YAFO Kitchen

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"
