Yalla Middle Eastern Cuisine 11400 West Lincoln Highway, Mokena, IL 60448

"Just tried this place for the first time and everything had so much flavor! We really enjoyed our bowls and the staff was extremely friendly and personable. Would highly recommend."

"The food was delicious! My spouse and I got the chicken shawarma wrap and fries and the chicken shawarma bowl. The veggies were so fresh and crisp! The chicken was juicy and fresh! The fries were crispy and the perfect texture! And to top it all off, the staff were friendly, helpful and so generous! They gave us HUGE portion sizes. We could eat the left overs for days, I kid you not. We will definitely be back. You should go support this local restaurant ASAP!"

"I was searching for authentic Koshairy for a very long time until I found it here. The Koshairy was amazing and authentic and Mahmoud was amazing to talk to. I would love to go back again even though its a 40 minutes drive from my place."

"I have been going to Yalla for several months now, and I am convinced it has the best and freshest food in the SW area. I have had food catered, eaten there and ordered take out. Everything is great, but perhaps the highlights for me are the spicy green hummus, red pepper hummus, chickpeas and lentils, traditional steak wraps and the Jerusalem salad. Both rice options are extremely flavorful. I don’t find the spicy rice too spicy like their spicy sauces. The habanero sauce is unlike any other hot sauce I have ever had. I always look forward to making up a reason or errand to drive twenty minutes to go to Yalla."

"Came here with my wife for a nice lunch/dinner out after work. Ample parking made it easy to get in and out, though to be honest I didn't want to leave. I asked the gentleman at the counter for some recommendations, and he didn't disappoint! My wife and I each had the Chicken Shawarma, mine spicy and hers not spicy. We chose the bowls so we could customize our order. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The spicy bowl had a mild kick, which I enjoyed. We split a bowl of the Lentil soup, which was hot and creamy. I enjoyed the aroma when I popped off the lid, and it had flavor to match. Eager to try a little bit of everything, we also split an order of the Baba Ghanouj, which was different but delicious. And of course, we couldn't possibly consider our order complete without Falafel. Probably some of the best I've tried. Overall, a very wonderful experience. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, the food was amazing, and most importantly, my wife was happy. I will definitely recommend to friends and family."
