What customers say?

“ The food is delicious and the restaurant is simple and nice. Service is good. They also offer a buffet for Iftar on weekdays during the holy month of Ramadan. However, we reached late on that day and hence will be going there again to try the buffet. ”

“ The food was exceptional at Yala Kabab Restaurant! We thought we were back in the Middle East as the smells and tastes took us back to the amazing and exotic cuisine of Arabia! The Arabic food there was delicious, especially the hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the lentil soup and the fattoush. Chef Luka and waiter Hamza welcomed us with open arms and gave us their true Arab hospitality as did their awesome friends Rami and Mohammed. We highly recommend visiting this fine establishment and eating their wonderful food. ”
