The best! They've evolved every time we've eaten there. The shawarma and hummus are winners every single time, and the service is polite and quick. read more

This is probably the best falafel I've had since I've been back from Europe and the rice is amazing! I'm coming back to try everything else! read more

I have such mixed feelings about this place. The good is great... however it depends on whether they have any food or not. If I didnt have cravings for good Mediterranean food I wouldn't keep going back to this place. In the past month there had been a few times when I stopped by to grab a bite to eat and they ran out of food for the day. There have also been where I called in a order and it wasnt ready. I keep telling myself im not going to go back .. however i cant stop eating at this place. They have fresh food and ingredients. read more

My lovely girlfriend and I were on an "around the world progressive dinner" and we only got soup and salad at this place. We got the lentil soup, and the Arabic and fatoush salad! This was my first time at a place like this. The lentil soup was good but not spectacular. The Arabic salad was very good with exquisite flavor!!! The Fatoush was very similar to an average salad. My girlfriend mixed the two salads together and she really liked it! I'm really excited to have a main course here sometime soon! read more

Don't listen to all the hype, this place is mediocre at best. The lunch buffet everyone mentioned is nothing to get excited about. And the swarma is sad. read more

Wanted to write an updated review after getting no service / no food the last time. We like the Yaffa Grill, the hummus is some of the best around and the rice is awesome! Everything else is ok. The service this time was fine, no big issues really, A-ok experience overall. read more

Nothing impressive. They do have a wide variety of choices and if you are a vegetarian this might be the place for you. The meats are overcooked and tough I do like the market next door. The service is pretty good too. read more

Food was fantastic and staff was friendly. I wish I could say thank you again for their kindness. If I ever get back to Dayton, Yaffa will be my first stop. read more

We are from out of town and wanted something close...we walked over from our hotel. Amazing food!! Very nice staff and for take out it was huge portions!! If we ever come back to Dayton we will be back! read more

First, the hummus here was exceptionally good, slightly spicy and full of flavor, some of the best I have ever had. The shawarma was rather tasty also--definitely authentic. Second, the staff was very friendly and timely. Unfortunately they do not have any lamb, but other than that this outing was a success. read more

I had no idea this place existed. The food was great and so were the prices! I had a groupon coupon to use for dinner. So figured why not give this place a try. Very happy I did! Definitely recommend read more

The best chicken shish kebab I have had in my life and their hummus is amazing! The service is excellent and the portions are a really good size. I eat here every other week. Delicious! read more

We were in the area, and my husband is always game for some Lebanese food. Yelpers agreed this is a good place to stop, and who are we to disagree with y'all? This place looks like it's still just starting up. Cans of pop are served, and plastic silverware and paper plates are your tableware. But what you lose in ambiance, the food well makes up. The hummus was lovely, scattered with fresh parsley and topped with a red pepper Harissa. The pita was warm and soft. My husband and son got sandwiches, the chicken and the beef shawarma. The beef was better than the chicken, and both had this intriguing sauce, like it had a hint of cinnamon or mace, but I couldn't pilot my finger on it and the chef was out for the day. I got the kebab sampler and fattoush. I don't think I'd get the sampler again, it was nothing epic, but the fattoush was pretty stellar. The pita chips on top are deep fried, not baked like the menu says, which IMO is an improvement. Also, it had green peppers - blech. I would have asked them to hold them if the menu reflected their presence. One last thing: the hubs and I got sage tea. A regular tea bag in hot water with some fried whole sage leaves thrown on top. For $1.79 each? Hmmm, if they weren't so obviously a startup I would have commented on that. In summary, we would return if we were back in the area. Good job, guys! read more

Service here is so hit an miss. First time I came here with a group of friends and the food took forever, was cold, and wasn't that great. Second time I came here the food was amazing and did not take very long at all. I've been craving this again but I've tried 4 times throughout the last couple weeks and can't get a hold of them to order take out and don't really want to get there and wait forever. Wish their phones worked! read more

I would say this is one of the better spots to eat at in Dayton. The food is always seasoned nicely. Personally I don't find the salad bar that appetizing but their actual entrees are pretty good. I usually go for the mixed grill or shawarma. Sometimes the beef is over cooked but the food is still great. The gyros aren't bad either but I usually stick to larger entrees. On most orders, there's usually a side of fries or rice. Try to pick rice as they give a healthy amount that will for sure fill you up whereas the serving of fries isn't as much. Pricing can be a little high or some things but I think overall it's still worth it as I don't think I can find another Mediterranean spot that can compete with Yaffa. The menu is pretty simple to go through and the servers will be more than happy to help you with anything/answer any questions. I also usually don't mind getting takeout as the quality of the food still remains the same although quantity is definitely less. read more

Mr. Shawarma & Grill - Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

See all

Doesn't taste authentic, if your in the area and really hungry go ahead and stop by. But don't expect great food.

