    A great new food experience for those who have not enjoyed Yalla previously. If you don’t care for beets or say cauliflower, they way they prepare these veggies is like nothing you’ve had before. Try all those things you never have before & you’ll see why this restaurant has such a great reputation.

    The service was phenomenal. I cannot rave enough about the tandoori salmon and the chicken Tikka masala. The ice cream trio of cardamom, mango, and chocolate was incredible also. Thank you for a wonderful evening
