" YAFO Kitchen offers a refined taste of Mediterranean that satisfied my cravings. The chicken shawarma had the right blend of spices and tenderness, while the fresh side salad complemented the dish perfectly. Despite the food being good, I found the ambiance a bit noisy during peak hours. The service was alright yet appeared hurried, which is understandable given the time. Overall, it’s a place that I would recommend for excellent food, even if it came with some minor quirks. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited YAFO Kitchen for the first time last week, and it was such a pleasure! The food felt authentic and wholesome, nothing felt processed. I enjoyed their grilled lamb with tahini sauce—it was a gem of a dish. The restaurant remains busy, but the staff kept everything organized and efficient. I am a fan of the outdoor seating that provides a comfy space to enjoy meals too. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try more items from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited YAFO Kitchen based on a friend's suggestion and I am glad I did! The place has a cozy ambiance, and I felt welcomed right from the start. Their vegetarian options are commendable, and I particularly loved the falafel bowl I ordered. Deliciously crispy and packed with flavor! Although service was a tad slow at peak hours, it was compensated by the tastiness of the food. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Mediterranean fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent lunch experience at YAFO left me filled with gratitude for the quality of food offered. The freshness of the vegetables in my grain bowl was evident, and it's clear they use good ingredients. I also appreciated their effort in maintaining a clean environment. While the staff was friendly, they were clearly busy, so the service took longer than expected. In the end, the food's taste outweighed the wait time. I’m happy to recommend YAFO Kitchen to others looking for delicious Mediterranean dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally checked out YAFO Kitchen based on all the buzz, and I was not disappointed! They have a great variety of Mediterranean dishes, and I love how you can customize your meals. I couldn't resist trying their famous falafel; it was crispy and flavorful. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a fun lunch out. Service was quick as well, even with a busy crowd. Definitely a place I'd come back to with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather mixed experience at YAFO. While the food was undoubtedly flavorful and fresh, the service left a bit to be desired. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during lunch rush, which might explain the long wait. However, once I received my meal, the flavors made up for it. I tried the pita tacos, and they were quite tasty, albeit a little heavier than I expected. Overall, I would visit again, hoping for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my first visit to YAFO Kitchen, I was really impressed! The restaurant had a great menu filled with Mediterranean delights, and I found the service to be quite attentive. I tried their Israeli hot chicken sandwich and it was nothing short of amazing! The flavors were bold and satisfying. The only downside was the price point seemed high for lunch, but the quality of the food justifies it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
