Amazing food! All the cooks are fresh from Palestine so the food is very authentic. I was with a group so we were able to try a lot of different dishes. The chicken shawarma and rice was my favorite. The staff was really friendly too. Great customer service. Highly recommend this place! read more

Tried for the first time tonight. Food was great, shish kebob was tender, smoky and had a hint of heat to it, great! Humus was one of the best I have had, and the tahini salad was nice. The falafels were very good too. I will be back. read more

This is the first authentic food I've had since spending lots of time near the Mediterranean. The grape leaves, hummus and shawarma were all delicious! Also, the service was fast and friendly. Finally, the prices were unbeatable given the amount of food they give you. Excellent! read more

I enjoyed all the buffet dishes I tried...especially the falafil and stuffed grape leaves. The $10 price is a good value.

The food here is amazing! I hadn't tried anything of the sort before, and I don't really try new things when it comes to food. I thought it would have been Greek food, however I was so wrong! The food was delicious!! And the workers of this establishment were so kind, nice and respecting of the fact that my boyfriend and I had not been there before. They had generous portions for the price, and very kind individuals! This place is an A in my books! Definitely becoming a regular! read more

I had purchased a certificate from restaurants.com to try out Yaffa grill, so my family and I decided to finally check it out. Aside from the warm bottled lemonade with no ice available (the menu said it was mint, it was not), out of order restrooms (yikes! Luckily none of us had to go) and the paper plates, the food was really enjoyable. You really get a lot for a good price. The kebabs however, did not come with veggies as the menu described, but we were so hungry we didn't really mind. I may come back for lunch to try the shawarma but as far as dinner dates go, I much prefer Pasha at the Greene for a few dollars more. read more

I have gone there several times. Very BAD. Food not fresh and taste not good. I do not recommended this place to any one. I tried the food in both branch but in both the food was very bad. read more

Great food and excellent service! I had the falafel, hummus, and banaganoush (sp?). My husband and friend had the chicken kabobs. And another friend had the half chicken. Everyone was very happy with the meal. read more

The hummus and chicken/beef meal was really good! The customer service was excellent! The only thing that I wasn't too fond of was the Turkish coffee but that's due to personal preference. read more

Best Eastern Mediterranean food I've had in the States. Great hummus, dips of all sorts, rice and kebabs. I wish I'll have an opportunity to visit this place again. Lots of cheap options as well! read more

I love Yaffa Grill. I follow a vegan diet and they have a lot of options. Their Eggplant Salad and falafal are the best.

My family and I stopped in on our way to the Air Force Museum and had an amazing meal! My boys took down some of the Mixed Grill - Beef, Lamb & Chicken. My 1/2 chicken entree was incredibly tasty, too! We would definitely come again! read more

Not great food as expected. The food is quality and taste is not close to Mediterranean.

As a business traveler that frequents the area, I drove by this place more times than I can count, brushing it off for "chains" that I thought I could trust... I am a shamed man. The chains failed to impress (no surprise, it was convenient), so I read a few reviews and decided to give it a shot. I am NOT a "wow" or superlative adjective type of guy, but WOW! (insert superlative, creative, impressive word here). Amazingly (there's one) tasty, friendly service and just so much food. Seriously, ('cause if I say that, you know it means business), TRY THIS PLACE. SIMPLY. DAMN. GOOD. FOOD. (I never got the period after every word thing until just now...It just. felt. right.) No long background on my credentials or how I KNOW what good food is, just go put these morsels in your face, close your eyes slightly while rolling them north, curl that smile a bit, then WASH, RINSE and REPEAT. read more

We stopped by Yaffa Grill and tried the buffet. Food was great as well as service! Several choices, very fresh. Highly recommend!

Super tasty. Had the hummus, Yaffa grill, Turkish salad and the baba ganoush. Was not disappointed with a thing, we will definitely be back.

After witnessing the preparation practices behind the counter while waiting for my food, I couldn't eat much. The pita bread is good - I couldn't bring myself to finish the meal. They are handling cash , mixing salads and hummus and preparing meat all behind the counter. I did not witness one hand wash or glove use. Someone walked out of the kitchen with s skewer of raw meat holding it above the area where others were preparing food. read more

Fantastic, one of my new favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in the area. It's a small, busy place, so more convenient as a take out spot, but friendly people and really great food! read more

Great food and had Turkish coffee time. Would recommend vegetarian plate and an order of extra falafel.

