    Wonderful meal, we followed our servers suggestions as it was our first time at Yalla. She steered us well! Hummus with burnt ends was a delight, fennel salad lemony, cedar planked salmon was outstanding (and I am not too fond of fish), and the tamari fried Brussels sprouts a perfect complement to the fish. In celebration of a milestone birthday the cheesecake was a dense and tasty dessert. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

    Food was excellent. Service a bit parapatetic, but OK. Tables small--makes dining a bit uncomfortable. Corkage fee exorbitant and a reason not to return.

    I am obsessed with the food here! I have to say the Brûléed Squash and Burrata was soooo tasty!! The crispy chicken confit’ also was amazing, it was so tender. It just fell right off the bone. The skin was perfectly crisp. We were celebrating our 13th anniversary and they brought us a couple of complementary glasses of bubbly with some Italian wedding cookies. Grazie Mille!! Will definitely be back

    One of the best places for high-quality fresh fish in Portland! Love the ambiance and low-key atmosphere, it's great for couples or large groups. Their staff is the best! Super knowledgeable, funny, lovely people.
