Every single dish was super tasty and done to expectation. Service was pretty prompt and very knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Ambience inside was chill and not too loud. I really loved everything about this place. read more

I got The Shouk in a Laffa. Overall it was tasty! It had a little spice kick to it that I wasn't expecting, maybe 2.5-3 out of 5 spice level. I'm not sure it was worth paying more for the laffa, I probably would have been just as happy with the Pita or as a bowl. Parking: the garage next to Krog St Market gives you 1hr free parking Monday-Thursday! Otherwise it's paid lots or free street parking. read more

Yalla - The Shouk in a laffa- yummy with spice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Yalla is a great spot that I haven't been to in a while at Krog Street Market. I got the chicken shawarma pita and it doesn't disappoint. This is a sandwich that you don't need sides to fill up. Delicious sandwich, but I wish they would had made the chicken warmer. Friendly and quick service. I love the atmosphere at Krog. read more

I stopped by for lunch on Tuesday, 2/4/25, at 12 pm. There was no line and our orders were ready very quickly. Here's what I got, prices according to my receipt: - Chicken Shawarma Laffa ($15): Delicious! Definitely spicy. So much flavor. All the ingredients tasted so fresh. - Fries ($6): This came with so many fries! Thick and good. It's definitely pricey, but well worth it. I was so full after and had leftover fries. read more

Love Yalla and proud to support them. The shawarma tastes like home. No better feeling. Love the quick service and the always happy and respectful employees. read more

While in the upper 3-star range, I opted to give benefit of the doubt in grading up due to (1) my overall impression; (2) distinctiveness relative to competition; and (3) economic utility, relatively and absolutely. The food here is well-priced, especially given the strong quality of ingredients and execution. While there is room for improvement in execution, flavor and spices are not lacking here; something which is quite uncommon in major cities in the US. Even among ethnic foods, there is a common and prevailing trend to water down or alter flavor and spice index to accommodate mainstream tastes. While very modern and trendy, this restaurant adheres a Middle Eastern root while being accessible, and yet bold, distinctive, and delightful. I came here once while traveling, but I would yield benefit of the doubt that it is difficult to be disappointed here; even after numerous repeat visits. Further, the portions are very generous. Given the food hall style arrangement where this restaurant is located, I would recommend getting 2 or 3 items here and then sharing & amalgamating from numerous other options. The food here, both in quality and compatibility, work well with almost anything. I opted for Fred's for main dishes, Yalla for appetizers in the form of falafel and schwarma fries, and Little Tart Bakeshop for dessert. The service is expedient, polite, and prompt, and the food is fresh. Highly recommended. read more

Yalla at Krog street was a winner. Great food and flavor. The wings were very yummy. The sandwich was huge and was almost enough for two people. The chicken was tender and the fries added to the filling. Awesome food and nice staff. Definitely stop by for food when you're on the beltline read more

I've been coming to Yalla every so often for years and it's been a while since my last review! First things first, their falafel is some of the best you'll find in the city. It's perfectly herbaceous and crispy and just a delight to the tastebuds, truly. If I'm going to Krog, I'll usually try to stop by Yalla for a side of falafel. The last few times I've gone, I've ordered the chicken shawarma salad bowl, which is just okay... not my fave. I used to love the bowls, which came with your choice of protein, hummus, labne, chopped cucumber and tomato, pickles, and, if I recall correctly, a choice of sauce. I know I preferred zhug more than tahini. It might have even come with tahini as well though. Anyway, the menu has changed a bit over the years, because now all the bowls are salad bowls with lettuce (don't remember right now but pretty sure it's iceberg) and ranch labne. No option of a sauce, even though I could likely just ask for zhug and no lettuce. But that kind of defeats the purpose. Needless to say, I preferred the bowls the way they were previously. I love a good salad, but in this case, I don't think the lettuce adds anything to the flavor. If anything, I think it actually diminishes it a bit. I think the pita or laffa options would be better. I just tend to go for bowls. Service is generally fairly quick and the food is consistent with what you expect. The waiting area in front of the counter can get a little crowded from all the surrounding restaurants, but if you know what to expect it's fine. If you like falafel and other Middle Eastern food, Yalla is worth trying out for sure. read more