Meh. My friends love this place, it's not my favorite. I can respect what they're doing but I don't think they have quality ingredients.

My favorite place in Dayton! So much food and such friendly staff! This place is a must go if you love Mediterranean food!

Great food and friendly staff. A hidden gem. The price was great. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

My favorite dining-in and takeout restaurant. Fresh, tasty, incredible food. Excellent, friendly service. Very diverse food choices, all very good. Everything is great, but the hummus is just fantastic. Docking 1 star for chronic problems with phone when trying to call in takeout order. read more

Had a great lunch! The veggie platter was good and plentiful. Hubby had a chicken dish with rice. We had delicious leftovers that night at our hotel. read more

Great Mediterranean food!! This is my favorite place in Dayton. If you like Mediterranean food, definitely give this place a try. Although I could tell they get many of their items at Sam's such as paper plates and drinks (not a bad thing), I quickly forgot because the food was soo good!! Thank you for bringing this place to Dayton read more

This is our FAVORITE Mediterranean restaurant in the Dayton area! The hummus is excellent and full of flavor. Their pita is light and fresh. There's a full compliment of appetizers and desserts to go with any dish. I typically do not enjoy Falafel but found theirs to be incredibly tasty. We are always impressed with their quality and presentation. Finally, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We couldn't think of anything that disappoints us about this place. Give it a try! read more

Came here because it's right across from my hotel. I didn't have too high of expectations since I've had real middle eastern food from the Middle East and this is Ohio, but I was pretty surprised. The hummus and pita and Arabic salad was great. I had the mixed grill, wasn't a big fan of the lamb/beef mix, but the chicken was great. The beef was ok, just a little too much char from the grill, which detracted from the seasoning. The rice was good, my kids loved it! The portions are huge, I got my kids chicken nuggets, but mine was big enough to share. My husband had the beef shawarma which was better than my food. The biggest downfall other than the char was the prices, I don't care about the paper plates but $12.75 for a lunch is crazy read more

Great lunch spot, quick service and very polite staff. Ordered the chicken shawarma (my 1st ever) and it was great. Very flavorful, yummy garlic sauce and I added feta cheese. Definitely recommend read more

I absolutely love this place. Every time I am in the area for work I come here for lunch/ dinner. The food is very fresh and is incredibly authentic (as authentic as you can get in Ohio). If you enjoy good Mediterranean food I highly recommend coming here!! read more

This place has great food. We had dolmas, hummus, and shawarma. The service was great also. Can't go wrong with this place. Good eats, good price. Ignore the paper plates, the food is good! read more

This place is fantastic! The hummus is the best I've ever had and all their meats are full of flavor and cooked perfectly!

Came for the lunch buffet and the food was excellent. Chicken shawarma and kabob were both great. The Arabic salad was fresh and delicious and the hummus was amazing. Great lunch for the price... I'll definitely come back when in town. read more

I was visiting Dayton from Texas in October. I visited Yaffa based on Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed! The food was amazing!

Great food and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended. Vast selection and daily specials

Great buffet, vegetarian friendly. They were really busy at the time, and the staff kept apologizing for making us wait even though the wait times were pretty standard for most restaurants. read more

On a whim and a strong desire for something different than a burger for lunch, I decided to try this place. The previous comments also swayed me. This place is a winner! Mysterious exotic flavors and textures abound. The hummus out of this world. When I visit Dayton in the future, this will be my go to place!! read more

They've expanded their space since first opening and now offer a lunch buffet. The food is really great. However the service seems to be lacking. The ladies dont seem to be able to keep up with the seating at lunch. They also couldnt decide if we were supposed to get our own drinks or someone was to get them for us. The first time i came in for the lunch buffet the gentleman told me to go ahead and get my own drink. However, upon returning a few weeks later, I went up to get my drink and was physically 'shooed' away from the station, which is right out in the open next to the buffet. My friend was ready to leave after that incident but I convinced her to stay for the food. They need to get better organized if they plan on keeping up with their own success. read more

This place is simply amazing. My favorite dish is the Chicken Shawarma. The service can be a little slow but they definitely make sure you leave happy. I have been there many times and one time I went for dinner they were out of chicken shawarma. I ended up ordering the falafel sandwich (so good!) But to make up for it they gave me free hummus and pita while I waited for my food! It was a nice gesture and great customer service. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Dayton's best middle eastern cuisine. If you give taqueria mixteca 5 stars for Mexican then this should get 5 stars too, generally speaking. Although, they can be a little pricy on the plates though. read more

Excellent food at cheap prices. Mediterranean food is pretty easy to find, but good chicken shawerma isn't. This place has the best in the area. read more

Amazing hummus and beef/lamb shawarma! I was not expecting the amount of food I got. Excellent food for a reasonable price!

They expanded. Good thing. However, they started serving a buffet. I hope they keep the quality and lose the buffet... We'll see

This has a pretty good buffet for lunch. The place is still under construction. But it doesn't affect the dining area.
