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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Tanmay S.

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.

Ana D.

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.

Shane S.

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.

Oooh weee, I can just tell everything here is good. I had the chicken Shawarma wrap and it was so tasty. It had the perfect amount of chicken and fresh veggies. I chose to add hot sauce and it was the perfect amount and tasted divine. I placed my order online and it was ready in about 10 minutes. They were just bagging it up when I walked in so it was nice and hot. An extra star for the super clean bathroom. Appreciated! Everybody was masked up and the place was super clean. I'll be back! read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat. Servings were generous and I was super full after. Quality of ingredients was awesome, prices are reasonable, service is speedy and very friendly, they cater, food is not greasy and seems like a healthy choice for lunch! There is plenty of parking in this complex. However, I don't find the taste of many of the items to be authentic Afghan. Meat is cooked well but lacks flavor in my opinion, a little on the dry side. Quality of items is good but flavors were on the milder side, was hoping for the spicy hummus to pack a bigger punch of flavor, same with the falafels. read more

From the mouth of an 8 year old, "you should give this place 5 stars!" Kiddo is picky but he really enjoyed their chicken & rice. I got a chicken and rice bowl & my husband got a wrap. Both seriously delicious! Super friendly individuals who were working behind the counter. In fact, when we walked in, my husband started dancing to the music & an employee prepping food, joined in!! So fun. Great portions & fantastic prices. I highly recommend checking them out; you won't be disappointed. read more

They were ALL highly delicious and came with very fresh ingredients, and they served it very quickly. I liked the dolmeh the best, and I would return soon to get it as an appetizer.

My husband and I got dinner here last night and we had a great experience! The menu was very clear and easy to see the options. They had all of the traditional and popular options like shawarma and falafel but also fresh, updated options that appeal to people wanting lighter foods like vegetables and salad. They also had unique and tasty cold drinks like lassi. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful. I'm so glad Yafa joined our neighborhood! read more

So glad there's a new mediterranean spot in the area! My boyfriend and I tried Petra recently because of all the amazing reviews, and we were super disappointed by the lack of seasoning and flavor in their food -- and also how little meat you get for the price. Yafa in contrast was reasonably priced, and was seasoned superbly! I got a bowl with hummus, baba ganoush, shawarma, and falafel, and everything tasted exactly as it should. The falafel had great flavor and crunch. My boyfriend got the gyro pita, which was really well priced ($8.5 I think). The meat was perfect and not overcooked, and the pita was warm and fluffy. Wonderfully seasoned hummus. Oh their pita chips & dip are amazing too! I normally don't love pita chips because they're too hard/hurt my mouth, but theirs were thin and crisp and flavorful! read more

My absolute favorite in Tracy. I always have my initial review of a restaurant first. If it's good that's a plus, but I usually wait to review until after my 5th or more visit. I look for consistency. When a restaurant first opens their door, they have to be good, right? They have to make that impression to hook and pull you in. But, what happens when the honeymoon is over? Will the food still taste good, after a year or more? For Yafa Hummus, yes! The food is delicious, the service is great! If I lived closer to it, I'd eat here everyday. read more

I usually take photos of my food but this time, I was too hungry and eager to dig in. I got the bowl with Gyro/Chicken, Greek salad, hummus, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki. It was delicious! The gyro was flavorful, the hummus was creamy, the baba ghanoush was alright. My favorite was the tzatziki! It was perfect... I could eat that with pita all day long. My only complaint was the pitas didn't seem to be fresh. Also, my meal had a lot of soft components and zero crunch - next time (because I'll be back!) I will make sure to add some sort of crunch factor to round out the textures. I was happy with my meal and highly recommend the bowl if you want a variety. .......Until next time..... read more

