Yalla Market / Mediterranean Restaurant / Bakery / Pastries — Restaurant in Dania Beach

I recently visited a fantastic Lebanese restaurant, and I have to say, the food was absolutely incredible—authentic and full of flavor. I was honestly surprised by how consistently authentic the food was, no matter what we ordered. The team there really works well together to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Samantha and Amanda were amazing hosts, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in, and Hind was a wonderful server, attentive and friendly.

However, one team member really stood out: Karim. This guy is a true hard worker, and you can tell he's passionate about delivering top-notch service. He definitely has a bright future in the hospitality industry. There was also one more person on the team who was super helpful, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. I definitely want to give her recognition, as she was a key part of making the experience even better!

Keep in mind, they've only been open for a short time, so be patient with wait times. I’d recommend ordering all your food at once to help streamline things. That said, the food was a solid 10/10—definitely the highlight of the experience. If you're craving authentic Lebanese cuisine, do yourself a favor and...

I had an extremely unpleasant experience at this establishment. One of the staff members — a tall, heavyset man with a long beard — was loud, rude, and completely unprofessional. I was on an important work call, speaking Spanish, and this nasty man got visibly upset just because I wasn’t speaking English at that moment. For the record, I do speak English — but his attitude shifted the moment he heard me speaking Spanish, and from then on, he treated me with clear disrespect and hostility.

The restaurant itself looked dirty and poorly maintained. Everything inside looked old and like it had been sitting there for years — definitely not a clean or welcoming environment.

The food was another major disappointment — poorly prepared and lacking even basic hygiene standards. I absolutely do not recommend this place, especially when there are so many excellent American and Latino-owned restaurants nearby where customers are treated with dignity and food is prepared with care.

Happy life, happy wife. My wife is always on the lookout for a good Mediterranean restaurant. This time she found a Libanese one. Yalla is pristine, everything is brand new, clean and clear. But we are here for the food. I was welcomed with a sample taste: Potato with a dipping and then their freshly made hummus. Amazing. My lady ordered rice and lentils with caramelized onions and spices (her favorite) and kibbeh (she loves them). I was torn on getting a Baklava for me but I'm trying to cut some weight. They told me it's their recipe but it is made somewhere else. Next time... It was mouth watering... Anyways, it is in Dania Beach with easy access and plenty of parking if you want to dine or take out. 20 bucks for our order. Not the cheapest, but definitely a tasty meal. We ordered online but you can also order by phone.

Congratulations, keep it consistent...