Yalla - Chicken Shawarma salad bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Decided to come to Krog street market on a Sunday afternoon and grab some dinner!! I had never eaten there before despite living in Atlanta for so long so it was great to walk around krog!! Parking is easy as I just chose to parallel park in a nearby neighborhood. After walking around, I settled on Yalla because I adore Mediterranean food!! I got the chicken shawarma bowl and it came out super quickly! The guy at the counter was really friendly as well. Brought the bowl home and gave it try! It is an absolutely jam packed bowl so be prepared for lots of food. Overall the bowl was good just a couple complaints. With tip I walked out for just under $20 which felt steep for me. The bowl was good but it did feel like some of the flavors were competing vs mixing with each other but overall the bowl was good! read more

Oh my! This is the fastest I have EVER left a review on a restaurant. The chicken shawarma laffa was the most incredible that I've had since Asia travels. The flavors.. great! The size... huge! Ingredients.. fresh Had falafel and fries on the side- best choices! Fries were think and salted; falafel was crisp and tasty. Damn, thank you Yalla! Apologies that I walk past the stall all the time. read more

I eat here often after going to dancing dogs yoga. It is a delicious middle eastern place in KSM. I always get the laffa with the fried eggplant and add lamb. It's an absolutely wrap that normally lasts me two meals. The eggplant is perfectly fried and not soggy, the lamb is juicy tender and well seasoned. I love that the wrap has a large amount of vegetables and greens. I always forget what each ingredient is but the staff is always happy to explain things to me and offer suggestions as needed. There's lots of Vegan and vegetarian options if you just omit the yogurt. read more

This is my first time ever writing a review but honestly I was so disappointed that I have to. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with rice and it is so under seasoned that it takes like nothing at all. Most of the chicken was fat and not edible. Really sad that this was $18:( read more

Really good Mediterranean food. I ordered the chicken shawarma laffa (a wrap). It was HUGE! So tasty though! I also ordered a falafel plate and they were delicious. My husband got the lamb. He said it was good but he felt like it was a small portion. We came on a Saturday around 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. The guy working there was soooo nice! So 5 stars for him! Parking was hectic but there's a structure you can park at that's pretty pricy though read more

Yalla is incredible. The Sabich was absolutely delicious and that is super hard to find in America. Definitely recommend!

One of the food stands inside Krog St Market, its arabic/ middle eastern spot. Gotta say, the first time I ever had arabic food- it was pleasantly surprising. Never had israeli salad before but I can tell you its good! I got the Chicken Schwarma BOWL. Theres salad smeared on the outside of the bowl. Filled with chicken, israeli salad, fried eggplant, harrissa and tahini sauces. Super simple menu but lots of exciting sauces/spreads to try out. Recommend? Yes! Don't be afraid to try something new Return? Yes read more

Had a great experience eating lunch at Yalla. The staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations for the meal. We got an Olive plate (which included pickles, capers, and cauliflower pickled as well), a falafel plate, falafel pita, and a chicken schwarma pita. The only slight critique I would give was the chicken schwarma pita was a bit heavy on the pickles inside, so keep that in mind if someone in your family doesn't like them. The falafel's were fried fresh in front of us. They were served in very nice containers. The only thing I gave a four star was the atmosphere. You have to pay to park (4.00 for one hour) and then there was no seating available on a weekday at 12:30 so that was a bummer. Everything else was awesome. Keep on, Yalla! read more

Came here on a break! Fast service, great prices, friendly customer service! And best part the food is super delicious! I ordered the chicken shawarma pita. Sooo much flavor in every bite! And a huge portion. I could only eat half. Enjoyed the other half later and it was still super tasty! Definitely recommend! read more

I literally can't say enough good things about Yalla. The food here is off the charts good. I almost always get the chicken schwarma laffa. This is basically a Middle Eastern burrito with chicken and various toppings. They also have some tasty sodas and it looKs like they have fries now! I'll have to try those next time. The only thing I wouldn't ordeR again is the desert. It looks like a cake but it tastes nothing lIKe cake. If you want to try it, maybe get one for your table and everyone can have a taste. read more

