Yalla Mediterranean

Had a grilled chicken salad. This place is great because is fast, food is fresh and the restaurant is clean. Salad size is generous and the amount of toppings is vast. Protein should be more added though. Hummus variety is great too. In general, this place is highly recommended. Loved it.

This place is okay for a quick bite. I had the Chicken, meat (tri - tip) and fish here. The meat is way too spiced to the point that all I could fuste were the spices. don't order that. The Chicken is decent, not the best or very good but edible (this is not the shawerma) and the fish (salmon) was okay, but most of the pieces were very thin, so they dried out fast and burned. The fish had almost no flavor to it, very bland taste. Overall, would not reccomend and only come here if you are desperate. Portions vary by visit, first time Igot a lot but second time I got a lot less. Hummus is okay, and the other side items kinda suck. Not a lot of Variety and most side items are poorly made. Fries are terrible, small portions as well.

Easy dine in for Mediterranean meal. It's like chipotle Mediterranean ver. Evan, one of the staffs here, super passionate and kind with great customer service, he should be a manger or something. Very responsible employee even though he was working alone. Highly recommend this place. I come here at least once a week.

Love this place! Awesome price for the amount of food you get. ($12 for a power greens bowl with chicken schwarma, including $1 rice addition) This bowl has kale and cabbage, a generous dollop of meat, candied apricots and feta cheese. Vinegar eye Dressing is very flavorful, not too lemony. Really satisfies my Mediterranean cravings. Pita is light and fluffy and served warm! Quick service, parking lot has a few spaces open always.

I don't know if it's because we came 1.5 hours before they closed so the staff had just given up, or if it's usually this way but the food wasn't good at all. I got a grilled chicken plate with rice and roasted veggies and baba ghanoush, carrots and tabouleh as sides. The portion sizes were small - not enough chicken at all. The rice had run out by the time I came to order so they asked if they could bring me fresh rice in 5 minutes. The rice arrived cold (how?) And tasted like microwave rice. For those looking for halal options, they have halal chicken, but their steak is not zabiha. Chose this place for the convenient location but honestly it wasn't worth it

Big selection of unlimited sides and sauces. Very good food and for $13 I got easily 2 meals! This is my go to spot from now on!

Really good Mediterranean selections and fresh cafeteria style served sides. You can taste many different things in little portions for a great price

This is a fast casual joint with well made, fresh healthy food and good service. I imagine the rest of the locations follow the formula, but I specifically went to the Burbank Empire Center location. Items are available as a pita sandwich, platter or salad. They also offer bulk platters for family meals. Meals are about $10. If I worked nearby, I'd frequent here or get takeout for dinner. For a lone traveler stuck in one of the hotels adjacent to this shopping center as I was, this is a healthy alternative to the strip mall restos like Olive Garden. They have $5 draft wines and beer as a bonus and the ambiance is chill enough to make it a casual dinner spot. Of my meal: The falafel was cooked perfect. I got the Shalafel which gets you half falafel, half chicken shawarma. For veg sides, I had carrots slaw and beet kale salad, were both flavorful and tasted farm fresh. I also chose the lentils and rice. My platter came with so many sides I actually skipped the pita, definitely a full value meal. They also claim local sources of the ingredients. Unlike *some other chains, in this case I believe it. The ingredients truly tasted farm fresh. Dessert choices are simple but appropriate: baklava, chocolate chip cookie or Greek frozen yogurt-which you can get baklava crumbles on! I wish I'd had room. Oh did I mention they have great service? Employees were friendly and efficient. Two of them double checked that I didn't want my pita and offered to bring it out if I changed my mind. Yalla is doing lots of things right. They get the rare 5 stars and I hope they keep it up.
