This place is great for to go orders. The food is good and tastes fresh. You get a decent amount of for each order and their fries have this seasoning on them that is addicting. Service is quick and concise. We ate in the restaurant but probably won't order for dine in again. It's not a very inviting place to sit and eat. We were the only ones in there and it's not a very lively place. The employees are quick with orders and making the food but that's it. Not friendly or talkative, not rude at all, just quiet. The bathrooms serve their purpose but smell and were a little dirty which is always off putting. Again, food was delicious. read more

We came here on Mother's Day for a quick takeout lunch and ordered falafels, the chicken shawarma bowl with hummus and Mediterranean salad, the gyro bowl with tabouleh and baba ghanoush, and a falafel wrap. Everything tasted so fresh and authentic. The pita bread was soft and delicious as well. The limited time lentil soup was tasty as well. It wasn't salty at all. The guys who work here are so kind and friendly as well. I love how they have both indoor and outdoor dining if you want! read more

Yafa Hummus - Chicken shawarma bowl with Mediterranean salad and hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Livermore, California

First time trying Yafa Hummus in this location. I usually eat at the Tracy location. I went with a couple of my co workers after our shift. Say to say I will not be going to this Location as often and will most likely go to the Tracy or Dublin location. The service was not welcoming at all. When all my co workers came in, we were not greeted into the store and the employee taking our order seem like he did not want us to inside the restaurant. He looked mad and was very rude. The atmosphere was not pleasant. I asked the employee how he was doing and he did not reply or anything and I just had to order. The ambiance was okay, we were the only ones in the restaurant and the tables were not clean, they were dirt and like sauce left over on the table. The food was still very good and would order it again. All my colleagues ordered the build your own bowls and it was very delicious. I am giving this location a 3/5 stars based off how bad the customer service was. I did not feel welcomed and the staff member was not very welcoming to me and my coworkers. Any how the food still came out very delicious and hot. If the customer service was better I would have gave this restaurant a 4/5 star review. read more

Looove Yafa Hummus! They've been one of my fav East Bay spots ever since they first opened in Tracy. I've tried just about everything on their menu already - I always ended up going here whenever I don't know what to eat since you can't really go wrong with anything they have! I stopped by their Livermore location looking for a late lunch. Fortunately, they weren't too busy so I was able to order and have my food out in probably less than 10 minutes! I always love getting the gyros or the chicken shawarmas here. The meats are super flavorful! I haven't found a place that beats their falafels either. The pesto hummus is also the best hummus! Pro tip: they have promotions on FiveStar every so often, so don't forget to sign up for that! You can also get free 6 pc falafel if you check in on Yelp ;) read more

Quality ingredients you can taste! First time here and wish there were more in the Bay, or at least a location closer to my home. I love Mediterranean food and this "fast casual" restaurant was better than I expected. They pack on the protein too, not skimpy at all. I ordered the chicken shawarma fries, a beef/lamb gyro and combo chicken/ gyro bowl with half rice/ salad and spicy hummus. Packed with flavor, fresh veggies and their sauces are equally delicious! If they were closer to me I would it here multiple times a week! Place was clean and welcoming, was greeted as soon as I walked in. Found my new fav Mediterranean spot when in Livermore. read more

We ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl and the Falafel supreme. Both were ok . Nothing to standout . The staff was friendly and ready to assist anything we wanted. Since it was around 10 am, they were open but the place was desolate and we did not see anyone come in for the new b'fast items they were serving. But place looked clean and with ample seatings inside with gender neutral restroom at the end of the establishment. read more

I didn't even know this restaurant existed until today. I came here with my wife to try it out and was immediately greeted by a young gentleman who promptly took our order. The prices are reasonable and everything smelled good. My wife and I ordered the gyro pita. I asked for grilled onions in mine and she ordered hers without onions. The food came out quickly and was freshly prepared. The pita was perfectly grilled and there was plenty of delicious meat inside. Looking back, I probably should have skipped out on the onions, but it was worth the try. I would probably ask for more tomato and cucumbers if I ordered this again. Next time, I'm excited to try their chicken shawarma wrap. The lavash bread looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. The restaurant is clean and attractive and I will definitely come back here again. My wife ordered the Turkish delight (mango and pistachio) and loved how fruity it was. Try this restaurant if you're in the area - great fast casual Mediterranean food at reasonable prices! read more

As someone who has eaten Middle Eastern food my entire life thus far, AH, can tell you that I have become quite picky about my falafels, my hummus, the spices, the bread, the sauces, the freshness of the produce, etc. etc. I can also tell you that walking into this restaurant, I immediately started to get so hungry, which really doesn't ever happen, as lately the M.E spots I've tried have been good, but not as DROOL WORTHY! and the longer I waited to eat the more it was driving me crazy lol Honestly, the scent in the air was so wonderful. You could smell the sumac, the parsley, the herbs and spices in the air. ( Here's a little secret that I've learned from knowing a lot of restaurant owners and their practices- too many restaurants do not use real spices and herbs. They just use food coloring and cheap oils. too many restaurants tell me that they would not eat the food that they serve to others in their restaurants! ) that is not the case here This is real food. This is the real deal.MA. I appreciate the vegan tzatziki, the lentil Soup, spicy hummus, salad, the best falafels If my family didn't finish everything so fast I could've probably tried more food lol! The owner of this location is some sort of angel. I am telling you the amount of unselfish giving he does to the community is unparalleled! My reviews are always honest and cruelty free. Yafa in Livermore is the spot! read more