My family was craving falafels and found this restaurant on Yelp, and WOW this definitely went above our expectations!! When you come in, you need to walk all the way in and place your order at the cash register. The cashier was super nice and recommended me to get the catering platter when I told her I was ordering for 5 people. We got the smaller pack($59.99 before tax) which came with your choice of protein (we chose falafels which came with 25 pieces), 1 rice (brown rice), pita pack (6 pieces of pita), 1 spread (spicy humus), 1 salad(Mediterranean salad), and 1 sauce (tahini). Overall, we were STUFFED and it was perfect for our family of 5!! The food came out super fast and the falafels were fresh and out of the fryer. They even asked if we wanted the pitas warmed up. I talked to the owner and a few employees for a bit while waiting for the food, and they were all super nice!! Definitely recommend everyone to try it out :) read more

History

Established in 2017.

OUR STORY - In 1951, our grandfather, Afeef Awad, traveled to the city of Yafa which is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. While he was in Yafa, he learned how to make Hummus and made his first batch that started our restaurant's devotion for hummus. A few years later, he moved to Amman, Jordan and opened up his own restaurant to give people the taste of his delicious, handcrafted hummus. Throughout the years as a restaurant owner and hummus enthusiast, he perfected his recipe to produce World Class Hummus, which made its' way all the way to California. Our passion is hummus and our ultimate goal is for our customers to enjoy the best hummus period. - Yafa Hummus

I have tried Demitris multiple times in the last year and without fail, one or more of the items we ordered does not come, both when in restaurant and delivery. The final nail was when we had a reservation recently that was confirmed by email and also by phone with them, and when we arrived we were first told that the reservation did not exist and after we showed our reservation confirmation, they told us that they were full so they wouldn't accept the reservation. When we have gotten our food there has also been other issues such as portion sizes very small or not prepared correctly.

The meat is well-seasoned, the pita is soft, and everything just comes together right. Their bowls are solid too if you want something a little lighter but still filling. And you can't go wrong with a side of fries (get them loaded if you're feeling it). Location is super convenient right on First Street, so it's easy to swing by whether you're out walking around downtown or just grabbing a quick bite. Ambience is casual and upbeat more of a grab-and-go or quick sit-down kind of place, not somewhere you're hanging out for hours. Service is fast, portions are generous, and prices are reasonable for the area.

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've been meaning to try the one in Pleasanton forever ago, but I stumbled onto this newer location…read morein Livermore so here we are. Looks like it took over the old Harry's Hofbrau space except they turned that massive space into 2 units now, as the days of massive dining halls are starting to become a rarity. Order at a counter and food gets brought to your table. There's a full bar (which I thought was strange for this type of food) but this is also Livermore where it still tends to have a stronger drinking culture than most other suburban towns. Most of the seating is in their 'outdoor' patio which is pretty well enclosed with one of those catering tents. Babaghanoush ($8/2.5*) Looked great with warm pita and an olive oil drizzle on top. Texture was spot on creamy and soft but they overloaded this usually delicate dip/mezze with enough raw garlic to kill a horse. Now I usually love garlic but this was to the point where you couldn't taste anything else so main ingredient which is roasted eggplant, you couldn't even tell what it was. And your mouth was tingling with that harsh garlic taste for minutes after chewing it down. Instead of wasting it, I packed it home and used it like Toum to spread onto other things. I've actually had Toums less potent than this. Adana Kabob ($19/4.5*) This a ground lamb kabob Turkish style. Similar to a Lule, Koobideh, Shami kabobs from other cultures. Turkish has pretty bold spicing but not as strong as Afghan or Pakistani. And definitely more assertive than Persian or Armenian. So kind of in the middle of the spectrum. I loved the texture and the flavor, just maybe a tad ambitious on the charring. Now that char did add an awesome grill flavor but a couple degrees more than burnt qualities may then be perceived. Combo Beef/Lamb Kabob $20/4*) For combos you can actually pick from several kabobs. They use smaller chunks like half inch cubes small. It is very natural tasting, no heavy marinades or spicing. Tasted like just salt to me so you can really taste the protein. But very well done but not really dry. I just prefer larger chunks like at least 1 inch cubes, so the meat stays juicy and succulent. Afghan and Persian kabobs usually have bigger pieces on those skewers. And these plates have a side of salted plain rice (not basmati) a green salad, some pita and a nice dollop of hummus which was top notch. Decent food, efficient service is going to make them a solid option for me in this town. Iskender, lamb shanks still in the zone for me to try.

