We were visiting the area from Alabama and craving some Mediterranean food to bring back to our Air b n b. We placed a pickup order from Yassin's for 4. Our meals included chicken plates, a gyro and falafel. The food was incredibly flavorful and the portions were huge. The folks at the restaurant were very nice and our food was ready when promised. We would absolutely order here again, for pickup or sit down. read more

Yassin’s Falafel House - Interior wall - Falafel Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

I absolutely enjoyed our meal here. When we first walked in, the person behind the register was there to greet us. His energy was just so welcoming and friendly. We had ordered the chicken shawarma, the gyro, 1 side of fries and 2 baklavas and the total came out to $40. The chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious. I had ordered it spicy and the flavors were great. The gyro was also delicious. Both were packed with meat and they did not skimp out on that. The fries are definitely large enough to share. The baklava was so good. Flaky, sweet with the honey and pistachio texture was just divine. There's seating inside it's not large but there were plenty of seats for everyone! Big fan of this place and definitely need to give it a try if you like Mediterranean!! read more

Good authentic Mediterranean food. Ambiance is what you would expect. Service was great!

Delicious garlic sauce with the chicken shawarma! Tables were decorated with cool balloon animals they let the kids take home. Staff was polite and got us what we needed. read more

10 stars out if 5 if I could. The plant-based shwarma is incredible and unique. The staff is kind, I always enjoy their hospitality. We've tried most of the dishes and everything is so good. Even the hummus is the best I've had anywhere. It's as smooth as whip cream and has garbanzos, oil and smoked paprika on top. Everything they create is extra good read more

First time here, I am ordering the chicken sandwich and a gyro. Oh myyy... the chicken sandwich is sooooo good here!!! Gyro is great too. The chicken garlic sauce is amazing on the chicken sandwich, comes on a pita. You have to try it. I got the regular spice, comes in regular or spicy hot. There is quite bit of meat on these sandwiches. A little pricey, but good. read more

Amazing gyro! Good amount of meat with sauce and not over saturated. Also shared some of the warm pita and hummus. The hummus was a little more oily than I like but still tasted good. Delicious warm, fresh pita bread was a great accompaniment read more

Been back many times now and all the bugs worked out from opening. Love the staff and how accommodating they are. Always feel welcome. Portions are enough for two meals so if you haven't been get there! read more

My favorite restaurant in Alcoa! The service is wonderful, the food is great and the vibe is upbeat and happy. I love the Gyros, the plates are generous and the variety of choices means the whole family gets something they enjoy! My favorite is the Dala Roll, it's amazing and unforgettable. Try it, you'll not be disappointed! read more

We love this place! Food is always fresh and delicious. So happy Maryville/Alcoa has Yassin's falafel house. Every once in a while I get the cravings for the baba ganoush. read more

This is my go to lunch spot. I always get the chicken plate and it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and the service quick. Love the atmosphere and everything they are doing. Maryville's lucky to have this place. read more

We were actually going to eat next door and the sign caught our eyes. So we walked in and the menu looked really good! We ordered the falafel sandwich and the gyros sandwich with a side of fries. The portions are huge and thankfully because our lunch was $34. We could not eat it all so we took it to go after eating half. The fries are delicious and have a little spice on them. I would get an extra side of taziki sauce for dipping. The gyro was full of meat! The pita was warm and soft. The toppings were delicious! The falafel was fresh and crispy with lots of flavor. The service was face and friendly. The restaurant is order at the counter and then take a seat. The decor is colorful and clean. I would recommend this place! read more

So very happy to have Yassin's in Alcoa. We've been enjoying Yassin's in downtown Knoxville and in West Knox for several years. Now we have our very own. Absolutely the best gyros this side of Chicago. So very happy! read more

This place is awesome. My son and husband love their chicken shawarma! I've had the falafel which is great and I loved their Greek Salad. It was amazing! The best thing though is their baklava. It puts any other baklava I've ever had to shame!! And the customer service is amazing! They are so nice, helpful and generous! It's one of our new favorite places to go! read more

We love Yassins! It's always fresh and they have AMAZING vegetarian/vegan options. Staff is always nice. Food is made right there. Space is clean and laid back. Pictured is the plant based shawarma plate! read more

Yassin’s Falafel House - Plant Based Shawarma Plate - Falafel Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

Let me tell you i am so happy this place is near by, my first experience was the Knoxville location which of course was ok experience. I had originally the shawarma but with this go around I tried the gyro. The meat is so juicy rice was not dry at all and of course I figure let me add some feta and an extra pita next time I will add extra meat .it was an easy process of ordering and pretty quick just had to wait maybe not even 5 mins. All the tables were clean everything was organized. but yes in my eyes definitely give it. 5 stars :) give it a try if you are in the area read more

Great restaurant, super good food and staff was excellent. Wish we had a place like this where we live, would go often.

Staff are super friendly and service is good, restaurant is clean and has positive ambiance. They also prepare takeout in less than 10 minutes usually closer to 5 in my experience. Food is good as well especially their spicy versions. read more

We heard about Yassin's a few weeks ago and really like Mediterranean and Middle Eastern type food so gave it a try. We enjoyed the food and look forward to trying a few more options. Like many takeout type restaurants, the prices seem a bit on the high side. I used my card and not a fan of the machines asking for the 15, 20, 25% tip before you even get your food at a self serve type place. I left 20% because we decided to eat there and everyone behind the counter greeted but won't do that again. They brought he tray to our table--no other service. I realized when I sat down, that the ticket they gave me wasn't even a receipt but only named the items we ordered. read more

