" Upon entering Yaffa Cafe, I was charmed by the decor and ambiance. However, the overall experience was mixed. I ordered the Adana Kebabs, which tasted great but the portion was smaller than expected compared to other places I've been. The service had its ups and downs, as I noticed the staff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I might consider revisiting, but there are areas that need improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yaffa Cafe used to be my go-to spot for Turkish food. The last time I went, the quality of the food seemed to dip a bit. The lahmacun was decent but lacked the robust flavor I remembered. Service was okay, but I felt rushed by the staff. It wasn’t exactly what I hoped for, but I might give it another shot because the ambiance is still lovely! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been frequenting Yaffa Cafe for years. The quality has been consistent, and the food remains comforting and delicious. My favorite is the lentil soup—it’s simply perfect. The staff is polite, and even when busy, they make an effort to check on us. A must-visit for Turkish food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yaffa Cafe is indeed a charming place for Turkish food, but I left feeling slightly disappointed this last time. Although my kunefe was delicious, my friend's kebabs were overcooked. The service was friendly, but we struggled to get the server’s attention during our meal. I hope they can improve on this, as I really want to enjoy a perfect meal next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is phenomenal! I had the best kunefe I've ever tasted at Yaffa Cafe. The perfect balance of sweetness and cheese paired with a great selection of Turkish teas made my visit delightful. The staff was attentive, and I felt very welcomed. If you love Turkish desserts, this is the place to be! I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for breakfast at Yaffa Cafe and it was fantastic! The selection was extensive, and everything we ordered was fresh and filling. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish breakfast platter. The service was prompt and the staff were lovely. If you're after a breakfast spot that serves authentic Turkish cuisine, you must check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am usually looking forward to my visits to Yaffa Cafe, but during my last experience, I noticed the quality of service dropped. Our server seemed preoccupied and it took too long to get our drinks. The food was still wonderful, but I think they need to focus more on customer service. Quality food deserves quality service!
