The best shawarma I have had since I came to the US! Loved it so much!!

Not a 5, but more than 4 regarding the food! Definitely will go back.Vegetarian options: Had the falafel wrap, the falafel could have been warmer, but the cold veggies could've been the culprit.

Great little place near McPherson Square that serves pitas, wraps, and bowls. Served deli-style. Just select your base and walk the line to choose your veggies and toppings. Quick, friendly service. This is vegetarian friendly. I will return for my lunch break.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options to add to your (V)protein base.

Yafa Grille is wonderful - very tasty salad and rice bowls you can build yourself with meat or falafel and a large selection of yammy toppings. Super friendly and incredibly kind staff. Highly recommend!

Yafa Grille on I Street in DC is a great place to go for delicious food that is flavorful and well prepared. I really like the location and everything that they offer here. The staff here is very friendly and efficient at getting everything together when you order. Good experience coming here.

They don’t have Shawerma , it’s Pre made Gyro , the store looks depressing, dark and nothing fresh !! Very disappointed ☹️

This place is CLOSED. We arrived at 6:01 on a Thursday. Walked many blocks - but it is closed. Their hours are even scratched out on their door.

Their rice bowls are 10000000 times better than Chipotle's.

The guy was super rude. We walked out without eating. Do not recommend.

I used to frequent this eatery a lot when I worked in DC and was never left dissatisfied. The owner is hardworking and deserves all the business he can get.

This is always one of favorite places to grab lunch to go. The food is super fresh and tasty. The staff is also very helpful and nice. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

This place was across from our hotel. We had just flown in and were hungry for lunch. Due to COVID, they only offered take-out but we could take the food to our hotel room. We both ordered chicken Shawarma plates and they were loaded down with all sorts of goodness. In fact we omitted the rice because there were so many veggies, pickles and spreads with the chicken. There was so much food we ate the leftovers for dinner the next night before going to a show. The owner told us he was really struggling with the decreased lunch traffic since many Washingtonians were still working from home. He closed some branches and was now only opened till 2 pm. That’s a shame because Yafa really is excellent and cheap.

Owner or Staff I dont know who is the gentleman works behind of expo. He was Rude. Almost I got kicked out from the place. He says no inside !! Anyway, I got chicken bowl, it was not fresh just tiny bit chicken was inside of the bowl. I didnt get full. And 1 bowl + 1 drinks $14 expensive!! Btw put some sign where line starts.
