This was our first time and it was amazing! The service was exceptional, they were all so friendly. The food was great and came out quick. Only issue is we were the only ones there!!! I told the person up front I would tell everyone and post on all platforms to come check this place out because I honestly could find nothing wrong. It seems like a family run restaurant, and Even the young children of the staff were well behaved and in a completely separate area. We’ll definitely come back.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The staff is extremely helpful and amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. I strongly suggest coming here if you want to authentic food that has phenomenal flavors and generous portions. My daughter has a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate for that with absolutely no issues. Roberto explained the dishes to us to help us make our decisions.

Happy to see another Middle Eastern restaurant opening nearby! They still need to iron out a few issues, but we plan to return. We ordered the combo, and the kufta was excellent, so we requested extra. Our second favorite was the beef skewer, followed by chicken. Both the beef and chicken shawarma could use some improvement in cooking and flavor — they were bland, and the beef seemed steamed today, which was different from our last carry out order when it was better. The tabbouleh was outstanding. The fries were crispy and well-cooked. Last time, the rice was good but could benefit from some seasoning. Priced well. The tea selection was perfect, rated 10/10.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and the music added to the ambiance.
To enhance the visit, I suggest dimming the lights slightly, as they are too bright and would look better with softer, warmer lighting—bright white lighting is more typical of hospitals or stores like Walmart. Also, have the server check in more frequently to improve service.

This might be the best Mediterranean I have had in the US. The meats were so flavorful! Everything was delicious! And the portions were great. The baklava was AMAZING AND The staff were so friendly!
I do wish there had been some softly playing Yayemni music playing? That’s the ONLY thing that they could have improved on.
We will for SURE be going back!

I visited Ya Hala Mediterranean Café today and honestly had a great experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, the place gives such a warm and relaxing vibe. Their sitting area is clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up — perfect for enjoying a peaceful meal, whether you’re alone or with family and friends.
The food was the real highlight. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put real effort into every dish. Everything I tried had that true Mediterranean taste that’s hard to find anywhere else.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better with their good service.
Overall, Ya Hala has definitely become one of my favorite spots. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, a nice atmosphere, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The four of us had a great dinner at Ya Hala.The lamb chops are very tender and tasty. My kids like their chicken and beef. The waiter is very attentive and refilled the water several times. We did not wait long at all for our food. We will come back.
