“Came in on Saturday and the line was long honestly . I got my food and received amazing service from Nijay and the younger man Dallas .i had no issues with the line it’s when I went to eat my food . I sat by the window booth in the corner I seen the manager his name being Jaylen wipping the lobby lights in the middle of there rush! And as I walked away to get something to drink he stood on the table in front of my food and started to clean the lights spraying blue liquid spray over my food. I asked him to move and he didn’t . So I walked away and went to the other younger man on the line Dallas . I told him what happened and he said he was sorry and go to the manger on cash Nijay being at the time . I told him what happened and Nijay stopped what he was doing and said he was sorry about that and made by bowl over and gave me free pita chips . I appreciate Nijay for helping during this time as I was frustrated . I feel like that manager spraying over food should learn about safety violations and how bad that is . And when I told him what he was doing was wrong he seemed to not care . On top of that when yk there’s a rush you shouldn’t leave two people on the line to struggle ! Go help them instead of spraying over peoples food . The only reason I have this review 3 stars and it one was because of Nijay’s amazing service and dedication to helping me through the line . Thanks again . !“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“Authentic authentic authentic! The best hummus in town.“

“My son Roman came here with a friend, and while we were in Charlotte running errands the day before New Year’s Eve, I told him I was hungry. He said, “Mom, you will love YAFO Kitchen.”
As a top Google Guide & Contributor with over 233 Million views, I’ve eaten pretty much everywhere, but I have to say this: the food here is incredibly tasty. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the toum (garlic spread/dip) is to die for!
I grew up near Detroit, and my mom would frequent the best Mediterranean restaurants, bringing home carry-out on a weekly basis—so I know good Mediterranean food.
During this visit, I introduced myself to the GM of YAFO, whose name is Drex, and told him how much I loved the food & especially the toum. He then introduced me to Alfredo, the chef. It was nearly closing time, but we had a great chat. I told them both that I can’t wait to bring my husband, who is the ultimate critic—he had both a Lebanese and a Greek grandmother, and the food in his household was insanely good. I know YAFO will impress him.
The best part is that I had so much food in my bowl (I ordered the chicken shawarma with multiple toppings, including tabbouleh, and my son had the falafel) that it was enough for lunch the next day.
And let’s talk about the pita bread that came with our bowls. I have never had such fluffy pita in my life.
To my Google viewers: I hope this place doesn’t get too busy to the point we can’t get in—but seriously, just go. Trust me!

“This is easily the best greek food in Charlotte! Every time I come back home to Charlotte, I’m here at least every other day. They have such good quality food, great portions and prices and an amazing staff! I highly recommend supporting this business.“

“Great food. Great service. Kayla was amazing! Thank you for a great birthday with friends“

“It was our first time visiting camp north end and we decided to stop here for lunch and I’m soooooooo happy we did! The food was amazing and so were the drinks. Chris and everyone who worked there were so nice and friendly. We ordered the chicken over rice, chicken shawarma, and the mango drink. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the white sauce on top was exactly how they do it in NYC. This places knows good food, will def be back soon :)“

“My wife and I came here after our wedding yesterday! The decor and ambiance was cozy but also very refined. We had a few more people show up to our after-party than we expected in our reservation, but the staff just pulled over another table for us so would have room. The manager was heading out for the evening when we were seated, but he came back in just to congratulate us and thank us for celebrating with them. He also brought out a bottle of champagne for us, which was an unexpected but very nice gesture. The cocktails themselves were also delicious. We had a wonderful time and I'm sure we will be back again.“

“My dad is visiting and he loves gyros. Even though I’ve never been here, I decided to bring him. It didn’t disappoint! We got the Traditional Gyro and the Salmon Pita. Both were very delicious! The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I’ll be coming back!“

“I came here for the NCAA tournament and my first time in charlotte. The rooftop bar is on point. All the bartenders made great drinks. Shout out to will. Will and I talked about the drinks I like and he mixed up things that weren’t even on the menu and they were the best drinks I have had in a long time. The balance in them was impeccable. I highly recommend to anyone to go to their bar. Great views and even better service“

“very very good food love it“

“The hype is real. Been hearing about this place for years and finally got the opportunity to try it, I'll be back ASAP. Had the chicken and lamb over rice And it was absolutely incredible. Wonderfully tender meat and impeccably aromatic rice. The dare you sauce is absolutely excellent, It's enough heat for a spice lord like myself to feel it but it's well balanced and flavorful so that it's actually enjoyable. I only wish I found myself in uptown more often so I could hit it up more frequently.“

“The food is amazing and the people are so kind! Rabeya is doing a wonderful job!“

“Vegan & Vegetarian friendly .. The falafels are delicious..ordered both the Vegetarian dishes and loved everything. vibes & atmosphere were great & the service 👌 was impeccable, attentive and very friendly“

“There is no greater location that tops the fine cooking found here. The chicken is absolutely delicious! I'm hooked on this place. The friendly attitude of the workers and fellow customers are enjoying and appreciated. This has become my GO TO RESTAURANT!!“

“Awesome food! Love getting combo over salad. Eat from here almost 3-4 days a week.“
