainy parts. The pita was hard as a rock, so I just bypassed it.

Now, my poor salad. I did not get rice and asked for ALL salad. When I got back to my hotel it looked underdressed. I called because I thought maybe they forgot it, but I was told they tossed it for me which is very nice. When I went to try it I tasted nothing but meat drippings. :( Bummed about that because the salad was beautiful, but I did not get to really experience it. Maybe she thought it was tossed, but it wasn't which is why I called before touching it. It was pretty but looked undressed.

The falafels are hands down THE BEST ever! Now those, I could eat and re-heat. It will be my go to if I return.

The Cake was yummy but was a little hard. I was given the edge slice. However, they wrote a personalized note on the box which I thought was super sweet.

All in all, I will go back sometime. I wish the owner prepared my plate. Maybe it would've been different. :)

Here's my breakdown 1-5:

Chicken Shawarma: 3
Beef Shawarma: 5
Hummus: 5
Pita: 1
Salad: 2
Falafel: 5
Cake: 3
