" I enjoy eating at YAFO but sometimes the prices feel a little high for what you get. However, their bulgur and fresh vegetable salads are some of my favorites. I appreciate their commitment to fresh and local ingredients. Overall, a great spot for healthy eating. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful spot! I visited for lunch with friends and tried the build-your-own bowl. The ingredients tasted fresh and were generously portioned. I appreciated the cleanliness and friendly service from the staff. My only critique would be that it was quite busy during lunchtime, which is a testament to its popularity but can lead to a bit of a wait. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected more from YAFO after reading all the glowing reviews. The food was decent, but it didn't quite meet my expectations regarding authenticity. The service was quick, but I felt like the staff wasn't as engaged as one would hope. I did enjoy the vibrant décor of the restaurant, which created a nice ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had a pleasant meal at YAFO, I was expecting a bit more. The service was decent, but my order was mixed up, and I received the wrong protein. The food was still tasty, but it did affect my experience. I’ll give it another shot, but I hope they pay closer attention next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" YAFO Kitchen has some of the best Mediterranean food I've had! It’s truly a gem. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, perfect for a quick meal. I ordered the chicken bowl, and the flavors were incredible! I’ll certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh, healthy option. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is great but the portion sizes can vary. My last visit, I felt a bit short-changed in terms of quantity. The quality, however, is top-notch, and the flavors are spot-on! I enjoyed their baba ganoush and stuffed grape leaves immensely. I’d still recommend it, but just be mindful of portion sizes when you order. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! The first time I tried YAFO, I was blown away by the freshness of everything. I went for their signature hummus as a dip with my pita, and it was heavenly! The spicy chicken bowl I ordered was packed with flavors and spices that made every bite enjoyable. Service was great, and I loved the relaxed ambiance. It's not the cheapest meal, but the quality makes it worth it. Can't wait to be back! " (*Curated Review*)
