Very friendly staff. Owner was conversational and shared information about the food, ingredients, and history. Very delicious vegetarian options. Pots chips are crunchy and flavorful. I had the falafel deluxe and it was awesome. Falafel was fresh and tasty without being heavily fried. The hummus was another and mouthwatering. Definitely worth the trip!
Vegetarian options: Huge number of vegetarian options.
Excellent falafel and tabouli. Great customer service

I have been here a handful of times and each time the food has been amazing and always made super fresh!
I took my mom for the first time and Murad, our server, was such a great host! Since it was my mom’s first time trying this type of food I appreciated how patient he was while she took some time to make her order, even letting her try some of the baby ganoush!
He let us try the different sauces and we loved the tahini and tzakiki. We both ordered the bowls which were filled to the brim, and all of it came out fresh (he cooked the chicken as soon as we ordered it!) My mom was so happy she found a new favorite spot!
Thank you Murad for such a great experience today, always appreciate when you can tell the restaurant and its people care about their customers ?

10 out of 10 recommend! I’m visiting from out of town and had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Yafa for the first time—and I absolutely loved it! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, which was perfectly mildly seasoned, and the baba ghanoush—seriously, life-changing! For dessert, I sampled a few options, and the chocolate with gold flakes was my favorite, followed closely by the Turkish Delight. I left feeling satiated and refreshed.
As amazing as the food was, the service was just as remarkable. The three young men who served us were a joy to watch in action. They were polite, knowledgeable, and their passion for the food was truly endearing. I only wish there were a Yafa location near me in Utah!

Bad experience with this restaurant, food was not what we expected. The staff working there kept giving us a weird look. I don’t recommend it at all

I don’t live in Lodi I live in Las Vegas. I was getting my nails done so I googled vegetarian and I saw this place and I love Middle Eastern food. Can I just tell you? Sulton & his brother Ali those two young man that helped me they work so good together. I will say this was the best service I’ve had in so long. Oh you need to ask for the the secret chocolate they have it is soooo good. I took a pic my bad forgot to take a picture before starting to eat it. I got the tabuleh and an extra side of the garlic sauce sooo good. I honestly think I might go there before going back to Vegas. I want to try that cucumber salad. I’m telling you you need to go to this place of service good music and they make the food fresh so it’s worth the wait to place that cook the food fresh, I want to meet the dad, but he probably sell me the store probably sell the store lol. Thank you for the great service. Bring one to Las Vegas. But Sulton & Ali I give them 100 stars they are funny. Ali got me wheat sugar for the drink. (Idk what wheat sugar is lol) Happy early birthday Sulton. Oh the treat with rose thingy it’s Sulton fav so I got that omg it’s slap your mama good. That’s the chocolate that is secret it’s a must if u love chocolate shhhhh don’t tell him I told you about the secret chocolate it’s worth it. Oh the different sauce. we need to try them on we are so good.
Vegetarian options: They had a great selection of vegetarian food.
Been here three times, and the food is really good. Last time there I got one of their bowls, and that is the deal. Lots of food, lots of flavor. Friendly people.
Would have given 5 stars, but it is not a cheap meal, esp. if you buy a drink. Tax and tip, you're looking at close to $20.

Today was my second time in and it was even better than the first. I ordered the customizable “Bowl” with hummus, falafel, tomato/cucumber salad, pita & tzatziki- delicious!! My husband ordered the gyro pita and said he would definitely order it again. The staff is very friendly. The music is great creating a casual modern vibe. If you haven’t tried it yet go now-best hummus in town.
Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options. Delicious and healthy too!
Parking: Parking right out front with plenty of spaces.
Our group of six people had stopped by this location prior to heading to a winery in Lodi, CA. Excellent food options & great customer service; I would strongly recommend it if you are in the area.
The employees at the store know how to serve their customers and help fulfill their needs. It’s not just the employees though, it’s the classic yet modern Mediterranean food that completes the cycle. The food is full of life, filled with spices, texture, and flavor to erase anyone’s hunger. The environment is amazing, with the Arabic music bouncing off the walls, where the art and culture of these dishes are displayed showcasing the history of these amazing dishes. If I am ever hungry I know where to go, and I know that each person should enjoy this place at least once in their life time, because I know you won’t regret it, I guarantee it.

BACK HOME STYLE!!! Oh my god this place was amazing. I tried hundreds pf shawarma places around the US, no one makes it like back home. Yafa Hummus does.
And the seasoned fries, man this place was top notch.
And they have house made zaatar chips, pristine.
Their staff were really nice, the restaurant was really clean (you can tell these days) and their prices are not bad considering others and this messed up inflation.
