We had a wonderful family style lunch at Yalla. Some of the best middle eastern food we’ve ever tried—still, this Persian food has distinct flavor profiles vs. Turkish, Greek, or Lebanese. Salad was fresh and delicious. All three meats we tried had excellent flavor. We appreciated that there was a lot of flavor but little salt compared with most restaurants. If you need salt, you can just sprinkle more on yourself. This is the way. Excellent non-alcoholic drink selection as well. We loved the kombucha on tap (light flavor) and pineapple malt drink (imported). Counter seating was really nice and owner was very friendly. Thank you for the excellent multicultural experience!