Not sure what happened but my bowl was half full of lettuce. I've ordered several times from Yalla but this might be my last if this is their new bowl. Sparse on the chicken too. What a shame. read more

I was very excited to try this place out but it fell short of expectations. I tried their chicken shawarma bowl which was I believe $12. It came out very quickly and service was nice. Although the chicken was soft, it was lukewarm and relief heavily on sauces for flavor. The hummus was very plain and the redder spicier sauce lacked flavor which left just spice. I wish it came with more veggies as I felt my bowl was basically only chicken, especially towards the end. The sauces were rimmed along the inner part of the bowl, which was innovative but also a very thin layer. I dont see myself coming back for the chicken shawarma. read more

Yalla - Chicken shawarma. Lacked flavor and veggies but chicken was soft. :( - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Revisited Yalla a couple years later and it is still solid. The concept is basically fast casual Mediterranean (although I think it might be more specifically Israeli based on what they call some of their items) and they offer various a la carte dips as well as several entrees that comprise a protein plus various toppings/sauces that you can have in either pita, laffah, or bowl form. The first time I came I had the shouk, which is a huge hearty bowl of food (had it in bowl form). The sabich (in pita form) last time was ok but not the best sabich I've ever had. This time I had the chicken shawarma bowl, which is basically exactly the same as the shouk except minus the fries and plus some fried eggplant. It was a VERY filling, very flavorful lunch. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and all the add ins go great together. The harissa is slightly but not overly spicy (honestly, the heat is barely noticeable but the flavor shines). The bright tang of the peach amba and the pickles is very necessary to balance out the richness of the hummus and tahini. If I had one note, it's that I wish there was more of the chopped salad in the bowl to increase the fresh crunch to creamy richness ratio. This may not look like a huge meal but it will END YOU so make sure you come hungry! I am generally a monster when it comes to food but I actually needed a nap after this one. The folks working there today were so lovely as well. I think next time I will try the salatim. read more

3-3-2021 I've given this place many chances since my first review which was 5 stars, been coming here for years. But this blatant shortage of food to the customer for the same amount is highway robbery! I will never come here again. I'm so done with this place from the horrible customer service to now the food portion. I drove a hour away for a dog bowl portion of food lol never again! read more

I was so hungry and decided to try Yalla's Shwarma wrap. OMG it did not disappoint! It was so flavorful, juicy, hearty, and not messy due to the double wrapping. Plus it was ready in 2 mins. Next time I'm at Krog St. I'll get it again. read more

This is a shop inside Krog, we order the baba ganoush. The service was good, the employees were nice and came out relatively quick. We ordered it with extra pita but it looked different than normal pita. There was too much tahini in the actual baba ganoush and even more tahini on it. Maybe it is just personal preference, but I just don't enjoy that much tahini. I wish you were able to taste the eggplant and that maybe an olive oil finish rather than the tahini. Most likely we got the wrong thing, but I would not personally recommend the baba ganoush. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: Krog Street Market Value: 2/5 ------ Stopped by this place for a quick bite to try a few places here in the market, and got the chicken shawarma bowl. Did not realize it would not come with no pita or rice or any sort of grain/starch, but this was my fault. Definitely would have helped, because the food was so salty! Lots of flavors, but I was hoping for something more bright and fresh, what I got was something oily and salty. Really heavy, which may be what you're looking for, but for a mediterranean bowl, I was expecting more nuanced flavors. The portion was a decent size, we definitely could not finish it given the heaviness of the food. Service was fine and fast, appreciated their help. read more

Good overall. The flavors and sauces in the falafel bowl were delicious, but the falafel itself was hard and the texture was too dry. The minute steak was really well seasoned, but was served cold. I might ask for it warmed up next time. read more

