Authentic, flavourful, delicious. Warm and attentive staff. I wish we'd tried the baclava. The hummus is excellent and the saffron rice is cinnamony. Generous portions. A hidden gem.

Yummmmm. I got a chicken dish with a creamy butter and garlic sauce, veggies, and sun-dried tomatoes. The sauce and spices were just right. A mom and daughter-duo cooked and served us. It was a very pleasant experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Yafa! The fact that I've been 4 times in a month says it all. They have some of the best hummus I've ever had! Def try the Yafa combo plate and the chicken shawarma sandwich! It's a small place but the service is good and it's family- owned. Also very reasonable prices!

My friend and I had dinner at this restaurant last night. Let me tell you- this is one of the best meals that I have had in Overland Park. The falafel was absolutely amazing. The Greek salad is huge and absolutely loaded with toppings. The service was excellent. Everybody was so kind and thoughtful. I will certainly be back in the very near future.

This place is really good. We've enjoyed both dining in and take out. Always have encountered friendly staff inside. With all the supply chain issues that restaurants are facing, I'm still amazed by the fresh tasting produce they use in the salad I order.

This place is so good!! Everything is made fresh and with attention to detail from the smooth delicious hummus to the salad dressing. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, salad was so fresh and well balanced. Plus it's a family owned and run restaurant with great service. We'll be back again and again!

Was in the area when I decided I was in the mood for some Mediterranean for lunch. I walked in to order and the staff was both very friendly and helpful when I was debating on what to get. I decided on the lamb gyro with fries to go. The food looked and tasted amazing with the gyro being a good size and fresh and the fries were hot and crunchy. I am definitely glad I stopped here and if this was closer to my home this would be my go to Mediterranean place!

The first time I ate in the restaurant I ordered the Yafa chicken platter. It was delicious and generous portions. The only bad thing was the service. It was slow to serve and the waitress wasn't very service oriented. The second time I ordered to go the same platter and it was as delicious as the first one. I'm sticking to takeout!

The absolute BESt Mediterranean food I've ever had before. Everything was absolutely perfectly made, the baklava is the best I've ever had. The service was outstanding as well, such nice people. You will not regret going!

Excellent service and food. Food is fresh and homemade. Owner is knowledgeable and talented chef, her dishes have seasoned and balanced flavors. As opposed to loads of salt, sugar and preservatives.
I've been looking for an authentic Mediterranean restaurant in the Greater Kansas City area for years and I've finally found Yafa's. Yafa's cuisine is full of incredible flavor and its menu has many options...all, of which, are AMAZING. Batool, the restaurant owner, is so very warm and welcoming as are the hostesses. My mouth begins to water the minute I walk in the door from all the wonderful aromas...let alone, just thinking about the food. It's in a great location in Overland Park and I am so glad this restaurant is in my "own backyard" since I never need to drive very far to get a taste.

Ate lunch here for the second time, and I had the beef and lamb gyro. It was delicious. That is my new favorite sandwich. For my side I've had rice and soup. The rice was fine, and the soup was good. Will try a salad next time. Beat gyro around!

Excellent Mediterranean food. I had the lamb and beef gyro plate with lentil soup. The soup was very tasty. My wife had the vegetarian plate. More than enough. The grape leaves were soaked in something for flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant

One of my new favorite ma and pop restaurants. This place is family owned and operated. The owners are incredibly friendly and attentive. It was really quiet when I went during the lunch hour only one other table. I'm picky about falafel and their falafel was fantastic! As were the dolmas and baba ganoush. I can never get enough mediterranean food especially as a vegetarian because there are so many good options. I used to have to go to midtown for good Mediterranean food but now I can drive less than 5 minutes to get fresh and quality food that supports a small business. It's a win win!

I have tried may Mediterranean places in the metro, but found this place to be the best so far, the food is always great, we have tried tried it many times and it's always the top. I won't let this go without mentioning the people that work there and the owner always nice and friendly. We would go back more and more as long as the food and service is great
