This is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. The food is delicious and prepared to perfection! Service is great as well. All around amazing

Wow what a perfect gem of a restaurant!!! Incredible food, especially the hummus. I love this place so much, it's a wonderful choice for a date night or impressing out of town guests.

Visiting Portland for the holiday and Yalla was recommended to my boyfriend. We came for brunch and ordered the khachipuri and pastrami bagel. highly recommend both dishes!! The khachipuri was savory and salty, with a soft egg in the middle. And the pastrami bagel was delectable. Both dishes were excellently prepared. Service was also wonderful. Staff was attentive and friendly.

Came here for Sunday brunch and had excellent food and service. There is plenty of indoor tables and a nice bar area. Great spot for drinks and shareable plates. The cucumber soda was bright and refreshing, pairing nicely with the bold and rich food. The Pastrami Hash was delicious. The meat was flavorful, and we enjoyed the potatoes and peppers. We also tried the Kchachapuri, which was the perfect mix of crunchy bread and creamy cheese. These dishes were rich and heavy, so i would definitely suggest ordering a salad or lighter dish to better balance the meal. For sweets, the chestnut donuts which were a big hit. Our server was super polite and also brought out a complementary cheesecake for my parent's anniversary. Super decadent and tasty!! Overall, we had a great experience at Yalla. I will definitely be back to try other menu items.

A haiku review: Yalla is the best Been here a handful of times Each meal was amaze Addicting hummus The falafel so crispy Corn bread is dessert!

This place deserves 10/10 for all the effort they went to for me and my allergies. I was diagnosed with a super complicated allergy this year which has made it impossible for me to eat out anymore. This sort of is a non option when I'm traveling and a place like this was worth the risk. The waiter listened to the details of my allergy very carefully and thoughtfully then marked up a menu with the chefs for me with the safest options and ingredient substitution possibilities for me. They took me so seriously and made me feel safe asking for what I needed. This place is also gorgeous. The back patio was such a vibe on a summer evening. The food is DIVINE. It's a great place for groups who might have mixed eating restrictions and they obviously understand the importance of freshness. Every dish we had clearly had a lot of thought in it and the execution was superb. All the textures were spot on. My favorite dish was the corn! So yum. Loved the wine I had too. All their wines are sourced from really unique and special places. Definitely worth getting a glass. The owner should be proud of the staff they have and the menu they have created.

Delicious food! The Cedar Plank Salmon was our favorite - it was cooked perfectly. Our second favorite was Labneh with Roasted Grapes. Don't skip out on dessert - the burnt basque cheesecake was delicious. There's outdoor seating that is outfitted with heated lamps (for cold days). When we ate out for dinner there were a few gnats flying around.

Every dish was a 10 out of 10. Excellent humus and pita with an earthy, hearth oven cooked flavor with the perfect blend of a chewy yet soft texture. The cornbread with honey was almost desert like decadent. The cedar plank salmon was perfectly cooked and topped with lightly spicy salsa. The fire roasted peaches was an excellent accompaniment to this late summer dinner. Well worth the price. Service-wise, efficient and very friendly. Best of all, while we were dinning an unusual summer downpour left us stranded without a coat or umbrella with our car a ten minute walk away, but our server let me borrow her personal umbrella to retrieve our car saving me from a soaking. Obviously this was above and beyond thoughtful. Thank you so much! We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.
