This place had a very good food that tastes like real food! it’s clean and the location is upstairs. You order from the screen, very convenient. good portions. The only reasons for giving them 4 star instead of 5 is two things: 1) there is too much sauce on the food making it soggy…for sure I recommend getting sauce as a side. 2) almost everything is extra cost…several toppings, every protein…so the minimum price of a bowl with protein is about $15-$16. Still reasonable ..but I think at this price point they should offer 5 free toppings regardless of what you choose. To be honest though I was a bit surprised by the very high rating of this place (4.9) as the food definitely has room for improvement.
Overall I recommend it and I am looking forward to try more of their menu.

I was introduced to Yaba’s over the summer and immediately was drawn to the atmosphere. The menu has a good variety for anyone regardless of experience with Middle Eastern food. The staff was nice and truly appreciated any support or purchase. I brought a couple of friends back there and it was the same amazing experience and they said they would be back. You get good value for the food you purchase too! I absolutely recommend Yaba’s.

Hands down, one of the best shawarmas I’ve had in a long, long time. The flavors were incredibly authentic—took me right back to the taste of shawarma in Saudi Arabia. Perfectly seasoned meat, soft warm bread, and all the right sauces. You can tell they know what they’re doing. If you’re craving a real Middle Eastern street food experience, Yaba’s is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We are in town for a wedding. This place is just behind our hotel. The owner was super friendly. The Shawarma was delicious! The falafel was also super yummy! This was a neat experience because when you walk in you walk up a flight of stairs to the restaurant so if you have problems with stairs or in a wheelchair, it will be VERY difficult to get up! 10/10 place!

Wow! I’m very happy that we have this in our city as a halal option. The menu has a pretty decent selection to choose from. You can get a premade bowl or you can make your own. The food was extremely delicious. I enjoyed almost every single bite. The only thing I didn’t like was the aioli, it was too much for me but everything else was beyond delicious. The two men that were working were very helpful, they even gave us a sample of their lentil soup. Everyone I came with was very happy with their food. Definitely will be coming back.

Was looking for a quick place to eat before a concert at PPG Arena and our hotel (Cambria). Holy cow did this place deliver! It was super speedy but some of the best shawarma I’ve ever had! The grilled almonds and baba were also super flavorful. Loved the make your own bowl, highly recommend this place!!

Great spot for Middle Eastern cuisine. I stopped by on a Tuesday night, and although the place was unusually empty, the shawarma was delicious. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite.
