Whenever I am craving some good Mediterranean food, Yafo is my first choice. It is on the pricier side, but the food makes it worth it. Their falafel is always so warm and has just the right amount of crunch to it. I always get their BYOB and add greens with rice and all the toppings I can choose from cucumber tomatoes salad, chickpea salad chicken, and falafel. It's always a favorite, and it gets me full all the time. Everyone from the staff is super friendly and very efficient. They get that line moving. It's a small, cozy location. They have outdoor seating as well. It's definitely a good lunch spot, even if you're on the go.
Delightful cafeteria style restaurant. The food seemed fresh and was absolutely delicious. There was so very much to choose from, and the staff was so patient and helpful. I had an avocado chicken salad dish that had a hint of yellow curry and a sauce that capped it off beautifully. Definitely a must visit. I know we will be back.
Fast service. Delicious food. My kids like the creamy Mac and cheese with shawarma. My oldest likes the build your own bowl and all the healthy options that you can decide from. At one point we were coming here weekly during dance practice. I could feed one kid within the hour the other was at dance practice and then I would switch kids and feed the other one. Everyone who works there is smiling and helping each other.
Love yafo kitchen.
Anyday would pick yafo over cava for sure
This time i tried israeli chicken with cauliflower tahini on side.
Loved it
Oh boy it was spicy spicy!
Worth a try.
I found this gem a few months back when I first moved to Charlotte and have been a loyal customer since. My favorite menu item is the 'create your own bowl' option which usually ends up lasting me for two meals because of their large portions. They have a large selection of fresh toppings, sides, and proteins, and everything tastes so good and authentic all at a great price (~$15/bowl with chicken, falafel, and cauliflower give or take) - life hack: use the pita bread they give you to make a falafel and cauliflower sandwich with their garlic sauce. SO GOOD!
The service is also great! The employees are super friendly and patient. They also offer a rewards program that they don't really advertise at all, so make sure to ask when you go in so you can start earning some points!
The one thing I wish was they offered was nutritional information! Regardless, as long as this place is around, I'll be there. Go check it out for yourself!
Really great quality food with fast service and cool environment. It’s slightly more expensive than usual chain style food (each portion come out to about 19-22$) but the ingredients they use seems like a high quality and tastes great. The portions are so big that we had to take “to go” tray and save some for later. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area
I had to place an office delivery order last minute and their manager, Adrian, blew me away with her customer service and helpfulness. Brian at the Central location was incredible as well. I will be referring them to anyone I know in the area. So rare to find such helpful people today. Thank you again!
Was craving mediterranean food and I stumbled upon a jackpot. I love Mediterranean food but I don't eat it that often and this is the first place that I found in Charlotte that tasted really amazing. I really love the idea of the create your own bowl. I ordered a bowl with half jasmine rice and romaine for a base , hummus , Tzatziki , Cucumber tomato salad and even more Cucumber , sumac onions, seasoned beets, mediterranean pickles, feta cheese, and the most amazing Shawarma chicken!
I honestly could have just ordered the bowl itself because it's a-lot of food .
I ordered brussels sprouts on the side , so good and greek yogurt mac and cheese which i was apprehensive about ordering but it's very creamy , cheesy and good .
I was hoping the pita bread would be warm, but it was still soft and good .
Definitely a 5 star meal
for me I can't wait to eat more
We are vegiterian so mostly we make our own bowl, and we mostly prefer falafal,purple cabbage and sausage.
Nice test..feel good
The music sucks pretty bad. And it’s too loud to get away from.
The rotisserie chicken was good as was the yogurt mac & cheese shells, and the falafel is amazing. The toppings on my wife’s bowl were about half dead by the time we got here right around 1230.