They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!

A Decent Downtown Spot with Great Salmon but Slow Service…read more We came to Maple Street Eatery, located at the end of the street in charming downtown Livermore, for lunch around 12:30 on a Saturday. It was very busy, and we had to wait approximately 20 minutes to get a table. Once seated, it took our server another 10 minutes just to come over and take our order. They were clearly low on staff, but to their credit, the staff members were definitely friendly despite the rush. The food quality varied quite a bit across our table: The highlight of the meal was the Blackened Atlantic Wild Salmon, which my wife ordered. It was served over Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and roasted seasonal organic vegetables, all topped with a lemon, butter, caper, and white wine sauce. This dish was an absolute 5/5--perfectly executed. I ordered the 14 oz New York Steak with scalloped potatoes and charred organic seasonal vegetables, topped with cowboy butter. I asked for it medium-well and really enjoyed the steak, giving it a solid 4/5. My friend ordered Mama's Crispy Tacos (two chicken and one potato), which came with cotija, lettuce, avocado, crema, and pico de gallo, served alongside a spicy green salsa and pinto bean smash. They rated this a good 4/5. On the flip side, my friend also tried the Grilled Baja Prawn Tacos. Served on flour tortillas over a bed of mixed greens with pineapple salsa and chipotle sauce, this dish really lacked flavor and was a disappointing 2/5. We also started with the Seasonal Mixed Greens salad, which came with green apple slices, candied pecans, seasonal berries, and a white balsamic vinaigrette on the side. This was just okay, landing at a 3/5. Overall, Maple Street Eatery is a decent place for brunch or lunch. If the service becomes more efficient and a few of the food items are improved to match the quality of the salmon and steak, we would definitely make this a regular spot to visit.

I rarely take the time to write restaurant reviews, but Fremont Kabob here in Mountain House, deserves special recognition. This place transcends the typical dining experience; it's a culinary journey that rivals traveling abroad. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to Kabul. The ambiance--rich with aromas, music, and decor--creates an immersive environment that sets the stage for what's to come. The food is nothing short of divine. Each dish invites you to savor a symphony of spices and flavors that are both vibrant and complex. There were moments when I found myself pausing, fork in hand, with my eyes closed, simply enjoying the experience--my taste buds singing, "This is truly exceptional." The Staff and Manger are a joy to interact with. I could rave on about each detail, but the best advice I can give is this: visit Fremont Kabob and indulge in the flavors for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! read more

I am from Portland OR and staying in Livermore to help a sick relative. I can't say enough good things about this place! High quality food, delicious and healthy. So happy I discovered this place: best meal I had in 4 days! The service was speedy and they were ultra polite and attentive. I had the deluxe wrap: amazingly good hummus, falafel, potatoes and some other goodies in a lavash wrapper. Yum! They even gave me a sample of their lentil soup...better than I can make myself, and I'm a good cook. And three kinds of baklava for dessert. This is a plant-based eater's dream, but they also have some meats for those who like. I will be back. My only complaint is that they don't have a location in Portland. read more

Usually, I don't even notice the pita, but Yafa's is a must have (comes with the bowl). Chicken Shawarma was well charred, but the juicy Gyro was even better! The spicy hummus was amazing: not spicy but lingers - another must have. Garlic sauce (must have) and baba ghanoush complemented all the other flavors. Tzaziki was nice, but dolma wasn't memorable. I'll skip the falafel sliders next time - the falafel was flavorful, but dry. Overall, everything was seasoned with care - nothing was overly salty. Highly recommended. read more
