Such good Israeli food! The freshest falafel I've had - they make yours right in front of you. Fluffy, homemade pita. Dense halvah. Pretty solid stuffed cabbage and hummus, but the falafel is the star of the show here, as is the green-garlic sauce you can add to the side with their homemade tahini. Recommending to anyone in the area with such kind owners. 5 stars!!!! read more

I've been here twice, the menu is limited, if you don't want falafel, there really isn't much else. Yes it's vegan, besides the eggs you can add on, but if you like falafel and homemade sauce's, pita bread, and fresh house made pickles, it is really spot on. I make falafel at home sometimes and mezze platters. I've eaten middle Eastern food in many cities and this is some of the best falafel I've ever eaten. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I enjoy things that are whole foods and happen to be in those categories. It's only open a few days a week, and it's best eaten soon after ordering. Inside has some high tables to done in. I think the bathroom is down a flight of stairs. read more

My order: the Yalla bowl with everything on it, limonana The review: I had been here before, but never as a gluten free girly (lol). It was insanely good. Everything is GF aside from the pita and the desserts . The bowl was fresh and falafel was crispy and flavorful. There was even a toppings bar with pickled veggies and olives. You can add any of their soups for $3 more. The limonana was pretty sweet though balanced by the sour lemons, and it's so perfect for a hot and sunny day. All in all, Yalla Vermont has incredibly high quality food that's well-worth your money. read more

Absolutely delicious! The best falafel sandwich I've ever had. Zohar (sp?) was kind, patient, and actually took the time to ask about our day. Outstanding atmosphere! We will most definitely return soon! read more

I had the half falafel sandwich and pita fries with hummus. Service was good, I got through the line fast. The sandwich was excellent, especially the pita, and the pita fries were unlike any fried pita I've had before, light and crispy with the perfect amount of oil. The hummus was creamy and delicious. read more

Amazing food and wonderful people! The gentleman behind me drives up weekly from my neck of the woods @Northampton because it's the best Israeli food in the country he said. He is right! Loved the murals, decor, and everything about this place. read more

The food was amazing, fresh, delicious and spiced just right! The service was pro, sandwich with freshly made pita, falafel, eggplant, veggies, made quickly right in front of us, and the most delicious Curry Red Lentil Soup! To top it off, melt in your mouth Rugula & Turkish Coffee!! read more

If you're in Brattleboro for a meal, Yalla is definitely the place to eat! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is just happy. We split the Yalla Yalla (you can skip the pita for a gluten free option) although, my husband said the pita was fluffy and amazing. The falafel was crispy and fresh and the egg was delicious. Great hummus and tahini. Loved the pickles too. Okay, I loved everything. I'll definitely be returning if I find myself in Brattleboro again! read more

I haven't had Mediterranean food this good in the United States! The front fryer is falafel only, which is gluten free. The hummus is fresh, the pita is light and airy!!

Yalla is delish, I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to brave the long lines. The service is great. Only thing I'd say is it's not very disability friendly, not a lot of room if you're using a mobility aid read more

Impeccable food, the best I've ever had in New England. All the staff is really friendly, and always super packed so get there when it opens

Owner is kind , food is Devine, I now have a new stop on my way to Vermont. We had to stop on our trip there and back as well !!! Few options but it's just amazingly good... yalla yalla is the way to go ....comes with falafel, eggplant , few salads, clouds of pita pockets , and tahini. Wish I had added the side onion salad to both meals, great add on ! read more

Yalla, Yalla! LET'S GO!!!!! Best falafel on the East Coast? In the country? Hmmmm....Yummmmm....YEP! Could very well be. Great service?? YUP! Passion and love in EVERY bite? YEP! This is true, legit, real, homemade falafel sandwich's. Amazing home baked pitote (if you know, you know). You could pour a glass of water in these pita's and they wouldn't leak. That's how it is in the middle east. Tony the Tiger would tell you these hot sauces are GRRRREEAT! Humus? On-point--fantastico. You should go. Now. Make the trip. You won't be sorry. YALLA! read more

As someone who lives for falafel, Yalla did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely delicious and totally worth it. I was so happy to find out their falafel is safe for someone like me who's both vegan and gluten-free--major win! The atmosphere was great and full of energy--it was really popping off when I went, which just added to the experience. Whether you're plant-based or just love flavorful food, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll 100% be going back. Five stars all the way! read more

I ordered the yalla yalla bowl and it was so much food! There was hummus, picked veggies, falafels, a piece of roasted eggplant, and pita bread. I couldn't finish it all and it became a second meal for me later in the day. It's a casual sit down or grab to go. Turkish coffee was unique - bitter with spices. It was a good rest stop for those going into VT. read more

This place is incredible. I had the pleasure of trying Zohar's food for the first time at a farmers market back in 2015, and somehow his food is even better than I remembered! So FRESH! I got the Yalla Sababa, a loaded pita sandwich with crispy (but smooth inside) falafel, egg, fresh salad, crunchy cabbage, roasted eggplant, spicy jalapeños (optional), etc. The side of tahini was the perfect drizzle to add on top. The pita bread is homemade and is just so perfect - fluffy, soft, and a teeny bit stretchy. It holds the infrastructure of the sandwich well. I also tried the bread pudding - wow! It has chocolate, halva, apricot. A wonderful mix of flavors that was such a treat. The service was fast and friendly. You can tell the staff have fun at work and enjoy serving this amazing vegetarian food. The interior is beautiful - a photograph mural, lots of high-top seating options, upbeat instrumental music. It's very warm and welcoming. The location is very convenient right on Main Street. I absolutely love this place and only wish I lived closer! If you're looking for *fresh*, healthy, homemade food in Brattleboro, this is a must-visit. read more

OMG, it's amazing. The food is so fresh, so authentic, supremely delicious, from the falafel, through the veggies, to the fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Standing in line is actually a joy, with the music like a seventies joy-disco, and the energy is like a love party. Friendly, down-to-earth people. Central location. I wish there were twice as many seats, and still I just wanna marry this place. read more

Extremely rude service. Not worth the hype. Much better- authentic middle eastern food in the area.