Great food, great flavor, and great service. Prices are also very reasonable. The yelp reviews are on point. Owner takes pride in his restaurant. Had the chicken shawerma and hummus. Will definitely return! read more

Happened upon this place when in the area for business and it was amazing! Very cordial staff and delicious food!

Stopped in for the lunch buffet. Ended up a little over $12 with soda and tax, so not bad. Seating is a bit of a pain, as I'd prefer a booth, but they want single guests to fill out the small tables. Decent variety on the lunch buffet: chicken kebob (excellent grilled flavor), beef and shawarma, rice, pita bread, hummus, baba ganoush, etc. Staff was friendly, though they were apparently understaffed today. I want to try out the menu next time I stop in. read more

Delicious! Came over for lunch from WP AFB with a small group and we were pleasantly surprised to find out there was an all you can eat buffet going on (weekday lunch). Got to try a little bit of everything. Buffet was super fresh. I saw almost every dish get replenished with fresh food at least once during our lunch! Only here temporarily, but if I lived or worked in the area, I'm sure this place would be on my regular rotation. read more

The food here is pretty decent. I got the beef, lamb, and chicken skewers served on a bed of rice. It came with a side of Arabic salad (which was a mixture of cucumbers and tomatoes), hummus, and pita bread. The food was seasoned really well. I enjoyed the flavors. The beef was well done and I typically like it medium. The lamb was ground which I don't really care for. I think I would just opt for the chicken next time. I really enjoyed the Arabic salad. I didn't like the hummus or the side of tzatziki sauce. They were incredible plain. I did like the garlic sauce. I also had some of my friend's falafel and I thought it was pretty good. Overall, the restaurant is a nice change of pace from the chain restaurants in the area. I plan to go back. read more

Our first time here. Tried the first 3 grilled entrees with all the sides. Everything was delicious and the owner/manager gave us falafels to try and 2 additional sides to try! The best service with amazing food. read more

Probably a 3.5 really, the hummus and falafel were great but the entree with chicken and lamb was really dry. Had to add some sauces from the salad bar! read more

Had a falafel here for lunch and it was very good. The falafels were crispy and the veggies were fresh. It was a nice portion for the price but i was tempted to order another one after i finished. My only criticism is the service is pretty slow during rush hour, but the staff was friendly to make up for it. I will be going back to try other items since the food from the other tables looked and smelled great. read more

excellent food, plates have a hefty amount. good service, one of the employees (a palestinian fellow, so you know it's authentic) was very friendly and attentive. would definitely go back read more

Fantastic food! Very flavorful. Good sized portions. All the sides are great. Great service too!

Amazing authentic food! Great flavor and customer service. Prices are really quite low

2 out of 3 times we drove from downtown Dayton, we walk in to learn they've run out of food. The second time, we couldn't even step foot in the restaurant because the lady that works their opened the door and told us they've run out and to come back tomorrow. The time I did eat the food was really good. Call ahead. read more

This place has wonderfully flavorful food. The atmosphere lacking a bit but awesome food at great prices!!

It wasn't terrible, but we won't return. Truly uninspiring buffet. Pitas like Wonder Bread. Babaganouj was good, though.

I had the mixed grill and it was incredible! Perfectly cooked and the portion size generous. The hummus was off the chart good!

This place was right next to the hotel I'm at and it had some good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Ordered the vegetarian plate because I wanted baba ghanoush, though I realized afterward all the plates have this as an option (big plus). Pitas were hot and the hummus and baba ghanoush were extremely good. My favorite was probably the falafel, though, which was the best I've had out of new York. Hot and made fresh. Highly recommend this place. read more

Fantastic food and very friendly service. This restaurant is one of the reasons I haven't totally lost faith in Dayton, OH. Just get the Yaffa mixed grill entree and you'll see what I mean. Yes it takes about 20 minutes to get to your table, but it's totally worth it. Unless you prefer your food to be waiting for you under a heat lamp when you walk in the door. read more

Although I don't have any other Mediterranean food restaurants to compare too,(this is my first time-but certainly not my last!) they had fantastic food and the service was impeccable!! read more

Seriously this place is great. I spent a lot of time in Israel/middle east and this is as authentic as you can get. Great hummus and Shwarma. Shwarma comes with all toppings and sides of tahini just like you'd get in the Middle East. Great food great job and thank you. read more

Food is fantastic, but you can not be in a hurry to fine in or carry out. Half the time they dont even answer their phones during lunch time. read more

This restaurant is spot on! Great, authentic Mediterranean food at an affordable price. Friendly and quick service and an outdoor patio to soak in the sun. Definitely going there often! read more
