    Love the advertisements.

    For being fairly new in the area and organic. Most of the products vegan and It's amazing. They started from a farmers market and worked their way up. My daughter loves hummus so you can imagine her face when I took her there. I originally heard through the Placentia buzz group on Facebook which had a lot of great reviews especially on local businesses. We were able to taste the products before we bought them and the pita chips are made fresh. So you can't beat that. Highly recommended they sell out fast so check them out.

    So I ended up buying some of their product only to find pieces of roach inside. See these pictures. When my daughter bit in she had an unnecessary crunch

    Mint and habanero hummus with a bean salad topping served with a side of pita bread.

    HUMMUS! I wasn't a big hummus fan until I tried Yalla's. Yalla's hummus are fresh, creamy and just DELICIOUS! Store bought commercial hummus are nothing comparable to theirs. You can really taste the different herbs and veggies incorporated in their hummus. I stock up weekly at the Lakewood Farmer's market. Haz (owner) and Jay are very friendly. They value your critique and review and improve their recipes accordingly to your tastes and expectations. They have many different choices and very often they bring out new flavors to see what is popular among the crowds. Also, you have to love the complimentary samples. You can taste before buying! Prices are reasonable for taste and freshest ingredients. -1 for $5 -3 for $13 -5 for $20 My favorite items and a must try are: HUMMUS: -Cilantro jalapeño -Spicy hummus -Black bean chipotle -Garlic and chives (very garlicky ) -Artichoke and spinach Tzatziki -Original (yummy) -Jalapeño (hint of spice) New items I am trying this week are Mint and Habanero Hummus and a bean salad. You're first introduce with the hint of mint which makes it unique then, boom, the habanero spice kicks in. BEWARE...this is spicy! I LIKE. But if you can't eat spicy then keep away from this item. Next, the bean salad consists of corn, carrots, peas, kidney beans, chickpeas, chopped jalapeño and green onions. This item is my least favorite, so most likely will not buy. The veggies taste frozen or rubbery to me, probably from soaking in the lime juice. Can't wait for next week!

    Amaizing hummus! Some of the best I've ever had! I came in because I have food allergies and their products are Halal, vegan, non-GMO and gluten free. The staff here is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They offered me multiple samples and explained the ingredients in each item. They make thier hummus and pita chips will olive oil and no preservatives, unlike the brands sold at the market that use canola oil. The pita bread is so soft delicious. We literally cannot keep it in the house for more then a few days before running out. Yalla has taken a fresh approach to hummus and incorporated so many amazing flavors into this traditional dish. I am so glad they opened up a retail location! Shop small and support this local business!!! Warning: you will be ruined for all other hummus once you've tried Yalla!

    I love the Hummus it's so creamy and tasty! Perfectly balanced flavor I've had the Cilantro Jalapeño , Garlic and Chive , and the Classic but the best one is cilantro jalapeño ! With the pita chips !!

    Yalla humus now has a store front for all your hummus goods. Omg, they have so many flavors to choose from. After sampling them all, I left with all kinds of hummus that I never knew existed. I didn't even know there's such thing as a chocolate flavored hummus(a must try).

    Fantastic place!

    Is this place currently open?

    Yes, absolutely now in Irvine

    Is this place still here?

    Yes, now they opened in Irvine

    Is this location closed for good,I see pick up is no longer an option😔?

    Yes, they opened in Irvine again and today was my first time trying it from the past few years highly recommended with the new menu they just added.

    Is your shop still open? Came by at 3:30pm on a Thursday and the place looks bare. Hoping to try this hummus everyone raves about.

    This great hummus was carried by a small Persian Market in Anaheim Hills. Not sure if it’s still there as I found it too far from my house to get to.

    Hi, are you guys still open? I stopped by 1/16/2020 at 11am and it was closed. Which farmers market can I find you at?

    Yes, open in Irvine and they have a new menu must try

    Are they at a farmers market on Sundays? If so, which one?

    They are at down town Santa Ana on Sundays.

    Are they at the farmers market in Bixby knolls in long beach on thursdays?

    I know they make the rounds of farmers market daily but not sure if that one specifically... sure if you call them they could clarify! Good Luck!

    Is this place still open?? Drove by on 2/5/18 at about 3 PM and the place looked boarded up and closed down.

    Hey Sandra, hope you're having a wonderful day. I would like to apologize about the hours, we are still semi-opened. Our hours are 10-6 for now however, at times the employee makes emergency drives to the farmers market to assist with supplies. This…

    Came in today at 1 pm. I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. I ordered the chicken…read moreshawarma plate, and the portion of chicken was surprisingly small, just a few tiny strips compared to a huge mountain of rice. It honestly felt like the plate was mostly rice rather than a chicken shawarma plate. As well the pita bread does not seem freshly made but packaged taken out of a bag from a market. The hummus and tzatziki were also very watery and lacked the texture I expected. I tried the cucumber refresher as well, which was okay, but it had a noticeable tap-water taste that made it less enjoyable. What bothered me most was the service. When our server asked if everything was okay, I politely mentioned that there was very little chicken on my plate. Instead of acknowledging my concern, offering an explanation, or trying to make it right, he simply walked away. Why ask how everything is if you're going to ignore the answer? Unfortunately, I left feeling like I basically paid for a plate of rice. I was full, but mostly because of the mountain of rice, not because I received a satisfying chicken shawarma meal. Between the portions, watery sauces, and dismissive service, this was a disappointing experience.

    Well, I think I have a new favorite Persian kabob restaurant! It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

    This was my first time here, and unfortunately, it was not what I expected. The food didn't taste…read moreauthentic, and I was disappointed with the overall experience. .

The grilling was done skillfully, but I must say that due to the size of the actual meat chunks, my skewers were rare, not med rare. But, delicious and savory nonetheless. The salad was crispy with red onions, tomato wedges, cucumbers. It was under dressed but still very tasty. Also had the humus which was good, a bit more oil would be nice. My daughter had the Spanikopita appetizer which looked really good with a lot of filling. My wife had the soup that was very tasty, with dill sprinkled on top, cannot remember the name. The soup was steaming hot, which is how I like any soup to be served. For dessert we had a Baklava that was sweet, but so crispy it was a bit hard to eat, almost too dense and crispy-dry. Definitely worthy of a 5 star rating. Someone who is serious about quality ingredients designed this menu. I would enjoy eating here again.

Turns out multiple food shops occupy this location. You'll have to ring the Ring doorbell of the shop you ordered from. Likes: + Yummy food.

Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.
