Stopped in while doing a two week food tour of California coast and was stunned. I will be dreaming about the Mishmish... chicken- the flavor is out of this world. Definitely worth the drive, and I am jealous of the locals who get to enjoy thisdelicious food and atmosphere daily. Read more

I highly recommend their seafood pasta. Seafood were perfectly cooked mixed in creamy tomato sauce. Hummus is on the spot and... halibut were well seasoned. Beef and lamb kebab is a little bit dry. Food: Good Ambiance: Good Service: Good Read more

We came to dine at Yafa on a Sunday evening and we did not like it at all. 1. The appetizer came with artichoke which was like... rubber and inedible, we told the waiter about it and we did not even get an apology for that. The appetizer plate costed $24 andit did not worth the money. 2. our main dish came almost one hour after the appetizer, it was getting late and we were planningto leave. When I told the waiter we are about to leave since it is getting late. He brought the food but it was not cooked well.We asked for well-done meat but it was not well-done. 3. We got two small pieces of Baklava by the owner for the one hourdelay. first it was one piece cut by half, second it was so dry like it is for week old. 4. We asked for room temperature butthe drinks were around 90 F. It seems they keep the dink under the stove. 5. The food was over priced and the quality was low.We order one appetizer and one entree and that added up to $70 + tips. This is so much for one low quality meal and with poorservice Please look for other restaurants in the area since you won't have a good dinning experience here. Read more

I was very excited to come here as I am a big fan of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. I really loved the ambiance of the... restaurant. The owner was very friendly and the service was excellent. However, the food was not so great. We ordered thehomemade hummus which was completely bland, at least for people have general knowledge in Middle Eastern cooking. The chickenkebab was way overcooked, dry, and missing any flavor. The rest of the food we ordered was mediocre, although the complementarybaklava was very tasty. This place definitely has potential as long as they improve the quality of their dishes. Read more