I have been waiting so long for them to open and I'm glad they're now here in Blount Co. Placed my to go order of the chicken plate. Lovely marinated chicken with seasoned rice, smoky baba ghanoush, one delightfully fresh falafel and pita. I always have extra pita at home because I know I'll want more and don't want to pay for extra. Yes, I'm frugal that way. Anyway, I also had extra white garlic sauce on the side. It's delicious as well. I could eat that on a flip flop (Guy Fieri would say) I was not disappointed about anything! Every component is so flavorful and fresh. I know the prices look steep but this one meal fed me three times. (including my own pita). I plan on making this my Friday night stop from now on. Well, now that I think of it, I'll have to bring my co-workers for lunch too since I've been harping on this for weeks. I need to prove my point. This place was hopping when I picked up my food so hopefully that's a good sign it's here to stay for a very long time. Thank you Yassin! read more

We love Yassin's! My husband who rarely leaves his Maryville bubble, but would to travel to west Knoxville for Yassin's. So happy to have them closer so we can enjoy more often. Have never had a menu item we didn't like. read more

Yassin’s Falafel House - Chicken Plate with white sauce - Falafel Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

The food was so so at best, maybe I ordered the wrong plate. Service was quick but again just so-so

Overall not our favorite and won't be back. It was edible. My chicken sandwich had maybe 3 fries in it. Was unaware they put pickles and peppers in it so I had to pick those out since it's not stated on the menu. I added lettuce tomato and onion. The spicy version has zero spice at all. read more

Yassin’s Falafel House - Chicken Sandwich - Falafel Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

We went back again to try just getting two sandwiches. Two gyros sandwiches One with extra meat Extra cup of tzatziki sauce 0ver 26.00 Meat on sandwiches was not even warmed through. We will not be back read more

Food was okay. Asking for tips before you get your service or food. Where is it that you should get tipped for doing nothing? Order your own food at buffet line, get your own drink, pick up your own food at end of buffet line. Hmm, and you want a tip? Get out and do some customer service. read more

I really cannot say enough good things about this small, local chain. Yassin himself is incredibly generous and community-minded. The restaurant's falafel is amongst the very best I've had outside the Middle East. It is healthy food in a casual, place-your-order-at-the-counter atmosphere. It really is a Blount County treasure, and very conveniently located. Travelers to Townsend and the Great Smoky Mountains should call ahead and get a giant take-out order for the cabin, camp, or picnic. read more

I went to grab dinner here because I have heard great things about this place. The environment is very accepting and welcome to all types of people witch is super nice to see. The staff was great and helpful. I enjoyed my sandwich very much I got the spicy chicken sandwich but next time will get the extra spicy because I did not taste much spice. Very excited to come back. read more

Yassin’s Falafel House - Spicy Chicken sandwich - Falafel Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

Consistently delicious and the kindest people! The service is reliable. Love the baba ganoush!

Food- Edible, but nothing I would care to try again. Service- N/A. They take your order, then you sit yourself until they shout out your order number so you can get it yourself. You even have to get your own drink. Afterwards, you have to clean off your own table. Ambiance- Very basic tables and chairs jammed closely together. Price- Four sandwiches, a small gyro plate, anda small children's plate of chicken pieces and fries, and 5 small drinks was over $90. I won't be visiting again. read more

The Falafel Sandwich is the only thing I ever get but it's delicious--get extra Tzatziki! Large portions for the price!

Can't go wrong with Yassins. All of his locations are fast and delicious. The best food hands down! Staff is always so nice and helpful. I love the lemon/cucumber water too! They always keep the bathrooms and restaurant clean. Keep up the good work! read more

I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. The best gyro I've ever had. The customer service is amazing. The workers are always so nice and ask how everything is. I have actually talked to the owner and he is incredible. 10/10 read more

They're really nice, consistent, and the food is amazing. Prices are fair too. I highly recommend it. They've gotten things on my order wrong a couple of times, it happens when you go to a place enough, but they are always easy to work with if there's an issue. They won't lose my business easily! Definitely go here. It's a local gem. read more

If your looking for something different and fresh this is the place. I'm not a Taziki eater so they have a alternate sauce for their gyro, it's a white garlic sauce---very good. read more

I'm a huge fan of Yassin's, I go at least once a week to any of the 3 locations and they're awesome! I always get the chicken plate and my it is spectacular. The only problem is at the Alcoa location the give a lot less rice than they do at the other two locations. At the cedar bluff and downtown locations it is almost double the amount of rice. Everything is delicious I just wish there was a little more rice with it at the Alcoa location. read more

I decided to try the new store in Maryville. I am a huge fan of the other two in Knoxville and I have never had a problem. What a disappointment!! The lobby was a nightmare. I ordered the chicken plate. Unfortunately there was a hair in my plate. The trash needed to be changed. The tables were filthy. I saw most of the employees on their phones. If I could give this store a zero I would. Yassin is a wonderful business owner but this store is going down hill from the looks of it. I will not be back to say the least. read more

Great food at a fair price. Especially liked the boba ganoush and hummus. Would go back

I have to agree with the other post about the amount of meat on the gyros. 12 bucks is a lot to pay for sandwich that leaves you hungry and 5 bucks for an order of fries come on man! read more

It has a been a little while since I visited this location. When they first opened the Gyros we're stuffed full of the meat and ingredients and I didn't mind paying the charge for good food. I went today and ordered the gyro and it came open plate over a layer of rice.they never did rice on them before. I noticed there was less meat because of the rice. I know restaurants are trying to be creative to save cost but this was not a good choice for this business. 15 dollars and some change for some meat over rice three pieces of onion that were small and a tomato slice. Another 5 dollars for some fries. I know food cost are up but to try and substitute some of the meat for rice didn't pass with me. I may go back and try something else but I was definitely disappointed in today meal. read more
