Delicious lebanese food! Staff was very friendly and professional, the atmosphere is lovely, good music and it's quiet enough to still enjoy conversation. Generous portion sizes, very flavorful drinks and some of the most delicious and crispy falafel I had the pleasure of tasting in London. Reasonably priced as well.

Thanks We were served by the Nepalese guy ( didn't take name). He was very good and took good pics too. The place. Food .all was good . Only minus were the portions of tagine and the way it was served. We were expecting a traditional tagine with couscous and chicken on top in the dish whereas it came like gravy in a bowl and rice separate. Rest all was good. Yummy yummy cheesecake and Rose tea.

Lovely place, great service and lovely atmosphere. We had the iftar set menu and my friends and I were impressed with the four mini starters we were each given: lentilsoup, hot flat bread, hummus, salad and cheese parcels. The flatbread was amazing and we filled up before the mains. I got the mamma Zohra chicken salad which was fresh and delicious. The dessert was a bit like a zesty creme caramel and gave me a nostalgia trip. The spaces are a bit tight, so if you're a big person you might find it a squeeze but we're tiny so all was good.

Was recommend Yalla Yalla by a colleague at work who had visited twice before and said the food was very good. I have tried Lebanese cuisine already but was open to trying a new place. We decided on a joint birthday dinner to celebrate. We came on Fri 14-03-25 and were promptly seen to our seats, the restaurant wasn't packed as there was space but still a few others. There is so much to choose from in both the Starters and Main Menu, it was hard to decide. My friends and I decided to share a portion of Falafel and Tony's Hummous. The Falafel was one of thee best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside and soft/moist on the inside - cooked to perfection. What's your secret? Tony's Hummous was nice and creamy with the olive oil and a bit of crunchy Cauliflower, I would have liked a bit more. I decided to try the Spiced Lamb Flatbread, very tasty, melted in the mouth. Delicious. Mains we had Lamb Kofta Grill, Cauliflower and Chickpea Tagine and Aubergine Tagine. The Lamb Kofta was delicious, very tender and spiced nicely. I would have liked a tad bit more rice but that is trivial. The meal was very tasty. The girls enjoyed their vegetarian options. As it was my birthday I decided to treat myself to the Shambania Bellini Non Alcoholic cocktail which was very nice, sweet but not sickly. Like a nice fruity tropical punch. I also had the Leymona - Lemon and Lime Lemonade which was very refreshing. The girls had the Roomana, i tried a bit and it was okay but I like my citrus flavours. Then lastly with desserts, I decided to go all out and had the Baklawa Selection and Portion of Ice-cream - One of each flavour, Chocolate, Vanilla and Pistachio. The baklawa was nice but a bit hard, it would have been nice if it was freshly made but it still tasted good. The ice-cream was very good. The girls enjoyed their desserts, they had the Mango Cheesecake and Orange Blossom Mouhalabia. Overall good portions, very good taste, great service and lovely ambience. A very nice evening out. Our waitress/staff were attentive and polite. Prices very reasonable. Would definitely recommend visiting here. Easy to find, Winsley St is just after Sports Direct on Oxford St, opposite Marks and Spencers, just a few yards down.

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.♡

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.

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.

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).

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.

Just like it's little sibling across the road, this is a gem of a restaurant which can offer up exceptional cooking. My only niggle, and it's a big one, is that the staff will upsell the amount of fish and/or meat you order. 1.2kg Turbot is way too much for two people, as is 1.5kg of steak.