They are located inside a booth at Krog Street Market. I really appreciate that krog has free parking, though it's limited, and offers free flat and sparkling water-- I feel like it encourages people to drink more water. I always get the same thing-- the "shouk" in a laffa. The laffa is key y'all. They warm it up and it's always soft with a little bit of doughy stretchy texture. It holds all of the ingredients inside really well and it is much bigger than the pita portion so you well definitely be satisfied and full. Service is always courteous and the order is usually ready within 10-15 minutes or so of ordering. Really tasty and consistent in flavor and ratio of. Yum. I originally intended to give this place 5 stars, but I went back recently and the food was kind of disappointing. After waiting the usually time of about 15 minutes, my food was cold, fries were mushy, and the overall taste wasn't that good/seemed off. Really disappointed because I live a minimum of 40 minutes away (without traffic) and was really excited to eat here again ))): read more

Located in the Krog Street Market, Yalla presents a menu of Israeli-inspired eats served in a pita, a laffa wrap, or a bowl. My favorite part of any Israeli meal is the salatim, or freshly-prepared vegetable dishes, and an order of the Salatim Bowl here came with a huge selection including hummus, chopped cucumber/tomato salad, pickled cauliflower, tahini coleslaw, roasted red peppers, watermelon radish, and my favorites, the marinated mushrooms and the roasted sliced carrots, which had a fascinating chewy texture. The array of vegetables were piled into a bowl and topped with tahini and cilantro, and the pita bread that came on the side made for a great accompaniment to the hummus in particular. I also tried the Lamb & Beef Kebab bowl, which came with a freshly grilled ground lamb/beef skewer served along with baba ghanoush, chopped salad, spicy green zhug, and fried eggplant slices. The standouts from this bowl were the hearty meat skewer and the fried eggplant (though it was on the greasy side), and everything went nicely with the thick, spicy harissa sauce that came on the side! read more

Ok, so part of my disappointment here was my fault. I was disappointed that I couldn't have ramen which is what I was craving and when I'm disappointed I want comfort food.. which for me, is middle eastern food. I was also pregnant and starving so I needed something close, the closest was yalla. I have eaten here many years ago but never went back which kind of set the stage for me. I had my husband go pick up my bowl and color me surprised when I realized, OMG KILLME, THERE IS NO RICE. How should I have a comfort food shawerma bowl with no rice?! I guess I just assumed the bowl would come with rice but alas, there is nothing about rice on the menu. The flavors of everything are good but I feel it's poorly executed in the bowl. I could see about 3 different dips in the bottom of the bowl but it was so hard to get to them and each bite was completely different; I had no idea what I was going to get next. There was a lot more chicken than there was everything else and I found myself eating around it to try and get to other things. I would have preferred the bowl all separated into a mezza plate so I could have a little of this, a little of that. Instead it was just one big mashup of eggplant, chicken, chopped salad and every dip we offer. Individually it was all delicious. I will give them another try and maybe change it to a laffa next time. read more

I had my mouth fixated on a falafel laffa when my cousin and I decided to visit Krog Street market for lunch on Saturday afternoon. I must say I was thoroughly satisfied with the filling and the falafel itself. What I wasn't too thrilled about was the price of $13. While I was already expecting having to pay this amount, I had hoped a side or drink would've accompanied the main dish. Very enjoyable though! read more

I don't ever leave bad reviews but I am so disappointed. We have been coming to Yalla for many years and recommend it to everyone. Came in today. The servers were rude. We were served cold, barely filled pitas. Basically mixed lettuce , sauce a half teaspoon of Israeli salad, skimp protein and sauces. I'm sad because if this is the new yalla I will never come back! read more

In Kroger street - I've been here before but didn't leave a review so here's a review this time. I tried "the shouk" bowl because it comes with fries. The one ingredient I overlooked was harissa which made the bowl pretty spicy for me. It was also kinda salty. I can't get this item next time because I have zero tolerance for spice. I would like to try the other items since I recall liking this place the first time. read more

I really wanted falafel, and they were out. I went around 11:30. To be out of falafel tells me they are definitely not making it fresh because there's no way they were already sold out that early. So, maybe the falafel would have been a better experience. I ended up getting a shawarma. It was fine. Nothing special. The service was insanely slow. It was before the lunch rush and I waited nearly 25 minutes for 1 pita. It was ok, but there are way better options at Krog. read more