Nice staff and good food! Really enjoyed the shawarma fries; the fries themselves were a tiny bit too dry, but edible. The spicy sauce was amazing! Very delicious. They went perfectly well with the pickles and grilled onions. Very good flavor combination overall and the chicken was a nice protein option (a little overcooked though). The gyro pita was not my favorite; the tomatoes were sliced in a way that was hard to eat with the entire pita (maybe needs to be cut into wedges?). The tzatziki was good but unfortunately was only in one half of the pita. The beef was pretty salty in my opinion. The raw onions were thick and not super pleasant to eat. On the flip side, the falafel deluxe was good. The wrap was tasty and the fillings were quite flavorful. It was a good portion of food! read more

Very tasty and fast option. The plate and wraps are massive and you'll have a snack for later since it's a lot to finish in one sitting. We ordered online 5 minutes before arriving and the meal was ready for us about 5 minutes after we arrived. Everything was extremely flavorful and well seasoned. The kale cabbage salad surprisingly was my favorite side. I will note the rice in the plate was a little oily but tasty. read more

Food was fresh. Service was friendly. I got a bowl with half gyro/half falafel. Their falafel here were fire. I've had them before at their Tracy location but the ones here hit different. They tasted fresher and crispier on the outside. At their Tracy location, they just call out your name when your food is ready. So, we were really surprised to see that they brought out our food to our table like it was a restaurant. That was so nice b/c we would've gone to get it ourselves. Same when we were done w/our food, we couldn't find the trash bin. So we asked the guy where the bin was and he said it was fine and to just leave the trays on the table, he'd take care of it. SO NICE! b/c he easily could've said, "it's over there" and pointed to it. Really delicious food and excellent service. read more

My go to for falafels. We always stop here for a Yaffa hummus fix whenever we go to the Bay Area. The food has always been excellent.

The food here was good. We ordered 4 hummus sandwiches. Instead of the lavash bread for the wraps, they wrapped it in a tortilla which tasted a bit weird. But the falafel and fries were very fresh and crispy. The service here is great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

The food & service here is top notch. I go here a lot more than I review but it's time to update. Tonight it was take out. The bowls are great with plenty of fulfilling options. Food that is supposed to be hot is hot in temperature. Bowls come with warm pita and the hummus is creamy & tasty. The staff is very friendly & they especially welcome those customers that return over & over again. I forgot to take pictures as I was hungry. Next time I will tempt you more. Btw the lentil soup is a must have. read more

Yafa Hummus gets five stars in my book. Went here recently with my beloved. She got the falafel wrap. I got the falafel bowl with brown rice, falafel, amazing hummus, salad etc. The falafel wrap is made with daily made falafel mix served on lavash with hummus, spring mix, tomatoes, pickles and tahini sauce. Bowl is choose a couple items aka hummus, protein aka falafel two sides and went to dress it up with vegan tahini. I spent six weeks backpacking in the Middle East and love the Bay Area has so many great ethnic spots that are authentic with good veg options. We both loved it! Everything was fresh, affordable, tasty, vegan, and friendly service to boot so what's not to like. Five stars and we will definitely come back here. read more

Went into the Livermore location today and was amazed. I am not good with names and never ask who took my order anyway, but the guy working today was amazing. My and my wife's bowls were works of art. He took pride in producing what he did and it showed. Even the placement of the bowl on the tray had purpose. I've never had such a beautiful tray of food served to me at a Yafa location as today. Absolute perfection. I don't think the dolmas and tabouleh were ever as good as today, but maybe the presentation had something to do with it. Great job! read more

Ima go 4.5 but it's because I've had Doner Kebabs in Europe. Yafa wouldn't be as authentic , definitely a healthier and more Americanized twist. Still very very good, just having .5 because I personally want more authentic Kebab experience. Example being , they have spring mix here (very good) but authentic kebabs do not use spring mix. Shredded lettuce is more traditional. Over , still very good read more

Shout out to Patrick and Brandon for personalizing the guest experience and providing great service. We read the reviews and the food sounded amazing! Little did we know how much we would enjoy our time here. Brandon helped us to order the most tasty dishes. We chose our protein: 1/2 chicken and 1/2 beef, hummus, brown rice, Greek salad and taziki. It was a party in the mouth and so filling we couldn't finish our bowls. We also got to sample the falafel by checking in on Yelp. And if that wasn't enough...we finished off with dessert, a soft serve bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with baklava. Everything was delicious and the service we received was excellent! read more

The hummus is soo good and I've eaten several times in the Middle East. I've had the same confusion twice with chicken schwarma. I thought I ordered a dinner plate but when I opened the box, it was a wrap. Next time I will show a photo from the photos of chicken schwarma. I recommend a little bag of pita chips be offered with a hummus order. I can't wait to have some falafel. read more

Hummmmm-us! This place rocks! Fresh food, friendly employees, and who doesn't love tzatziki! I got the chicken schwarma, Greek salad, tabuleh, and spicy hummus. The spicy is not too spicy, but then again, I like spicy, packed with flavor, slather it on the pita bread, and forget the fork use the pita to scoop it all up. Mix up all those flavors for an action-packed burst of freshness. If I am in the area, I'm going here! read more

Picked up falafel slider, tasty & lentil soup was refreshingly delicious! Fast service.

