These are challenging times for restaurants and they bend over backwards to serve their customers. My wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel and called Yafa to order a delightful Middle Eastern dinner for two to take out and eat in our room....The owner could not have been more gracious and giving. The food was excellent. I hope that as regulations continue to open up that Yafa will be able to continue to serve customers wonderful food and service. Recommended!More

we hoped to have a romantic eating date near the beach, enjoy the beautiful natural rocks on the Coast line (monterrey). we called in a TO GO ORDER at faya. due to covid they only offer to go orders so i assume they have packed...Many to go orders for customers. we got settled on a nice area and found out THERE WAS NO DISPOSABLE FORKS/SPOONS/KNIVES, NO NAPKINS, NO WIPES. forget about knives, WHERE ARE THE FORKS!?!??! i ended up having nasty sticky saucy pasta fingers. way to go for a first impression on your date! embarrasing! to the chef(s): great pasta! 👍 the moraccon chicken was somewhat way too heavily sweetened to my liking but otherwise that would have been very delicious too, and the ingredients used for the moroccan chicken was great!😋More

We visited at Peter church. We take a city sightseeing with it’s nice water front and historical places representing different history dates. Small shops and seafood restaurants are attractive. It s realatively war tel avev.

Went here with my wife for my birthday. Absolutely loved everything about this place. The place is cozy, the food was unbelievably good but the best part was the owner Dia. He made us feel special right from the start and even sat with us,...toasted my birthday and shared some stories near the end of the meal. Can’t wait to go back!More

I was charged by both Grubhub and Yafa, the restaurant, when I picked up my food. I called Grubhub and spoke to their customer service when I returned home from vacation. They explained to me that the restaurant would need to issue the refund because...Grubhub pays them through their partnership agreement. I called Yafa multiple times over the course of the following month, explaining to various employees that we were charged twice and I needed to be refunded. Each time they said that the owner would have to go into their system and approve the refund. On October 9th, after calling repeatedly the Employees at the restaurant gave me Ben, the owner’s phone number to deal with him directly. That same day I texted and called the owner explaining what happened and that I needed a refund. On October 10th, the owner responded via text by saying he would send a confirmation of the refund. He explained that he would have to go through the bank and said “I will send it ASAP.” On October 23rd, I texted the owner again saying there was still no refund, apologetic Ben explained that the credit card processor told him that it was handled. He further explained that the credit card company was going to have to be the one to handle the refund due to the fact that their computer system is not allowed to save CC numbers after a certain amount of time. Ben gave me the credit card company’s phone number and told me they would need my credit card number to issue the refund. I tried calling his contact at the CC company to issue a refund multiple times and left several messages. I finally spoke to Frank (the owner’s contact at the credit card company) for the first time and he explained that it was Grubhub who needed to issue a refund and I had expressed that this was not the case. Frank told me he would have to call the owner to confirm this. The second time I spoke to frank he explained that he needed authorization from the owner to complete the refund transaction and he would call back as soon as he could get into touch with him. Frank and the credit card company did not call back. The third time I spoke to Frank he explained that he needed proof of both charges one from YAFA and the other from Grubhub to verify there was a double charge. I emailed him screenshots of both charges to my credit card. This was the last time I have spoken to Frank. I have left several messages to him and was told by other employees at this credit card processing company that they would have Frank call be back with no response. After this excessive amount of back and forth I texted the owner one final time explaining that there was still no refund and there was no choice but to leave negative reviews and report him to the BBB.More

Yafa is a great option for Mediterranean food. We had the Yafa salad with beets and arugula as well as a ground beef/lamb kebab plate that was very satisfying. The food was prepared in a way that was very tasting and also visually appealing; all...items on the entree were very flavorful. The salad was very nice also, although we would have liked maybe one or two more beets in order for it to be truly satisfying. Overall, I think the food is great, the service is friendly and courteous, and the atmosphere is very nice also.More

Over the holidays we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Yafa. The place was absolutely packed and yet our service was attentive and swift. The meal was delicious and healthy.