TL;DR: Your order is made in no time at all. So if you're in the area and looking for a quick Mediterranean spot, give this place a try. You can take it to go, or sit inside/outside and enjoy your meal. Parking: The Krog Street Market has a paid lot that you can park in. If you don't want to pay, you'll have to park on the street in a neighborhood close by. COVID policies: You are required to wear a mask inside of Krog Street Market (KSM). Staff was also wearing masks. Service: Your food is done in no time, and the staff quickly answered all my questions about the menu. Seating: There are tables to sit and stand at inside of KSM. But I went at night (around 7) and it was crowded. The patrons inside were barely wearing masks, so I opted to eat outside. There are tables outside that are decently spread out. Food: Mediterranean is my favorite, so I was excited to try this place. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Bowl, Hummus Plate and Tarragon Limeade. Overall the food was pretty good. It's worth a try but not the best I've had. *Chicken Shawarma Bowl - The bowl was nicely presented and filling. I had leftovers. The fried eggplant in the bowl was a little salty, so make sure you have some water near to wash that down a bit. Also order a side of pita with the bowl. It'll help cut down on the explosion of flavors in the bowl. *Hummus Plate- the plate was just okay. You can skip it. If you do order it, the amount of pita that comes with it is not enough, so you'll need to order extra. You get a good amount of hummus, so it's best that you order it and share it with others. *Tarragon Limeade - This soda had a very light fizz, and was slightly sweetened. It was pretty refreshing! read more

Absolutely fresh and tasty eats! Yalla is one of my sister's favorite spots so we went here for lunch. It was a hard pick too considering all the different food options at Krog Street Market. They had me at Baba Ganoush! Ordered the baba ganoush, chicken schwarma laffa and falafel laffa. For the main items, you have a choice of getting the meals with a pita, laffa or bowl. The laffa is a traditional Middle Eastern bread, it reminds me of a thinner Naan bread. Everything was very tasty and full of flavor. The laffa bread was perfectly thin and soft. We got pita triangles to dip with our baba ganoush and it was fluffy but too thick and bready. I'm happy we went with the laffa option. The presentation on the baba ganoush was very pretty. The laffa portions were huge so you can share or have leftovers. read more

Y'all this place is the bomb. When reviewers say this taste like authentic Mediterranean food, they aren't lying! This stall is hiding in Krog Street market with a large array of food options both meat and vegetarian. Although Krog Street Market opens earlier, Yalla opens at 11:30 which I guess makes sense because who eats Mediterranean food for breakfast? I guess I was extremely excited to try this place because I was ready to EAT! If you come to the market with an appetite, this is the place to go and definitely order their Mediterranean bowls. I ordered their shawarma bowl which was filled with all the amazing components of Mediterranean food that you could ever wish for. It had deliciously seasoned chicken with salad, pickles, fried eggplant and the bowl was coated with hummus and baba ganoush. Every bite was flavorful and unique, and my mouth was in heaven! I may be biased, but I have to say this is my favorite place in Krog Street market despite the fact that this is the only place I was able to try during my time in Atlanta. For hummus/ Mediterranean food enthusiasts like me, this is the place to go! read more

Yalla is healthier than many of the other delicious options at Krog. That's what I tell myself to assuage my guilt every time I eat here. The bowls are satisfying, the laffas (essentially big pita roll sandwiches) are large, and I'm satisfied every time I eat here. I usually get the bowl as they're not too expensive and have sufficient quantity and diversity in composition. My one caveat: sometimes their food can be a little too salty and exacerbate thirst. It's unpredictable, but lately they've toned it down. Stay hydrated. read more

Wow, what a wonderful weekend it was down at Krog Street Market. I tried a bunch of food, had lots of laughs and even better company. Yalla was the second place I tried out. Everything looked so wonderful so of course I was excited to try this one out! I'm a bread girl, and the pita and laffa did not disappoint. However, I wish the chicken was more flavorful. My laffa was jam packed with vegetables and various creamy textures such as humus and I think tahini sauce. Overall, it was pretty decent. I would love to go back and try something else on the menu. The soda was definitely different than anything I've ever tasted before. read more
