" I was curious about the hype surrounding Yaba’s so I finally made a trip. Honestly, I was pleased with the experience. The service was friendly, and they served up a generous portion of the chicken shawarma. However, the meat could have benefitted from a bit more seasoning, especially compared to what I had previously tasted at other Middle Eastern places in the city. While not perfect, it's definitely worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yaba's was a splendid surprise for my family! We came across it while searching for a local eatery and were welcomed warmly. The atmosphere is cohesive with the joy of enjoying authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. We loved the chicken shawarma; it was seasoned wonderfully with a side of appetizing rice and pita. I am thrilled to have a new family-friendly spot in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but not exceptional. The portions were good but I would have loved more seasoning in my dishes. The kitchen area was very clean, and the owner was polite, making for pleasant service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a visit to Yaba's after a long day, and what a treat it was! The staff greeted me with a warm smile, and the vibe in this little place reflects the love they put into their cooking. I had the hummus, falafel, and some dates for dessert. Everything tasted fresh and was hearty enough to fill me up for hours! What a delightful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall! The food was delicious and quite filling. I ordered the beef kofta and was delighted by the seasoning. The restaurant's size might seem small given it's inside a convenience store, but it has a unique charm. The owner was very friendly and helpful when it came to making choices. I definitely recommend giving them a chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a Saturday afternoon, I decided to stop by after reading reviews online, and I’m glad I did! The atmosphere is low-key and inviting. I had their chicken shawarma; it was tasty, filling, and left me satisfied. You can tell the food is made with love and care. " (*Curated Review*)
