We love this neighborhood restaurant that serves delicious Lebanese cuisine. Many items on the menu are marked vegan which we appreciate!

I had a great time at Yara. It was my first time trying Lebanese food and it was delicious. I feel like the menu was very accessible for a good that was foreign to me. The server was also kind and gave us some recommendations. They were also accommodating to dietary restrictions. My only complain is that my sister and I both asked for no pickles but there were pickles on both of our plates. I would suggest the hummus of course as well as the Mouhamara. The cauliflower was also great! The portions are pretty large and can be shared. They also had live music starting at 8:30 but that may have been for a private party.

Ordered the mix grill and a glass of Lebanese red. The waiter gave me good suggestions for food and wine.

Great gem in the neighborhood, Authentic Lebanese cuisine, great variety of dishes on the menu for both appetizers, entrees or desserts. Cool drinks menu as well, service was really great, staff make sure you get what you need and make the experience even better. Great ambiance, lighting, music, and modern decor.

The staff at Yara were great and the atmosphere nice enhanced by the live music which was the reason why we came to Yara. The food was authentic Lebanese. Delicious!

We had one of the worst dining experiences here. The service was terrible — the person taking our order was unbelievably rude from the start. We sat for over an hour and fifteen minutes waiting for our main courses, even after asking multiple times. Each time we asked, we were met with attitude instead of help.
When we explained that we had a toddler and just needed to know how much longer it would take so we could plan accordingly, the server said, “We have a big party downstairs,” as if our table was less important. That response felt so disrespectful and dismissive.
When the food finally arrived, it was such a letdown. The mixed grill and shawarma were mediocre at best — the meat was dry, tough, and honestly inedible. We couldn’t even finish it.
Between the rude service, long wait, and disappointing food, this place was a complete waste of time and money. Definitely not coming back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Phenomenal time at Yara. You’re greeted kindly by the Maître d' to start off your experience. We sat down and then were immediately welcomed once more by the friendly wait staff. During the meal we were treated a third time by the owner. Overall service was phenomenal and Edder deserves a shout out. Thank you for a great time and we will look for our time back. Bonus points: mints on the way out.

I was looking for a restaurant in the city with Kibbeh nayyeh for the longest time and found it at Yara! The restaurant is beautiful with great ambiance and very warm friendly service that makes you feel immediately welcome. It wasn’t super crowded during lunch time so it was the perfect place to catch up with an old friend. It would be a great date spot too. Norman was very helpful with recommendations!

Food was delicious, we were all please with our selections. Baklava was the perfect treat. Service was quite good but inconsistent - very attentive and helpful server, but then some of a drink was spilled when it was served and no one came to wipe it up, we had to do it ourselves and then request a new napkin! That said, we would definitely return.
