"This takeout window on E Olive Way that opened in 2019 is known for its saj bread wraps with fillings like awarma (beef confit) and jibneh (a soft white cheese). Normally a late-night destination for those stumbling out of local bars in the vicinity, it’s now more of a solid takeout lunch spot for Capitol Hill denizens." - Eater Staff
"Great for late nights out or a quick lunch, the menu at this takeout window next to Montana Bar in Capitol Hill consists of a variety of tender saj wraps (saj is an Arabic flatbread) that come filled with Middle Eastern staples, from awarma (ground beef confit) to za’atar spice and labneh. Yalla’s owner and chef, Taylor Cheney, designed the menu around the recipes and techniques she learned while living and cooking across the Middle East and often does pop-ups with menus dedicated to the regional cuisines of individual Middle Eastern countries." - Alana Al-Hatlani
"Chef Taylor Cheney organized fundraising for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and worked to raise visibility for Palestinian Americans in Seattle." - Eater Staff
"Yalla is a great takeout window that serves Middle Eastern wraps on homemade flatbread filled with everything from lamb and pomegranate molasses to za’atar and labneh. But if they have the cheesy kefta sandwich on special, you’re going to want that, especially with a nice side of crispy falafel. And if you’re also looking to bulk up your pantry, they sell olive oil, spices, and tahini. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
