Yala Kabab Restaurant — Restaurant in Westminster

This was a great gem to find in westminster! My husband and I were on a business trip and enjoyed the food and hospitality so much we returned the next day and brought a friend. We absolutely LOVED the falafel, kibbeh, and humus the most. We also really enjoyed the chicken kebab and beef shawarma. My favorite meat was a chicken they made special for the dinner buffet. I was so disappointed to learn it wasn't a menu item that could be ordered 😕. I also liked the Barbosa dessert it as s coconut flavor without being over powering and the lentil soup was also AMAZING so creamy and smooth. Definitely top tier lentil soup he swears its just blended lentils but there must be some magical ingredients or process because that lentil soup was SOOO SMOOTH.

Ahmed the owner was really nice and so was the Mexican lady working for him. I don't remember her name, but we were thankful she spoke Spanish as when we came in the forst time, the only two people there were her and another guy who only spoke Russian. Neither had good English but luckily my husband spoke enough Spanish and we pointed at the menu items and were able to order. Ahmed speaks fairly good English and so did the lady who was their the next day.

This food was so yummy we would come back even if no one spoke english or spanish. We will definitely be back again. It's been a while since I've had really good falafel, so that was a super pleasant surpise.

The venue is small, only about 6 or so tables that seat about 4 each. They do have a high chair if needed but no changing table in the bathroom. I wouldn't call this easily wheelchair accessible as the threshold is a bit high, and the space between tables is a bit limited. It would be challenging to maneuver through if all the tables are full.

I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for yummy Mediterranean food and are not afraid of language...

Like this place. It would be great if they could use higher quality beef though. Really hard to find a middle eastern restaurant willing to use high end beef. Seems like most middle eastern restaurants use the cheaper beef to control price or seem to view as all beef being the same. Also the Lamb could be softer to where it pretty much falls apart soft with it being less heavy on seasoning. A few times lamb meat was not so soft and was too heavily marinated with spices. Would give it 5 stars if they could improve on these few things. Humus was good. Salad been a hit or a miss due to lemon quality. I have yet to see a middle eastern restaurant using Prime Beef or Wagyu grade beef at their restaurants. Since they changed chefs food quality and taste went downhill. If your standards are average or low this place is ok but if you are a foodie expecting fine ingredients and a perfectionist when it comes to cooking this place won’t tick the boxes. There are two kinds of people who eat in this world. 1) Eat to live and...

Walked up and asked if they were open, at the time they were changing out the chairs... I think. I think the owner and partner greeted me, not sure since I didn't ask. He was friendly and answered my questions. As I was waiting for the order I was offered their cinnamon tea, which was very yummy. As he was packaging my order he hooked me up with 2 desserts, which was very yummy. Took my food and headed home. Food was wrap and made to be spill proof. I got the lamb m word dish and the tabboulah salad large(which isn't so large) everything was piping hot I was told to pour the sauce onto the dish and man it was yummy the lamb was soft and you could cut it with a spoon... the rice was delicious as it soaked up the sauce... all in all everything was delicious!! I will definitely be coming back to try the beef shawarma plate, one of the other customers said it was the best... over all I'd recommend it... oh one thing is that the...
