    Incredible brunch! My wife had a champagne style beverage while I had the incredible Turkish coffee. Although they had some tasty pastry items we jumped right in to ordering the Rise And Shine Hummus along with the Gravlax Bagel. Everything was delicious. Will certainly be returning with friends.

    Great food. The only thing we didn't adore was the fried eggplant salad: There was very little eggplant on it, and the dressing was a little unpleasant. But all the other brunch foods we tried were excellent. And the service was terrific. We were very pleased

    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.
