    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.

    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.

    Order here!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    gyro pita
    Jessica H.

    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!

    Absolutely loved the shawarma wrap at Yafa Hummus! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Quick service, friendly staff, and great value. Will definitely be back!

    half gyro/half falafel, regular hummus, white rice, salad, tzatziki, chili sauce. YUM!
    Alejandra D.

    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.

    The service there is always exceptional and the store is clean. I ordered the shwarma fries and they were delicious! I didn't add pickles, but the sauce and the chicken with the fries is a delicious combination! They are quick with the orders and really friendly!

    Great is working hard to serve the best.  Lentil soup is awesome
    Dennis K.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Bowl with Greek salad, chicken schawarma, tables spicy hummus and tatziki
    Gabe B.

    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!

    Is the spring mix organic? What are the pita chip ingredients and what type of oil are they fried in?

    Hello Holly, Our spring mix is not organic & we use canola oil to fry our pita chips. We use Lavash bread for the chips and season it with Zaatar, sumac, and kosher salt.

    Great food, for the kebab lovers…read more I like the combo shish plate. Their meats are so good. It's nicely charred and still tender. The beef and chicken were both excellent. Great flavors. I enjoyed both. With it comes a lot of things- the pita was soft and fluffy. It paired nicely with the creamy and garlicy hummus. So smooth. Like butter. The salad had a nice burst of acidity to it and was very refreshing to eat. Good seasoning/dressing. There was also a yogurt sauce on the side which was delicious. Tangy. The rice was fluffy and soft. It was so much food! Great deal imo.

    I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience at Sultan Kebab in Livermore…read more I ordered a shawarma salad and specifically avoid eating beef because it is against my religion. Unfortunately, I was served beef anyway. On top of that, the salad was spoiled. Shortly after eating it, I became extremely sick and started vomiting repeatedly. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened, but no one responded or made any effort to address the situation or follow up with me. Serving someone meat that goes against their religious beliefs is a serious mistake, and serving spoiled food is unacceptable. I hope the restaurant improves its food safety practices and pays closer attention to customers' dietary and religious restrictions so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant was nearly empty, yet staff repeatedly walked past our table without acknowledging us. There was no greeting, no update, and very little attention from anyone. When we finally received service, the staff seemed distracted and uninterested. After a long wait, the food arrived lukewarm, with stale fries and the appearance of an order that had been sitting around or reheated. Watching food sit before being served is extremely frustrating, especially when you are already waiting far longer than expected. To make matters worse, the order was incorrect, and there seemed to be little interest in fixing the problem. We have been coming here for years, which makes the decline even more disappointing. Dining out should be relaxing and enjoyable, not an experience where you feel ignored and leave angry. Sadly, we won't be returning. There are now so many better options in Livermore with better food, warmer service, and staff who actually value their customers.

They have plenty of options--beef, chicken, and veggie burgers--so there's something for everyone. The shakes are definitely richer and heavier than In-N-Out's, and each one comes with a donut, which the kids loved! They also hand out stickers to children, and the burgers are served with delicious fries. If you're looking for lighter choices, they offer Brussels sprouts and salads, along with a grilled cheese sandwich. And for the adults, they even serve beer.

I found this place on here about month ago and bookmarked it. Today I came here to get lunch to go. I ordered there with a staff member. I got the Cali Kid burger (w/ Angus beef), Garlic Fries, and a Chocolate Shake. The guy asked what sauce I want which I asked for his recommendation since it was my first time there. He recommended the Cali sauce, and I said "Okay, I'll go with your recommendation." I didn't know that he was going to charge me for the sauce--$.75. The total with a $1 tip came out to $27 something. Pricey!!! I waited for about 8-10 minutes til my order was ready. The chocolate shake didn't have the pretty chocolate drip like in their pictures, but it was decadent. It is better than In-n-Out's chocolate shake. The mini donut is a cute touch. The Cali Kid burger was pretty delicious, but I still like In-n-Out's Double Double a lot more still. The Garlic Fries was garlic overload. If you're super into garlic, then you might be a fan of this. After a few bites, I got tired of it. The Cali sauce was just okay. I wasn't a fan of it. The place was clean, bold, with plenty of seating indoors & out. In my bag, the gave me a fork, but no napkins. Luckily I was going to go back to the house to eat it, but it kinda sucks that they didn't give any napkins. It was nice to try, but I'll stick with my beloved In-n-Out.

This was not bad tasting at all when I got back to try everything after shopping nearby. However the carnitas burrito was terrible. I'm not sure what happened. I took two bites and it just wasn't good at all. I was highly disappointed. I appreciated that they give me free chips and salsas but even the salsas weren't that great...not really spicy for "habanero" and the others just seemed watered down as do most Mexican restaurants. So for 32$ I was totally let down and I really dislike spending money on food that I don't like and then I need to spend more money getting food because I'm still hungry. I'm happy that I at least tried the place but now I can see why there was only 2 other diners in the afternoon/early evening. I guess my quest for good Mexican food in this city will continue. I don't think I can recommend or return to this establishment anytime soon.
