This is exactly my favorite kind of restaurant. My best friend knew it too. He loves this place and…read morehas lived on the island 15 years. Knowing that Lebanese food is my favorite of all this was one of our first stops in my two weeks stay. This is a family owned place with the owners behind the counter and working in the kitchen, they appear to be husband and wife, and they couldn't be more friendly or kind. They were so very nice to us and answered all of our silly questions. The food here is magnificent! I had never had tabouli fries before, that was the first. My buddy said their fries were excellent and they are, they are double fried and very crunchy. That is my favorite kind of fry. Pillowy soft on the inside too. The beef-lamb shawarma was special. We got the one with the hot sauce and added more. We are both also chilli heads. I will absolutely be bringing my wife here when we return to the island in the fall. Yalla is 5 stars all the way. Lots of locals in and out while we dined. They know this place is special.

The curry had so much chicken and had such a wonderful flavor with the fresh lime leaves. It was hard for me to stop eating, although, I eventually had to! Most dishes can be made gluten-free and the server was very knowledgeable. The service was perfect. We had a bright and cheerful server who tended our table very well.

Portions in Victoria seem to be much more generous than in Vancouver; once again, we struggled to finish and I ended up taking some leftovers. We ordered fried tofu as an appetizer, along with pad thai, tom yum soup, and beef stir-fry. Taste-wise, I was happy that the dishes were actually spicy enough for me, but all of them also leaned quite sweet.

The spot may lack ambience, but it 100% makes up for that in friendly service and amazing flavor. My husband had the chicken Shawarma wrap, and I had the falafel wrap and both were incredibly garlicky tasty! Perfect, garlic sauce, a lil hot sauce and little indian pickles! My falafel even had a bit of a crunch to it, so it was simply a perfect lunch find. Note you walk in and it's just a counter to order and there is a tight small row of about 8 seats in the back. We were there on a cold day so that's where we sat (like others have mentioned on a nicer day ya take your food to go down to the waterfront or to the market. ) This definitely will be a must stop when I go back to Victoria!
