    We love visiting Yalla, it’s our favorite date night spot. The food was amazing as always and our server was super good with my husband’s gluten allergy!

    I had a private note to send to Yala and was unable to send it unless I filled this portion out, but I do not wish to write a review.

    Excellent food, each dish a great combination of textures and colors, and well seasoned. Complex but not fussy. Good service, reasonable prices. The bar was a little loud but otherwise pretty perfect.
