Yalla Yalla in City of London, Westminster

Honestly, Yella Yella just... hit the spot. You know when you walk into a place and you can just feel the good vibes ? That was Yella Yella. The food wasn't just good, it was like a warm hug for my tastebuds. And the people working there ? They genuinely seemed to care, which made the whole experience so much better. It wasn't just a meal, it was a little moment of happiness. I left feeling completely content and like I'd found a real gem. Thank you Yella² ! I will come back again soon.♡

Busy restaurant food really good enjoyed would recommend

Good food, atmosphere, friendly service. Vegetarian friendly.

Amazing food and great service! Rahim was a fantastic host, friendly and quick to help out. The food was amazing and would definitely recommend!

The food quality was good, not excelent. The quantities were not matching the price. The stuff had a very good attitude ( our waitress Victoria was the sweetest). However, the atmosphere felt slightly off. It used to be one of the best lebanese restaurants now it has become one more “Mediterranean food” franchise. The owners should really reconsider the concept and put some heart into it. I wouldnt say that i was unhappy with the experience, but I doubt i will ever come back.

Characteristic restaurant, excellent food and friendly, helpful staff.

Welcoming restaurant, well-prepared and tasty dishes, moderate prices and the joker, the extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable waiter Saleem.

Very lovely tasty food Salim was an excellent host very friendly

Amazing Lebanese food with such a beautiful atmosphere! Loved the decor and the seating as well as 10/10 customer service. We were fasting so they also offered us dates and have a separate iftar menu! Will definitely be returning.

My favourite restaurant ever. So delicious and the service never disappoints. Saleem was super attentive and caring and suggested the best dishes.

Good food and great service by Saleem!

I went for a pre theatre meal with friends, it was early and the restaurant at Winsley Street was fairly empty. Service was so inattentive. They just could be bothered. We got drinks and it took ages to get their attention to order food. Six member of staff behind the bar, Laughton, taking drinks to the chefs in the kitchen, nibbling. Eventually a chef saw was waving for attention and a lady came by to get the order, clearly upset with us for distracting her from her fun and she lacked manners. Just rude. Food was good, price was fair. But I wouldn’t be rushing back.

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Was absolutely amazing food and service we really enjoyed the experience

Not Lebanese! It seems that adding the word "Lebanese" to a restaurant is excellent for business. The food is delicious overall but definitely NOT Lebanese. It's a mix of Turkish, Moroccan, some Lebanese, and possibly a bunch of other cuisines. The dishes, the presentation, the flavors, the decor, the staff, and the atmosphere are not Lebanese at all. Some Lebanese music was playing though. The taouk platter was very dry and spices aren't Lebanese style. The kafta was very delicious and cooked well. The side salad that comes with both grill platters is definitely not Lebanese style. The rice that comes with them is also not a Lebanese thing. It should typically come with some hummus in the platter. The hummus was overly sour and I have a good feeling it is canned hummus and comes with a type of bread on the side that is not Lebanese. The service is alright (some staff members are friendly and engaging while others aren't cut out for the service industry).

Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Ms. Anna R. is very kind and helpful! :)

Really nice relaxing vibe, friendly staff and delicious food - I would recommend. Rahim provided excellent service, thank you!

I haven’t been to the restaurant yet, but wow—the food is incredible! Ordered for delivery and was absolutely blown away. Every bite transported me to my happy place. I’m already craving more. Fantastic job—thank you!

Went for a lunch catch up with a friend who suggested this restaurant as I was low carbing. Was expecting great food and atmosphere. Granted it was a Monday but it was lunchtime. I ordered the chicken taouk with mainly salad and a rose mint tea. My friend ordered the cauliflower and chickpea tagine and two glasses of Picpoul De Pinet, Réserve Mirou which was £14 a glass, needless to say he paid! My chicken was dry and the seasoning was not great, I asked for just salad on the side. The salad was shredded too finely and I could distinguish the different elements, overly seasoned and swimming in olive oil and lemon dressing. It felt like it had been sitting for a while and had been cooking in the liquid becoming limp. There was no texture, no tomatoes or cucumber just cabbage and onions, more of a relish than a salad. I can’t speak for my companion, he usually eats his fill and obviously liked his tagine. Would I visit again? No definitely not! There was no atmosphere, besides us, only another couple of tables with ladies lunching of differing ages.

Service was prompt and accommodating. It was my first time having Lebanese, and it was fresh and very tasty. The bread was amazing, and you could tell they used very good olive oil in their food. A great place to talk and not over stimulating.

I m celebrated my birthday here with my colleagues and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. The food was amazing! The staff were very very kind ,we were served by very friendly and attentive Rahim . Had a wonderful time ❤️

Don’t order Deliveroo from here - they literally sent me a wrap from comptoir libanais (branding still on it!)

Lovely experience... great for special occasions. The staff is so attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a great night.. shout out to Rahim the best server ever.. a great asset to this restaurant

This place was recommended, buy a friend, very pleased with the meal I had. Will definitely go back again, lots of vegetarian options available.

Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious food! Definitely recommend 😋

It is really DELICIOUS and it is very cultural, and the staff are funny.

