    Yafa Grill is Mediterranean style cuisine. The food is very fresh. They have beef, lamb, and chicken options. Various salads, platters, and wraps. The Hummus is delicious, they put chick peas on top! They have French fries and they are crispy. So good. They also have Walnut and Pistachio Baklava. It was perfect 👌 I will definitely be back for lunch. Great customer service and Yafa Grill did a great job suggesting things that we try. Keep up the good work.

    DELICIOUS! This is a real hidden gem! While in Jacksonville we were craving middle eastern food and this was the closest place to our hotel so we decided to give it a try and OMG! Im so glad we did. We almost walked away when we first walked in. The place does need a little TLC inside 🤷‍♀️ But we decided to order since we were already there. When we got the food, it was just like advertised on pictures! I ordered the lamb chops and my husband the Kafka 😋 and EVERYTHING was so tasty, nice portion! The meat was juicy, hummus was sooo good, yummy colorful pickles and the rice was delicious! I totally appreciate when a business fulfils my expectations and Yaffa did! That's why I'm taking the time to leave this review with a 5-start rating! Thank you for such a great meal. Definitely I will come back 💕

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience here at Yafa! If you get a chance, make sure you stop in!!! From the moment we walked, we were treated like family. And the Quran playing on the TV was a welcome addition to a delicious meal. We ordered the Beef Shawarma dinner, as well as the 12-piece falafel on the side. We had asked for the salad on the side as well, as my wife has a food allergy to iceberg lettuce, which they happily obliged (even though it's not the norm). We were pleasantly surprised to find out they use romaine in their salad. Everything we had was beyond delicious! As others have said, I would HIGHLY recommend the falafel. I honestly think you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything was super fresh & tasty! The potatoes are a must-have. Probably one of the best meals I've had, & the serving size will leave you satisfied 😌. We already can't wait to go back & try more!

    I tried Yafa grill for the first time today. I had their Chicken Shawarma platter. It was delicious. The chicken and rice were flavorful. The potatoes were perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh and the dressing delicious. And the pita was warm and soft. I ordered through drive thru. Service was very friendly and fast. The food was very fresh and hot. I will definitely be back to try some more of their food. I recommend this place if you’re craving some good Mediterranean food.

    Wow! They offer a lot of food on each selection. Everything was delicious. We all got a different plate and did some taste testing. It was my first time and not sure what the name of everything was...but it tasted amazing. I would have given 5 stars for atmosphere, except the facilities bathroom needs some help.

    I decided to try Yafa Grill today and it is by far the BEST Mediterranean food you can get..The food was delicious and hot. I got the #36 Beef Shawarma Wrap Meal and the Yafa salad. Absolutely SUPERB! No complaints and you will definitely enjoy the atmosphere of this lovely restaurant! Give it a try, I guarantee you will return. Thank you Yafa Grill for a delicious meal!

    I went here for lunch and got their beef shawarma lunch platter. Everything on the plate was simply delicious. The plate was a bit pricey for lunch, but the meal was quite filling. The beef was deliciously flavorful, moist, and had a nice sear to it. The other side items were a nice touch and complimented the main dish well. I would like to come back and try their other menu items in the future.

    We wanted a spot for dinner that had veg options and meat. We found a hidden gem. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door, super-friendly. The food.... The best. We had HUGE portions that were even bigger in flavor and quality. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. You need to eat her. It is a great little spot, you will not be disappointed.

    Had a chicken shwarma platter and falafel (not pictured). Food was AMAZING! Fresh and delicious, service was top notch. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Huge portions, plus pita bread as a starter.

    Probably the best thing i have eaten this year! The Shawarma is suuuuuper crispy. I've never had better Shawarma in my life. Also great Vegetarian options including soup.

  • 1/5 Joshua D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been coming to this place for some time and have always been pleased with the food until today. I went to get a beef shawarma wrap and as I was finishing up my wrap I found a plastic clip in it that you use to close a bag of bread with. This is disappointing and won’t think about coming back going forward as I don’t know what I will find in my food next. For the 20 minutes they took to prepare the food in the drive-thru, you would think they would have taken the time to ensure the food was safe to eat. I had to pull the plastic clip out of my mouth.

    Best lamb chops and dish sides very Mediterranean. Lamb shank is my fave. This place is underrated. Most people in Jacksonville don't know real food because they never been here.

  • 5/5 Sarah F. 8 months ago on Google
    Been coming here for awhile and they never disappoint. Food is so good I can’t remember what I ate but I cleaned my plate 😂 I’m so confused with the 1 ⭐️ reviews. Unless it’s a concern for health reasons, I don’t believe the 1 stars are warranted, just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ Btw, don’t forget to grab the pistachio baklava.

  • 5/5 Tanya G. 1 year ago on Google

    Outstanding service, friendly staff & delicious food!!! Nothing left to say but go here if you enjoy Mediterranean food!

    I have eaten here many times before and had the mixed salad. It's always been really good!! On this visit, I got chicken shawarma wrap and kibbeh. While the chicken was good and moist, it lacked flavor (along with the rest of the wrap). It just seemed like some chicken that was cooked with salt and pepper. There didn't appear to be any sauce in the wrap at all. The kibbeh came with a dip. I think it was just plain mayonnaise. It would be nice if it was some type of herb dip. Also the beef inside was pretty flavorless. The fountain soda was out of carbonation, so it was flat.

    Good place for shawerma’s, they are delicious! however they hardly pick up their phones. if you walk in, it’s hard to get anyone’s attention. I wish the owner was more proactive and would attend the people walking in. Usually high school students behind the counter making stuff and their salad station is not covered and look stale.

    Really good food, the people working there were kind and obviously take pride in what they make. everything on my plate was delicious. Really recommend the chicken kabab dinner with a coke and some of their pistachio baklava for desert
