Yaffa Grill & Market — Restaurant in Miamisburg

When in Dayton we like to pick local restaurants and ethnic foods we can't get at home. We decided to give this place a try. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they didn't quite have everything on the menu available which caused a quick turnaround of deciding what to order (which is hard with kids). Otherwise I would give a 5. The staff was very friendly. The food was amazing. My husband got the mixed grill: the grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the rest of the meats were also delicious. Even the rice had the perfect amount of flavor! The hummus has a surprisngly big kick of mixed with the red pepper, but mixed or not it was the best hummus I've ever had. I got the vegetarian sampler. My 1.5 year old and I devoured the grape leaves. The falafel was also good but may be a bit bland compared to others I've tried. However the tahini salad dipping sauce made everything spectacular. I also got the baba ganoush which was new for me, but may have just become one of my favorite foods. If you want to support local and try something new, I highly recommend you give this...

When it comes to Mediterranean restaurants, I have high standards, and I have to say that I am usually disappointed when I eat at Mediterranean restaurants because the food doesn't taste authentically Mediterranean enough for my preferences. So, when I tell you that this place is the place to go for Mediterranean food, you can be 100% confident that you are going to have a great experience here. I have driven over 25 miles at times to see if I could find a Mediterranean restaurant even just almost as good as this one, and I didn't have any luck, so I reiterate that this is unquestionably the place to go if you are ever in the Dayton, OH area and in the mood for Mediterranean food. I highly recommend the chicken shish kabob sandwich (among many other great dishes this place serves) with cheese inside. It tastes just like a Mediterranean chicken quesadilla and will probably taste better than any chicken quesadilla you have ever eaten. And on top of the great food, it's always a pleasure to interact with James, Ibrahim, and the rest of the staff.

So, do check this place out. I highly...

Every time I’ve been in, the food has been consistently good and fresh and the people have been consistently friendly. Tonight the employee that took my food order asked if I like spicy—I responded “yes” and he gave me some spicy sauce for my food. It tasted really good! I feel like their middle eastern food has an added “comfort” element to it that I haven’t experienced from other ME restaurants. I have tried their bakery goods and they are equally amazing. Their pita bread comes in different flavors and are so good you could eat them just plain. I really want to look up some middle eastern recipes and get the ingredients here from the store—which on also has a great selection.

The people here have always been very friendly—can’t express this enough. Please be polite to them. They deserve business and they deserve...