You know why you see Five star rating across the board? It's because that is what this place deserves. I had the full pita falafel with fried eggplant and the three hour boiled egg. They have an ingenious machine that pumps out the exact same size and shape for their falafel. But more importantly, it's prepared properly and they fried it perfectly. The full pita had a spiced green sauce with hummus and a variety of veggies. Then I got to pour on as much tzatiki sauce I wanted along with and onion and pickled veggies. This is possibly the best falafel sandwich I've had anywhere - and I've had them in a lot of different places that are terrific. Seriously, if you want to eat the best falafel pita sandwich, you have to come here. I wish I took a pic so you can see how great it is, but I couldn't wait to eat it. read more

Yalla is everything you want and more. The food here is exceptional, along with the customer service and employees. I've been here a handful of times and every time I come here the Yalla Yalla is spot on. It's the perfect amount of food at a reasonable price and you get to have a little taste of everything they offer. Although, it's so good, I would happily pay more if they required it. The falafel here is perfectly crispy and soft and tastes soooooo good. I love the eggplant they offer and the fava bean stew is a must add-on! It really adds to the Yalla Yalla and you really can't get the dish without it. Everything is fresh and made to order and the quality is the best you can get. In addition to their exceptional cuisine, the last time I came here I was having a very bad day and one of the employees was very kind to me. They took notice to my bad day and did something nice for me. It was very much appreciated. Yalla is the best. You have to try this place - IMMEDIATELY. read more

Simple menu, lots of flavor. Essentially, there's really only two options: everything in a pita (the Yalla Sebaba), or everything in a bowl with pita on the side (the Yalla Yalla). And with that, the options are customizable. The felafel is perfectly crisp on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. The homemade hummus is perfectly creamy and tasty in every bite. The pita is warm and doughy. It also comes with lettuce, cabbage, pickles, onions, and other vegetables. I'd suggest adding a little tahini on top. I got the Yalla Yalla, which came with 5 felafels on top of the hummus with pita on the side - All in all, it was very filling and so so good. I also tried their cardamom and halva chocolate chunk cookie , which was super decadent even a day or two later. Yalla often has a line and only limited indoor seating, but it's worth the wait! read more

Came in, tried to order. One guy took part of our order, then walked away. The owner told us to move down the line when we tried to tell him the rest, so my husband gave the rest of our order to the cashier. We sit down, wait a while. Food never comes. I try to ask the cashier about it. She says we never ordered it. Owner starts rapid firing questions at me and telling me it's our fault, but not allowing me to respond. Way too aggressive. We finally get the food. It was fine--nothing exceptional. Pretty hard to eat on tables that are 12" wide, and harder still to enjoy after that treatment. read more

Absolutely delighted. A must stop when in Brattleboro VT. The Israel olives are complementary and delicious.

I an moderately to severely obsessed with Yalla. Be prepared to wait in line during certain times and be prepared for the wait to be totally worth it. What makes Yalla so desirable is not the breadth of their menu but the simplicity of it. What they do, they do extremely well. Puffy, pillowy pita. Creamy, smooth hummus. Perfectly fried, moist and herby falafel. And then the toppings. Fried eggplant. Pickles. Salad. One sababa and you're hooked. Yalla is a destination. They sell their homemade pita, hummus, and baba ganoush so you can snack at home and reminisce. Highly recommend you try Yalla (and thank me later). read more

First of all...you will have to wait. Saturday 30 min in line. Half pita is enough. If I got the "bowl" I think I could share with a friend. It's hard to figure out what condiments to add. They are all so good. Just follow what the preparer is asking/recommending. The heat is hot so keep that in mind. Be patient it's worth it. read more

This place is incredible!!! Yalla Vermont has the best falafel I've ever had. If you love good middle eastern food, this is your place.

Everything about Yalla is nourishing and beautiful. The food, the service, even the wait.

I have tried many many a falafel joints in multiple towns and villages in Israel and the tri state area and I pride myself on being a bit of a falafel connoisseur. I also run a mental list of the best falafels out there and BREAKING NEWS! Yalla Vermont has broken into the the top 10 list! Perfect fluffy pita with perfectly fried falafel balls accompanied by fresh salad, lovely humus, a fried eggplant,very nice hot sauce (mild) and in my case a boiled egg. And as an added bonus, great service. This is as good at it gets! This one is worth a big detour for. I only wish I didn't live 170 miles away. Way to go Yalla Vermont! read more

Damn this place is good. I grew up eating Israeli food, and when it's done well, it's goooooooooooood. I don't have much to add the other people haven't already said: the pita is awesome and fluffy (the superior pita style), the food flavorful and delicious, great for vegetarians and vegans. The thing I DO want to emphasize is: go on Friday when they have the babka. Order the babka. Eat the babka. read more