Halal food that's easy and convenient. I appreciate the variety here. I came with my family and we got the wraps, hummus bowls and a rice bowl. Don't forget to check in on yelp to receive free falafel :) They have a 1951 menu which was so cool to see! They used to only sell simple things like hummus, pita and falafel. Love to see an establishment with some history. Bowl is the best option in my opinion. I got half beef and half chicken and it was such a huge portion size. Michael was such a great cashier and helped us order to go as well. He was kind and informative. Great staff. read more

Love their hummus and baba ghanoush. Always so smooth and tasty. It never disappoints.

Just like in Athens! Very fresh. I had Dolmas, falafel, chicken wrap and fries (I was hungry!) We ate in the restaurant and it was pleasant. The food though... the FOOD! So yummy and authentic (We had just come back from our first trip to Greece and this place was like going back there.) I brought half the wrap home for dinner and it was just as good heated up in my toaster oven later ... even though I was still full from lunch. read more

Food was just okay. Got chicken shawarma and fries. Shawarma was pretty small for the price, flavor was kind of flat. Fries had a different kind of seasoning--salt and some spice--but again, nothing that wowed me. read more

I am a big Mediterranean food lover and with Yafa, you just can't go wrong! Since I don't eat lamb, I never get the original lamb/beef mixture. At any other place, I will just get a chicken gyro but what I really like about Yafa is that you can get a classic gyro pita without the lamb! They have a beef only meat. It is so well seasoned and their tzatziki sauce is spectacular. It comes with onions and tomatoes too. Oh and the staff here is just phenomenal. They are so nice and always putting the customer first. For example, they once forgot to include soup in the order and so we called them back to let them know and they were so apologetic, when we came in to pick it up, they gave us an extra soup just to make up for it. Now that is customer service at its finest. I love this location. read more

Decided to try this place out since I was in the area. Ordered the gyro pita (spicy) and the pistachio baklava. The guy who took and made my order was very friendly and personable. He took care in making my pita which I appreciated. I worried a bit about how much red sauce he was putting on cuz my mind flashed to halal guys red sauce but thankfully it's not spicy like that. It was very delicious and the baklava was such a nice little treat. Will be back to try their bowls. read more

Absolutely flawless! It's nice to have a fast, but healthy option for lunch/dinner. The store is very clean. The staff is beyond helpful and super attentive. Employees took their time to explain the entire menu and the proportions of bowls, shared recommend wraps and side options. The gyro bowl is the delicious and plentiful. Kale slaw has something addictive... the flavor keeps you wanting more and more. The claim to the best hummus is no joke! Both hummus, plain and spicy, were the best I've had. I am not a chicken shawarma fan, but wanted to try it, so I ordered a side. I feel I can't judge it since I'm not a regular for it... it wasn't bad, I'd just rather have gyro as a protein. If you mention it's your first time, you get to try all sauces. All sauces were good, but to be honest you don't need any of them because the food is on point!!! I'm definitely hooked! read more

Limited but decent middle eastern selections. We were in Livermore and feeling peckish, so decided to check out the local Yafa Hummus eatery. Ordered standard fare from the menu, versus doing the build-your-own option. Favorites: Back Home Style ($9) - because it is so shareable and they make it with such care. Our older daughter ordered it and immediately wished she had not offered to share so readily. Gyro Pita ($8) - yum! My wife had ordered this and got to eat barely half after everyone else had "tasted" it! Pita chips with pesto hummus ($4) - addictive. Will Pass on these next time: Spicy Chicken Shawarma wrap - I'd ordered this and the "spice" was odd. No one wanted a second bite. Chicken over rice - our younger daughter ordered this but filled up on her sister's back home style and mother's gyro pita instead. Relegated to leftovers the next day. Will definitely be back, all older and wiser! read more

Things we ordered to-go: Gyro - spicy Falafel wrap Fries Cashew Baklava Gyro had a good amount of spice, meat was not at all dry and seasoned pretty well. I personally enjoyed it more with some Tzatziki on the side to dip. Falafel wrap was not as good, really heavy on the tomato and relatively sour. Falafel tasted very similar to the store bought powered stuff. Fries were well seasoned and crispy. The seasoning they put on is excellent. The cashew baklava is great and worth getting as a small dessert. (3/5) average The staff member was very welcoming and was very patient with us as we ordered and asked questions. Offered us samples on anything on display to help us with our purchase decision. (5/5) went above and beyond Inside is alright, definitely more designed for take out rather than dine in. read more