Very nice place and very kind staff

Yalla Yalla is a fantastic spot for Lebanese food in London. The décor is stylish, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

Been going here for years - the food and atmosphere is lovely!

Very nice place. Friendly staff, especially Houssqm who took care of us and great food!! Truly a great experience

Was ok. Service was a bit hit and miss , but it was a Sunday. Food was expensive for Imo small portions in a large group, would be fine for 2-3 people

I've been a few times, and it is always a lovely experience with delicious food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

great staff, food, atmosphere-smiley faces plus welcoming energy🙏🏻

Loved the food!! Decoration was lovely and our waiter Houssam was so friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Excellent food and great service from Houssam.

Food was very delicious, and service was lovely. Moussan was super attentive and friendly. Highly recommend

Amazing experience: food, service, vibe. Everything was perfect! Houssam was very nice and gentle. Thanks

I loved the lamb grill. The hummus. The halloumi. All very good.

Walked in accidentally, felt in love immediately. Location is very good to have a not-fast food after shopping at Oxford street. Very tasty food, I ve eaten a lentil soup thousand times in my life but they amazed me. Highly recommend to try their home lemonade, mine personally favorite is Roomana.

Our first time try Lebanese food🤣we walked in the restaurant and ordered the mixed grill (the typical food in 🇱🇧although every dish was not very impressive

Very delicious food and great waiter Houssam!

Amazing food as usual, served very nicely by Houssam. Highly recommended!

Lovely environment, and lovely waiter Houssam

Nice ambience, expensive for the food quantity and taste

Lovely food lots of vegan and vegetarian options too.

Great good, portion size is slightly smaller than expected. Would be great if they can have a bigger portion of sauce as well as this is not proportional to the amount of meat within the platter Overall, great experience.

Always lovely food excellent service. Thank you.

Great service and food quality but PLEASE increase the portion sizes for the grilled plates, especially the rice portion!

Very good. Houssam was server and he was great. We’ll be back

Food wasn't cooked all the way through (minced chicken burger) resulting in stomach issues. Service was underwhelming and we didn't feel very welcome - moreso as if we were being tolerated. My experience is from a little while ago, hopefully things have changed since.

Good atmosphere and lovely decorations. Food was OK... not spicy at all. Sparkling Water over £6 including service. I do dislike it when service is charged without customer choice In this case 12 5%. This was my 4th visit to Yala Yala and I fear standards might be dropping a little. Service was a little slow as well. Nothing wrong with Yala Yala but no winning edge either

One of my favourite Lebanese restaurant in London. I’ve been coming to Yalla Yalla for years now and food is still fresh and very tasty. Exceptional food & service. Their Orange & Almond cake is heaven.

Llegamos temprano para la cena, a las 6. 30 pm. Éramos un grupo familiar de 8 y estábamos sentados en una mesa preciosa dentro de sus propias paredes, casi como un comedor privado. Decoración muy atractiva. El vino tinto libanés y el agua a precios razonables llegaron con prontitud, al igual que los platos compartidos. Siguieron los platos fuertes, pero desafortunadamente después de eso el servicio se vino abajo. Como el restaurante se llenó los dos camareros simplemente no pudieron hacer frente. Luego esperamos un tiempo a que los platos se limpiaran y hacer nuestros pedidos de postres. Esto tomó una eternidad y quitó el límite de nuestro disfrute de la noche. La comida estaba bien, aunque las alitas de pollo, a menudo gloriosas en la cocina libanesa, carecían de una piel crujiente, y eran suaves y grasosas. Sin embargo, el proyecto de ley es razonable.

Truly delicious food and goos service Great value for money Will definitely be back

Yalla yalla food is great. Love the atmosphere. Moussam's service was amazing.

love the vibe. I’ve been here so many times and keep coming back! Houssam is so attentive and lovely - will definitely continue coming

Very nice decor, excellent service and very tasty food. Great, broad selection of dishes.

I’ve have been at this restaurant so many times now, and is never a disappointment. Great food, great place and nice service!

Yalla Yalla is a fantastic spot! The food is delicious, and the service is top-notch. Houssam, our waiter, was lovely and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely, really loved the layout of the place. Food and service were both excellent. Was really impressed with the calorie and allergen info available on the website. Looking forward to my next visit!

Excellent meal. Our waiter Houssam was wonderful

The food and service were fantastic, Houssam was a great server, made sure I had everything I needed! I used to work for Comptoir Libanais, it can be tough. I appreciate your kindness!

Great food and excellent service from Houssam! Thank you :)

Sami was great! We had a lovely meal and the restaurant was warm and beautifully decorated, we will be coming again! Thank you

Sami our server was lovely! The atmosphere is so calming and the food came super quickly. :)

We were served by Hosam - he was excellent, very helpful courteous and gave us brilliant recommendation for food

Fantastic food at a great price! Service was excellent.

Some of the best food we’ve ever had. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented! Beautiful Middle Eastern atmosphere, friendly staff.

We were a party of 10 all vegetarians and we went for lunch to celebrate a birthday 05/01/25. The food was delicious, the service good and the atmosphere was peaceful! Would definitely go again!

