YAFO Kitchen

For fast casual, this place Rocks! Great service and extensive offerings of middle eastern food. We chose the build your own bowl option. I enjoyed the cauliflower rice and super fresh veggies topped with shawarma chicken. With the endless variety offered, I could eat here every day!

OMG! Ordered a build your own bowl, on DoorDash and it was bursting with flavor! I went with the greens and grains base opting for the cumin jasmine rice and spinach & kale mix. My toppings included cucumber & tomato salad, purple cabbage slaw, Sumac onion, chickpea and roasted red pepper salad, Tunisian hummus and Shawarma chicken as my protein. As a sauce girlie I had to have the tzatziki, Lebanese garlic sauce and the Harrissa yogurt. All the flavors meshed together perfectly! I now have a new fav Mediterranean spot and will be adding Yafo to my weekly lunch line up.

This place was shockingly good. Never really had Mediterranean style fast food but if this place was close to my house it would be in the rotation. HahaWe tried the avocado bowl and steak kabobs, freaking delicious. Anyway there's a lot of choices and the sides are great too.

This restaurant is one of my favorite places to get a bowl! I love the Brussel sprouts in my bowl!

Clean quick service place like cava. Served fast and very friendly staff. The ingredients you can tell are fresh and seasoned like Mediterranean food and not bland.Tacos were delicious with it on pita and tender chicken with sauces. The bowls also had more options with Brussels and other veggies for a bowl which I will get next time.

I've had my hopes set high from the great things I've heard and seen about this place, and I was still impressed by the quality of their food and service. Since this was my first time, I had a lot of questions about the process of ordering my food. The workers were extremely friendly, helpful, and patient in answering those questions. The concept is similar to Cava, and they serve Mediterranean fare with Middle-Eastern flavors. I built a bowl, which comes with a choice of spread(s) and 8 cold toppings, but I only got 7 toppings; I wasn't too upset though because of how packed my bowl was already. Everything was so delicious, and my stomach was very satisfied by the end of my meal!

Amazing fast-casual Middle Eastern street food. One of my new favorite casual spots in Charlotte . It's just good ! Everything I tried was fresh and packed with flavor . I really love the fact it's fast food on the go but it's sooooo delicious . I don't know how they manage to be quick and efficient and still offer a quality food product . Just gooooo. The grilled steak kabobs are amazing !! As is the chicken shawarma bowl . Dont skip the sauces !! I tried five sauces and they were all amazing !! My mouth is watering just thinking about it ! I can't wait to go back . Highly recommend!

Yafo Kitchen can be a bit pricey, but the food is always fresh and delicious. I enjoy creating my own bowl with shawarma chicken as my protein, and the pickled onions are my favorite topping.

I really enjoy YAFO Kitchen's illustrious heritage and their middle eastern cuisine. I wanted to sample everything on the menu except the meats, so I opted for the Build Your Own (BYO) Bowl option. Kalamata olives, chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tzatziki, Tunisian hummus, quinoa salad with lemon and cranberries, and cauliflower rice were my cold selections. Macaroni and cheese, potatoes with garlic and oregano, and falafel were my hot selections. I paired it with granch, which is Greek yogurt, and Greek vinaigrette, which is a lemon herb dressing. There was a delightful, new flavor to every bite. According to my kid, the Brussels sprouts were just right. The costs were fair, and the extras didn't break the bank. The parking is terrifying, but the lines for orders are usually short. The meal and service were both excellent. In future visits to Charlotte, FAYO will be my first choice.

The food was OK I ordered the odd version of spanakopita It was served reheated very very disappointed they re-cooked it, and it wasn't crispy, which is in the name. We also shared steak kebabs. They were very tasty cooked well delicious flavor. The mac & cheese was good. The noodles were actually done. It was tasty. The cauliflower was tasty, but the brussels sprouts were mushy.i was told by I think the manager to get fresh food I had to ask for it. I have never been told such a thing at a restaurant. If I eat there again, I guess I have to order fresh food at the beginning of the line.When the food is fresh fried and crispy, it is some of the best you can order also very disappointing when it's wrong over and over after having such good food
