Yummy! Some of the best hummus I've had. Sabra who? Yeah I said it. Yafa Hummus is for sure one of…read moremy favorite places to grab a bite in Lodi right now. They have so many fresh, healthy options and I'm never waiting long for my very vegan friendly food. We like to order the build your own bowls, me with my falafel and he with his various meats. You can fit so many things in that bowl for $15. Enough food for two meals, and the ingredients are high quality. Win win. I like to do a salad base with my bowl (though one could choose rice or hummus base) with either the Mediterranean salad or the kale slaw, falafel, pesto hummus (all their hummus is fantastic), and whichever additional salad I didn't pick for the base. The Greek salad is also good just not as good as the other two in my opinion. Falafels are small but made to order and absolutely delicious. I do wish I could get moar in the bowl but I get it. I'm always willing to pay for quality food. Pita on the side is a must (comes with the bowl) and if you're feeling extra snacky they have tasty pita chips as well (additional cost, not included with bowl). Sauce is boss here as well. You get two with the bowl. The only one I don't care for is the vegan tahini but it's there if you want it. I love the tzatziki and creamy garlic sauces. The garlic is probs my fave. Don't want the bowl? They've got platters, snacks, fusion stuff, smothered fries, and wraps among other things. Dang it I'm hungry writing a Yelp review again. Such a problem. Anyhoo. We've eaten inside before but usually take our order to go for lunch. Customer service is solid and efficient. They have a clean dining area and self serve soda machine. No bathroom report notes as I've yet to partake. Vegan friendly spot too. Def come by hungry! Thanks Yafa.

I like Yafa a lot. The value is there considering quailty of what you get…read more I like getting bowls. It's $15 bucks you get a protein choice with a base (such as rice or greens) 2 sides, pita, and 2 sauces. I'll take rice, gyro/ chicken, that hot sauce and tzitziki. Garlic sauce is also fire. One of the side choices gotta be that tasty hummus. It is Yafa Hummas, after all. Then trying the rest of the sides. The rice hits. The Mediterranean salad hits, the baba ganoush hits. Yafa is in the rotation for sure.

The service truly made us feel well taken care of. The food was delicious, and all of the recommendations were spot on. We especially loved the appetizer platter that included hummus, tzatziki, bruschetta, and other tasty bites--it was the perfect way to start our meal. The portions are very generous, and everything was full of flavor. My personal favorites were the seafood pasta and the special Alfredo pasta, both of which were absolutely amazing. There was no wait, the ambiance was pleasant and inviting, and the overall dining experience exceeded our expectations. Friendly service, flavorful food, and large portions make this a place we'll definitely be coming back to!

The pita bread was also so fresh and light with the veggies. The service was great! Workers here greeted us with big smiles and continuously check on us. The decor is also beautiful inside with gorgeous paintings and interior designs. Lots of space and room for big parties too. The price wasn't too bad either -- $25 for two delicious entree plates that usually are more expensive at other persian restaurants. You can't beat that!

Kolbeh Kabob serves Persian and Mediterranean cuisine…read more Language barrier issues with our server affected my ability to order what I wanted, led to an upsell, and prevented me from separating or splitting the bill. Server did offer to let us choose 2 different meats for our two #41 Koobideh plates (2 beef skewers for $25), but I think we would have been better off just ordering one #61 All Koobideh plate (3 different meat skewers for $34). One plate has plenty of basmati rice for two people to share. She suggested the two #41 orders, instead of answering how much an extra order of rice would cost. Maybe you can't order a side of rice? Rice comes with each entree. By ordering the 2nd plate, she offered or included the $8 Bread Basket for no extra charge. It was my friend's birthday. I wanted to pay, and she wanted to order extra to go, so I wanted two separate bills, but it seemed too complicated to explain or disallowed. After the food was delivered to the table, server didn't check on us anymore. I guess the restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays. My friend thought all the koobideh tasted the same. I liked them in this order: 1) Lamb, 2) Chicken, and 3) Beef, but they're the same texture, so they aren't all that different. I should have ordered a different 2nd entree, instead of two Koobideh plates. The #18 Bademjan Borani eggplant appetizer was yummy. It did come with some bread, so you don't have to order the bread basket. The bread is served warm. The basmati rice was light and fluffy, but not flavorful or buttery. You can pay a $4 upgrade to switch the rice to salad or a fancier stir fried rice. Read the Vegetarian Dishes menu section to learn about the various fried rice or polo preparations. Our server suggested the Fava Bean Rice or Baghali Polo because it is a Persian New Year dish. Yelp reviewers recommended the Zereshk Polo, which includes barberries, a fruit similar to currants. $10 to add a skewer of veggies. $4 to add a salad is mentioned under the Vegetarian Dishes menu and Seafood & Combination Plates menu. I didn't like how the sugar cubes for the Persian Tea were served. It looked communal and exposed to the elements. You could see sugar dust on the serving bowl. Other Persian restaurants serve the sugar in a smaller covered bowl. Formal dining room. Lunch specials are Monday to Friday, 11 am to 3 pm, excluding holidays. Lunch prices range from $16-$20. 3 different $8 soup offerings: chicken barley, ashe reshteh, or green lentil.