Very good food. Professional staff. Enjoyed our dinner there.

recently dined at Yalla Yalla on Winslet Street, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Michael and his team were absolutely superb—welcoming, professional, and passionate about ensuring every guest had a great time. A special shoutout to Victoria, whose service was attentive and truly magical. She had such a warm and genuine way of making us feel at home, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, perfectly capturing the vibrant essence of Middle Eastern cuisine. The ambiance was cozy yet lively, making it a fantastic spot for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. I can’t recommend Yalla Yalla enough—Michael and his team are doing an exceptional job. I’ll definitely be back soon!

All the staff is really nice and food is delicious and well made :)

Beautiful atmosphere and aesthetic. The food was also really lovely!

Amazing! Sitting in the restaurant felt like entering a new world, hence the atmosphere was great. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fattoush, the couscous and the chicken & green olive tagine.

Food was excellent and Houssam was very nice and helpful. 10/10

Very good food with excellent service from Houssam!

Imagine paying £14 on Deliveroo to receive a box of food only a third full... Did you get hungry and eat my order?

Great quality food in very authentic setting. Makes every special occasion even more special.

Table was 45 mins late, poor service, came for my birthday and did not even greet me or give me a complimentary gift. Waited for food and drinks for ages! Food was lacking meat and kofte was a Shish kebab and not an actual kofte!

Food is always great at Yalla Yalla. Portion sizes are good. Staff are friendly and the interior is nice. We’ve come a few times. It’s definitely one of our repeat spots and I’ve recommended it to others who have also loved it.

A good selection of food. The restaurant has a Moroccan atmosphere, and the food is a Lebanese Moroccan fusion. Good and helpful staff.

Great food, so very tasty! A few highlights I loved: - Hommos was generous, the bread served with it was a perfect combination. - Chicken taouk with garlic dip was excellent. - Fries with garlic dip again were so good, crispy with some spices to give it even more flavour, though a bit salty overall Love it, will be back to try more things!

Generally good, but nothing spectacular.

Wonderful experience! Incredible food and very well served! Very attentive staff. ❤️

Very friendly, Excellent service from Evandro and his staff. Thank you!

Great atmosphere, great staff, wonderful food

This was an interesting experience from start to finish. We went for the Festive Feast which included Mezze to share for starters and then one large plate for mains. We chose this option as it appeared to be good value for money - we couldn’t have been more wrong. For 4 people we had half a small flat bread each, half a falafel each, two pickles each, and one small plate of hommos and baba ghanouj which amounted to not even a tablespoon of each dip per person. At the least we would have expected to have 1 flatbread and 1 falafel per person - the portions were extremely slim pickings. As for the mains, two people received their mains along with the mezze starter, and those of us who ordered salmon had to wait for another fifteen/twenty minutes. Those who had the lamb & tahina tarator, it arrived timely but cold. The mains tasted okay but were extremely simple and again definitely not worth the money. As for the service, I understand it is the festive season and busy, but there was no organisation at all. Service was slow with everyone’s meals arriving cold and at random times. When it came to the bill there was a lot of confusion and I had to get a calculator out and do the maths for them. I had already had the £40 deposit taken from my account and was communicating that the bill should be the total amount less the deposit, and they thought I had said we had already paid for the whole meal. We managed to sort it out in the end but it wasn’t the easiest of transactions. I would never dine and dash, regardless of quality, but in this case I was extremely tempted!

Amazing lunch, so friendly and really helpful as my wife is gluten free. A perfect meal. Thanks so much

Waiter was Houssam and so accommodating! would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy a moroccan vibe in london. 10/10

Lovely food! Evandro and the staff are amazing👍🏼

It was my first visit, and Houssam was a pleasure. He gave great recommendations from the menu and was very smiley. He had to serve a Christmas party at the same time but made us feel very taken care of. Also, the decor was lovely within the restaurant and the food was delicious. I’ll be coming back!

Haram Habib! Apart from the most insulting attempt at a ‘fatoush salad’, this isn’t Lebanese food… service was moody & forgetful. Yalla Yalla indeed, let’s pay more and fly to Beirut habibi (or go to Em Sherif).

Ana the assistant manager was so lovely and the service was excellent. A great, service, with a great smile.

Popular venue. Food is verybtast and staff are friendly

Really enjoyed our lunch - perfect cosy atmosphere and Houssam was an excellent host

Nice place the lady that served us was excellent the starters were very nice the wine was good unfortunately the mix grill was very dry and not good

If you like cold mixed meat grills with no flavour and a waiter trying to kind kind offering to heat it up! Then go here. Couldn’t even get a servette., joke.

Good food, we had a very good time on Sunday lunch in the not crowded place and we stayed until tea time. Nice staff.

Myself and a friend were catching up and we decided to grab some food and ended up here. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. The staff were so friendly and kind from the second we walked in. It was my first time here and I will definitely visit again to try all the different options on the menu. A special thank you to the Ana’s and Mihai for such a delightful night, with great food and excellent service. Cheers,

The restaurant is very nice, but the food is average
