Yala Kabab Restaurant

Thankful for the hands that make these delicious dishes! Warm. Traditional. Made with care & love.Our first visit was excellent; our tummies full and happy. The woman who helped us was kind and pretty sure the hands that cooked our fabulous meal. So for those who are in a hurry... be patient. The wait is worth it. Their chicken mandi is the best I've tasted in the OC area. Flavorful, juicy, just.... Yum. And may I add halal too. Which is always the plus. First timer and definitely going back for more. Restaurant meal but home cooked feel. Looooove.

Stopped by this place after seeing all the reviews. Felt a bit disappointed. When we came in, it was empty, but the wait for the food took maybe 25-30 mins long. The service was poor, we had to ask for water ourselves while waiting, and they brought out water bottles, not sure if that was an extra cost. Food presentation looked good, but it was the driest food have ever eaten. We got the Sawani mixed platter with 2 kebabs and the chicken mandi. The chicken mandi meat and the beef kebab was so dry, it was difficult to eat.

Very nice and cozy place its very comfortable for families the staff were very friendly when it comes to food its really really really tasty i tried Mansaf it was one of the best i ate in any restaurant its like how it made in Jordan tastes fresh thank you for the service.

The food is not good, chicken tasted like roasted chicken from the grocery store, the rice flavor was not great either. Dolmas (grape leaves) were not fresh at all, and likely not made there. Customer service is bad, not need to enter in details.

I don't think they cook anything here from scratch except the falafel maybe n rice?! Everything tasted like either from a can or premade and microwaved. My husband's chicken had hot spots and cold spots and I wish the prices are cheap for that poor quality but nope they charge a lot. The place looked sad and empty and the workers were not motivated at all.

Food was amazing, and definitely filling. Good customer service as well! I come here after work often and food hasn't let me down yet even when trying new things

Great place Create vibe Beat food Highly recommended don't miss out the chance for the best middle eastern ambiance

I ordered take out from here for this first time. The Kabsa was amazing; the quality of chicken and lamb was very good. I'm definitely coming back

Yala Kebab serves some of the best Mansaf I've ever had! The lamb was tender, the rice flavorful, and the jameed sauce authentic and delicious. Great service and a cozy atmosphere highly recommended
