YAFO Kitchen

Shared on Google & thought to share on here also. Visited this location today and enjoyed a delicious chicken with 2 sides. Very generous food portions. I also love their made in house drink options. Pleasant atmosphere and staff. Lots of parking. I'm glad a friend introduced me to Yafo Kitchen.Blessings,Pastor Michelle866-987-772924/7 free prayer line

We recently discovered Yafo Kitchen and have fallen in LOVE. This is elevated cuisine that takes a Cava or Chipotle a farrrr step forward.The food tastes pretty healthy and just flavorful. In the couple times I've gone, I've had bowls, kebabs, mac and cheese and more!There hasn't been a thing that I've gotten that I haven't absolutely loved.The service is great, they are patient with a newcomer and gave me plenty of recommendations that I took and didn't regret. We've gone with friends and enjoyed dining in and the atmosphere that they have in their spot.Would definitely recommend if you like Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, to give YAFO a try!

I went here on a Monday and found myself right back the next day lol! The first time I went I got the byob w/salmon it was really good everything tasted super fresh and it was so filling. Service was great I let them know it was my first time and they were pleasant and helpful. I ate there that day on the patio and the scene was nice and chill. The next day I got a hot plate to go. I got the 1/2 rotisserie chicken w/greek mac n cheese and brussel sprouts! First off the brussel sprouts are AMAZING! Idk how they do it but it's a perfect char with a great sweetness to it I loved it! I will definitely be a regular here. Sidebar I would recommend this location over the plaza midwood one. I tried to go there my second time around and found myself fighting for parking for at least 15minutes pmo so bad that I just bit the 15 minute drive to go back to this location!

SO GOOD. I had the chicken tacos and they were delicious and very well priced. Thought the restaurant was clean and the staff was helpful. Can't wait to go back!

Greetings to those who are reading this! Wanted to take a minute to express my thoughts about my visit to the Yafo/Dilworth - East Boulevard location. My wife prefers this location for the kind and helpful staff that are working at this spot. SouthPark team was a bit unfriendly to her - Attitude! - She's sensitive - so what can I say. We live in the City Park section of Charlotte - It is truly a food desert. Anyways - 2 Thumbs Up - This is truly the spot if you want to get your "Fix" of Israeli/Mediterranean food. The Schnitzel is crispy and delicious; - Just like you would find if you were visiting Tel Aviv. My wife typically picks up from this location several times per week; - We have "Incorporated" Yafo into our "Dinner Rotation" - We are two working professional and just don't have the time to cook. I personally am well versed in Israeli Food ;-) "Shalom Habibi" - Just tried the Falafel yesterday and was truly amazed at how delicious it was. Thank G-d for Angel Pita! - Looking forward to trying the Steak/Beef; - Just haven't gotten around to it. I understand that they have a Brunch and serve the famous Israel Brunch - Shakshoukah - However, I can't confirm this and it seems that different options are available at different locations. Anyways, the Dilworth location can get busy; - This is great - as it seems that food is moving quick and things are definitely fresh and well prepared. Israeli's are loud people and that seems to be the case @ Yafo; - Staff are alive and active - Shouting out orders. This may be the South; - but - you are definitely stepping into Israel when you walk into Yafo - So, don't be afraid to assert yourself. Where am I going with all of this? The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. I tip my hat to Shai Fargian - Who is without question a Culinary Genius; - Shai, "Habibi" - you have really duplicated the experience. Well done! Would avoid ordering from Yafo, via Doordash or any of those "Lazy" Services - Best, to come in and experience it. I believe my wife was introduced to Yafo from their generous sponsorship of an event in the Charlotte schools. Anyways - A+ - OMG, how could I forget. I want to send a special "Shout Out" to the Dilworth Team - Especially, "Athena" & "Vanessa" - Thank you for being so kind, accommodating and patient with me this week. I've been a bit slow, being that I was not expecting this "Greatness" that I walked into, while recovering from Hand/Elbow Surgery! Toda Raba! - - Thank you Yafo for going out of your way to respect my observance of Kosher.

My new favorite fast casual restaurant! What's nice is you can order meals other than a bowl. Let's be real, it's 2024 and there's a bit of bowl fatigue with all the Chipotle mimics that have blown up in the last 10 years. I sampled a bit of everything and it was all delish. My favorite things were the chicken schnitzel with the cauliflower and tahini side, and the harissa dressing on my salad. Also, you can get grape leaves which I love! I will be back more than I'd like to admit.

I like the food here and love how they have healthy options. The staff are friendly fly and courteous. My only concern is that since the summer is here and people begin to sit at the outdoor seating that the servers will do a better job at cleaning outdoor tables. As we ate lunch today there was a table in the far corner that appeared to not have been cleaned in a very long time. Our table had hair on it and it was a windy day. For hair to have been stuck to the table, it hadn't been cleaned. The floors had leaves and debris. Please keep the patio clean where customers will come to sit. It's a nice area in Dilworth, please keep it nice for the customers. Thank you

Never. misses. You can tell they make their food in house and always use the freshest ingredients!! They actually fill up your bowl with good portion sizes. Service is good, ambience is relaxing, fun, and inviting.Truly 10000% better than Cava & Mezeh and I will choose YAFO over them any day of the week!!!Tip: get their Greek Yogurt Mac & Cheese, you will not be disappointed

Whenever I am craving some good Mediterranean food, Yafo is my first choice. It is on the pricier side, but the food makes it worth it. Their falafel is always so warm and has just the right amount of crunch to it. I always get their BYOB and add greens with rice and all the toppings I can choose from cucumber tomatoes salad, chickpea salad chicken, and falafel. It's always a favorite, and it gets me full all the time. Everyone from the staff is super friendly and very efficient. They get that line moving. It's a small, cozy location. They have outdoor seating as well. It's definitely a good lunch spot, even if you're on the go.

YAFO is one of our favorites. The family meal packages are perfect for our larger get togethers with cousins and grandparents, and the smaller package is perfect for our family of 3 to have a large dinner and leftovers! I love that everything is so customizable -- with our different food needs, everyone has a dinner they can/want to eat, and we don't have to cook 5 different meals!The service at this location is always top notch. Everyone is knowledgeable and helpful, and no matter what time of day or week, it has never been understaffed. Sometimes with the larger packages, I will need to wait on a batch of fries or the chicken that is coming out. It is never long, and the staff put everything together that I will need so quickly! The restaurant, food service areas, kitchen, and counters are always clean and well stocked. I never have complaints here!
