Phenomenal food. Great service. Some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had and I'm Lebanese.
EXCELLENT resataurant. The menu is varied and the food is authentic and delicious. Restaurant staff is welcoming and patient. A truly wonderful place that I continue to frequent and continue to be satisfied. Charming ambiance and a wonderful venue for a small intimate dinner or with a large group. I highly recommend Yara.
Fue bueno, la comida bien solo que extremadamente vinagrada para mí y me cortó el apetito para los platos principales!

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.
