Yaba’s Food & Middle Eastern Grill

Fresh, delicious food & everyone that works here is kind. The lentil soup, falafel wrap, chicken schwarma & gyros are flavorful as well as filling. Housemade chili sauce is the perfect complement to everything they serve. Look forward to returning, thank you for another great lunch!!

Wonderful neighborhood spot! I get lunch here a couple times a month. The food is always delicious, and the portion & variety in the specials is great. Every ingredient is incredibly flavorful and fresh. Staff is also very nice. Highly recommend.

So amazingly good! This is the spot you go to when you want a filling and flavorful bite to eat on the cheap. I went for the falafel and was not disappointed. It's probably the best falafel in the city. It is not precooked so you'll need to wait a little but it is so worth it. The falafel wrap had a great tahini sauce and wonderful pickled veggies. The lentil soup has a great depth of flavor you usually don't get from lentil soups. The store/restaurant itself is a no frills bodega style interior. Some merchandise in the front and a few tables in the back. To me, this setting tells you the food is going to be amazing. The owner and his family greeted me warmly as soon as I entered. I will definitely be returning in the near future and for many years to come!

Absolutely amazing food and extremely friendly family. It’s inside a convenience store as a heads up in case you think you’re in the wrong place. Head in and enjoy!

It was amazing and they were all named yaba

Great food and great, friendly employees.

Small counter restaurant inside convenient store. Not sure why it has 4.7 rating. Rating should be closer to 4.0 or maybe 4.1. I think it has become too easy to purchase 5-star reviews online. Menu items seem to be made from cans (grape leaves, hummus, baba ganoush). Falafel really heavy, not fresh, like from a pre-made tray. Not light and fluffy. The hummus was okay but heavy.

Their chicken Schwarma sandwich is AMAZING! The sauce is absolutely top notch they also have perfect French fries.

Wow. I was extremely impressed with this food. I’ve been going around to Middle Eastern food spots on the west side for 7 years now, this is one of the best. check it out
