Review Yalla - Atlanta

J.M. Wallnofer

Had a great experience eating lunch at Yalla. The staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations for the meal. We got an Olive plate (which included pickles, capers, and cauliflower pickled as well), a falafel plate, falafel pita, and a chicken schwarma pita. The only slight critique I would give was the chicken schwarma pita was a bit heavy on the pickles inside, so keep that in mind if someone in your family doesn’t like them. The falafel’s were fried fresh in front of us. They were served in very nice containers. The only thing I gave a four star was the atmosphere. You have to pay to park (4.00 for one hour) and then there was no seating available on a weekday at 12:30 so that was a bummer. Everything else was awesome. Keep on, Yalla!

Good food but I wish the consistency was better. For example I’ve ordered the lamb bowl four times. One wasn’t great. Two times were amazing. And today it was meh. Hard to frequent when you never know if you will get meh or amazing.

This place was AMAZING! I got “The Shouk” bowl and it was so good. The girl working there was so nice and friendly, and my food was done really quickly. The flavors all went together really well, and they were knowledgeable about gluten free options. Word to the wise: the harissa hot sauce is EXTREMELY SPICY! I’d recommend getting it on the side so you can customize the amount you want. $16, and enough food where I definitely got very full before finishing it. Cheers!

The chicken shawarma was quite flavorful, spicy, and saucy (hummus, babaghanoush, and both white and harissa sauces). A carbohydrate (pita bread or rice) would have complemented what was a quite protein-packed meal. Krog Street Market was a cozy and relatively intimate place to dine at.

I really enjoyed the food here and really had a hard time deciding what I was going to eat. There were so many wonderful dishes on their menu and all reasonable priced. There was a few items on the menu that I was unsure of and wished that the staff would have been a little more helpful with making suggestions as they saw me stand and stare at their menu for 5 minutes (Okay. So I exaggerated a little). But for real.... I did have to Google a few items. Anyhoo... the food was delicious. The eggplant was everything. I love how it was prepared and how it was integrated with the other ingredients to make a dish. I order the Sabich, which cost $8. I ordered it with the pita bread but I do wish I had ordered the laffa being that they give three options of how the dish can be served: Pita, laffa, and as a bowl. Unfortunately I was very indecisive and could not figure out what I wanted to eat and felt as if I was holding the line up so I decided to go with what I knew. Great tasting food. Definitely will be back.

I have been eating at Yalla for several years. The Krog street market location continues to serve high quality sandwiches without breaking the bank. Many middle eastern restaurants in the atlanta area are charging close to $15 for a pita sandwich if not more! Yalla is providing an unbeatable product at a price point that is much easier to swallow. My personal favorite is the Shouk, which comes filled with meat and fries, and it can be had in a pita for $10. It is almost enough food to feed two people. This is one of my favorite restaurants at KSM and should not be missed.

Got a Laffa (wrap) from this Middle Eastern food stall in Krog Street Market. Parking is limited, lucky to find a spot along a street nearby.

We got their Falafel and Shouka bowls, both very delicious and very similar to middle eastern flavors! 👌

Not a bad thing on their menu, lots of food so come hungry, then walk your dinner off as you walk around Krog St. shops. My faves are the laffa wraps; Lamb Kabob or The Shouk.

Yalla is one of those unique places that puts their twist on traditional food and actually does it well. Their laffas are one of my favorite things to order, and their ingredients are always so fresh, you can taste the difference. Definitely one place I always try to hit up every time I’m in Atlanta! And it doesn’t break the bank.

Pretty good. It's a little pricey but they give you decent portions and the food is very fresh. Also, there is free parking within walking distance if you take the time to look.

i dont think i could describe how good Yalla actually is, The guy who served us was friendly and helpful, The Chicken Schwarma was outstanding, the chicken was spiced perfectly, it felt like i was sitting at a Schwarma stand in Jerusalem, thats how authentic this tasted. Cant say enough good things about Yalla, I will 100% be going back soon.

I recommend going and grabbing meal. I'm not sure if the food is supposed to be warm or not. It wasn't so I wrapped it up and saved it for later. I took my meal home and put it in the toaster oven. The flavors are really fantastic when the food is heated.

Best falafel wrap I have ever had! Full of flavor with excellent toppings. Staff are always super friendly. Great place all around.
