“ Yafo Kitchen can be a bit pricey, but the food is always fresh and delicious. I enjoy creating my own bowl with shawarma chicken as my protein, and the pickled onions are my favorite topping. ”

“ OMG! Ordered a build your own bowl, on DoorDash and it was bursting with flavor! I went with the greens and grains base opting for the cumin jasmine rice and spinach & kale mix. My toppings included cucumber & tomato salad, purple cabbage slaw, Sumac onion, chickpea and roasted red pepper salad, Tunisian hummus and Shawarma chicken as my protein. As a sauce girlie I had to have the tzatziki, Lebanese garlic sauce and the Harrissa yogurt. All the flavors meshed together perfectly! I now have a new fav Mediterranean spot and will be adding Yafo to my weekly lunch line up. ”

“ Oh my gosh, this place is absolutely amazing! It's perfect for feeding a family or group. We discovered Yafo during a layover and had it delivered to our hotel. It was so good, we actually brought some home with us--yes, through TSA! The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was incredibly flavorful and fresh. We couldn't even wait to take picture-perfect photos because we started eating as soon as it arrived. If you're looking for delicious, satisfying food, Yafo is a must-try! ”

“ I recently tried the cauliflower and omg DELISH !!!!!!!!!! Luuuv the mac & cheese. The Tzatki is delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

“ This place was shockingly good. Never really had Mediterranean style fast food but if this place was close to my house it would be in the rotation. Haha We tried the avocado bowl and steak kabobs, freaking delicious. Anyway there's a lot of choices and the sides are great too. ”

“ Clean quick service place like cava. Served fast and very friendly staff. The ingredients you can tell are fresh and seasoned like Mediterranean food and not bland. Tacos were delicious with it on pita and tender chicken with sauces. The bowls also had more options with Brussels and other veggies for a bowl which I will get next time. ”

“ I love that Yafo is located right downstairs from my apartment--talk about convenience! But what really makes this place stand out is the amazing customer service. Every time I walk in, I feel so welcome. The team is incredibly patient and kind, always taking the time to ensure you have a great experience. Whether I'm grabbing a quick meal or taking my time to enjoy the atmosphere, the staff never disappoints. If you're looking for delicious food paired with top-notch service, Yafo is definitely the spot to check out! ”

“ I've had my hopes set high from the great things I've heard and seen about this place, and I was still impressed by the quality of their food and service. Since this was my first time, I had a lot of questions about the process of ordering my food. The workers were extremely friendly, helpful, and patient in answering those questions. The concept is similar to Cava, and they serve Mediterranean fare with Middle-Eastern flavors. I built a bowl, which comes with a choice of spread(s) and 8 cold toppings, but I only got 7 toppings; I wasn't too upset though because of how packed my bowl was already. Everything was so delicious, and my stomach was very satisfied by the end of my meal! ”

“ I really enjoy YAFO Kitchen's illustrious heritage and their middle eastern cuisine. I wanted to sample everything on the menu except the meats, so I opted for the Build Your Own (BYO) Bowl option. Kalamata olives, chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tzatziki, Tunisian hummus, quinoa salad with lemon and cranberries, and cauliflower rice were my cold selections. Macaroni and cheese, potatoes with garlic and oregano, and falafel were my hot selections. I paired it with granch, which is Greek yogurt, and Greek vinaigrette, which is a lemon herb dressing. There was a delightful, new flavor to every bite. According to my kid, the Brussels sprouts were just right. The costs were fair, and the extras didn't break the bank. The parking is terrifying, but the lines for orders are usually short. The meal and service were both excellent. In future visits to Charlotte, FAYO will be my first choice. ”

“ Amazing fast-casual Middle Eastern street food. One of my new favorite casual spots in Charlotte . It's just good ! Everything I tried was fresh and packed with flavor . I really love the fact it's fast food on the go but it's sooooo delicious . I don't know how they manage to be quick and efficient and still offer a quality food product . Just gooooo. The grilled steak kabobs are amazing !! As is the chicken shawarma bowl . Dont skip the sauces !! I tried five sauces and they were all amazing !! My mouth is watering just thinking about it ! I can't wait to go back . Highly recommend! ”
