    Horrible food. I would not recommend going here. If you're interested in falafel, there's plenty of other options in the area

    The customer service really stands out here. I ordered the kebab majadara (beef meatball) over a…read moresalad, and the meat was sooooo tender and flavorful. It paired surprisingly well with the fresh, crunchy salad and fluffy pita. I just wish it came with some hummus...I ended up stealing some from my boyfriend's shawarma plate. Also ordered one falafel on the side and they ended up giving us one extra since they forgot about it. Small gesture, but appreciated and a reflection of their excellent service.

The vegetables provided crunch and freshness with every bite. I asked for spicy and everything. The spices and sauces complemented all of the ingredients well and really pulled together all the flavors. I didn't have lunch and needed a snack to tide me over until dinner and this was the perfect snack size, satisfying but not heavy. I was impressed with this half sandwich and it made me want to try their other items as well. I ordered my falafel sandwich as to-go even though I decided to eat there. They just wrap the half sandwich in paper and it is quite difficult to eat due to how packed the sandwich is. In the future, definitely tell them that you're eating there so they give you a plate. Seating is picnic table style in their bright and airy building. Their meat plates look really good and I want to try them next time.

The portions are generous, with fresh ingredients and crispy pita chips being the perfect toppings to the salad. The shop itself is decently sized with room for groups of up to about 6! The service is super friendly and quick. You order at the counter and seat yourself. They also sell their sauces by the jar as well as a few other pieces of merchandise. Next time I will absolutely try a shawarma wrap!

Nothing. Very short and uninterested. Ambiance: 2/5 - feels like a grocery store.. it's also not well lit.. Food: 3/5 - let's start with the fact that I didn't get my entire order. Well I didn't get the side that came with my order. So the chicken shawarma Arabic style wrap. Well.. chicken flavor wasn't too bad to be fair, but the pickles seemed old, and the wrap in general looked a bit sad and lacked some more flavors. Lastly, I think this place is about 20% over priced. Let's put it this way, if you are hungry, it will do the trick.. it's not the worst, but definitely far from the best.

    My husband and I decided to walk here 7pm on a Friday and I am so glad we did!…read more The service was wonderful and the food was 10/10. You can definitely split plates here as the portions are big. We ordered the falafels, baba ganoush, chicken souvlaki plate and the gyro plate. We will be adding this one to our rotation!

    1st time here. A friend invited me to join her, and said it was where many of her co-workers ate…read more The short version is: my meal was very sub-par, and way over-priced. The details: I normally don't eat a lot of meat, so I chose the Falafel Salad. It came with extremely little lettuce, plus a few olives (which I don't eat), onions (which I also eat sparingly), tomatoes, cucumbers, and the falafel balls. Oh! And there was feta cheese, but those were such miniscule pieces, and so few, that I wouldn't have remembered it was supposed to be part of the salad, if I didn't just pull up a photo online with their ordering system. What you see in the photo online is not what you get. The photo actually looks like a salad. Since it was called a salad, I expected there to be more lettuce, than the few pieces on the plate. I mainly was cutting up the cucumber & tomato pieces to go with the falafels. I don't even recall any dressing. There were also some pita slices with what I assumed was hummus. Whatever the dip was, it did not taste good to me at all. So I left all of the pita bread, as well, since it was dry without anything on it. Maybe what I assumed was hummus was a dressing. Hard to know, but it was not tasty. For the $27 I paid at a walk up counter, I would have expected much better food! I have bought frozen falafels at Lunardis (around $7) and made a salad for them at home, and enjoyed it very much, which is why I ordered it. I have purchased Spanakopita at the store many times, (about $5 for around 12 of them at the store) and made them at home, which is why I didn't order that. The falafel salad was not an enjoyable meal for me at Yiassoo's. I'd also seen some reviews from a few years back that said they paid around $10 or $11 for their meal. That is more in-line price-wise with what you get, based upon my meal. With most of the meals around $20 for lunch, I feel they were very over-priced. I also asked my friend if she'd like to split a Baklava. They had a pistachio one & chocolate one. My friend wanted to try the chocolate one, so I bought that. I didn't think I was too into baklava, but thought it might be nice to try at this highly rated Greek restaurant. The main flavor that came through was the honey & nuts. The chocolate was just a tiny, narrow drizzle on top. I didn't hate it, but I would never order it again. My friend took one bite, and said she mainly tasted the honey, and would take it home for her husband. It may be very good baklava, but it was not to our tastes. My friend ordered the Gyro salad. It had a large pile of shaved meat, and she seemed to enjoy it. She ordered it To-Go, as she knew she'd be taking some of it home. She seemed to have more lettuce under her pile of meat than my meal got. Maybe because it was in a To-Go box, which might be larger than the plate? Or maybe the person making my salad just wasn't paying attention to how to make a decent meal. I was hoping I was trying a restaurant that I could go back to for something different. Based upon my experience, I would not go back, if I had a choice. I gave it 3 stars, because maybe other dishes, or people looking to just eat meat or falafel balls and not much else would enjoy it. I only have the 1 meal to review, but it does not encourage me to try it again. Overpriced & not a fulfilling meal.
