Yala Kabab Restaurant is a standout gem for lovers of Levantine cuisine—especially for those seeking authentic Mandi, Mansaf, kebabs, and mezze served with warmth and tradition. The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.

July 2025

The food was exceptional at Yala Kabab Restaurant! We thought we were back in the Middle East as the smells and tastes took us back to the amazing and exotic cuisine of Arabia! The Arabic food there was delicious, especially the hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the lentil soup and the fattoush. Chef Luka and waiter Hamza welcomed us with open arms and gave us their true Arab hospitality as did their awesome friends Rami and Mohammed. We highly recommend visiting this fine...

Shawerma taste like anything but shawerma with a lot of cardamom (7abahan) flavor in it , not recommended.
Kofta was good and chicken was decent.
But they are so friendly and nice 👍🏻
