" A delightful journey into Lebanese flavors! Dining at Villa Yara was a treat from start to finish. The restaurant features a stunning design that both comforts and impresses. Each dish felt crafted with care, especially the falafel, which were crispy and bursting with flavor. I had concerns about portion sizes, but I found the servings generous. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking authentic and delicious Lebanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing discovery! Villa Yara had everything I was hoping for: authentic Lebanese flavors, a cozy atmosphere, and attentive service. The mixed grill plate was a highlight, offering an array of meats cooked to perfection, each with its unique seasoning. I appreciated the staff's attention to detail, making sure we enjoyed every part of our visit. Although I found some dishes a tad overpriced, the quality of food definitely made up for it. A great spot I will revisit for more culinary delights! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Villa Yara for brunch, and the experience was amazing! The outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day, and the decor added a beautiful, relaxed vibe. Each dish was delicious, particularly the fattet batinjan, which was wonderfully presented. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to an already wonderful experience. The only downside was the dessert, as it felt a bit rushed and not as appealing compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic brunch, and I'll be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Villa Yara has a lively ambiance and delicious Lebanese food. My friends and I went there for lunch and shared a variety of mezze. The tabbouleh was fresh, and the flavors of the hummus were pronounced. I appreciated the prompt service, although it got a little chaotic during peak hours. The decor is beautifully arranged and creates a charming vibe. I would definitely recommend this spot, though I may call ahead to reserve next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable evening at Villa Yara! The moment I entered, I was charmed by the beautiful decor and aromas wafting from the kitchen. The service was swift, and our waiter recommended fantastic dishes. We started with the muhammara, which was spicy and smoky—absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, while my main dish of kebabs was tasty, it was slightly overcooked. Regardless, the dining experience as a whole was wonderful. I’d recommend giving this place a shot; I will definitely visit again to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Villa Yara from multiple friends, I finally decided to visit during my lunch break. The cozy ambience immediately drew me in; it felt both chic and relaxed. I ordered a share platter and was amazed by the varied flavors. The kibbeh was perfectly spiced and the labneh refreshing. However, the wait for food was longer than expected, possibly due to the lunch rush. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, and I look forward to trying more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! Villa Yara is a lovely spot for authentic Lebanese food. Everything from the appetizers to the main course was marvelous. The service was also quick and friendly, making for a pleasant visit. I particularly liked the lamb chops, which were tender and well-seasoned. However, I was a bit let down by their dessert option; I expected something more exciting. That said, I’d still recommend this place and will return in the future to try different dishes.
