Yala Shawarma

Just left from there and the food smelled so good that I couldn’t wait to try it so I tried it while driving in the car and omg let me tell you this food is amazing. There service is great as well. Everyone was so nice and the food came quick and tasted super fresh! I’ll be coming back here a lot now from here on out!!

Tried this place on my way home. Food is so good I’ve been back twice in the same week. Service is outstanding and friendly. Beef shawarma is excellent. Beef sheesh kabob is excellent. Dawali is a little more oily than I like but after a few dabs with a paper towel it’s excellent

Literally the best shawerma I have ever tried in Cleveland. Gave me flashbacks of the shawerma I used to eat in Amman. The portion size was perfect, The flavor the bread the fries even the pickles were amazing! The only thing that needs improvement is the garlic sauce and It wasn’t even bad but it was very light and the strawberry chocolate cup was a little bit overwhelming (way too much chocolate and it was a little bit grainy). But i wouldn’t give you guys anything below 5 stars. Will never ever order shawerma again from any other place but Yalla Shawarma.

Amazing experience. The food was amazing, I even ordered extra to go! On top of that, a very clean restaurant, vibes were great and the customer service was unmatched. Ali is the man! Will stop by Everytime I visit Cleveland from now and on!

My wife and I traveled all the way from Solon to try Yalla Shawarma. Worth every second of the drive. Food was incredible. Portions were huge. Ingredients fresh as can be and the service absolutely amazing. Owner and her daughter are just charming. Begged them to please open a shop on the East side! We will be back soon!

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! Although it's more for takeaway, we dined in at one of the small tables they have. The staff was friendly and welcoming the entire time we were there! The food was fresh and delicious! They have the shawarma machines so it tastes very authentic. The Habibi fries, zinger wrap, and shawarma was very tasty!

Food was fresh, warm and delightful! You can see they take pride in their food and their space. The staff were very welcoming and appreciative. Will return soon!

The food and Owners r fantastic..me and my wife ate there for the first time and got their falafel, beef shawarma and chicken towook with extra garlic.. owner gave us free hummus to try and it was good.. definitely a place to try!

Stopped in today to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, it was an all around wonderful experience. I’m very big on customer service and the woman (owner I do believe) was so kind and went above and beyond to give me a good experience. Not to mention the food was wonderful. Absolutely will be back! 10/10 recommend

Came here for the first time and it was awesome. Prices were affordable and the staff were excellent. The store was so busy and we still got our food in a reasonable time. Amazing, everyone should try it.

The owners make you feel so welcome and so appreciated for being there. Their warm hospitality and kindness means so much, you can tell they genuinely care about people. Their food is absolutely amazing and so fresh. LOVED the grape leaves. Will definitely be back.

I am skeptical on some Mid Eastern foods because they are sometimes made with much more seasoning than I can handle. Last night we ordered from Yalla and I couldn't be happier. I had the Chicken Swarma and it was amazing. The chicken was so moist and tender, the rice also moist and very flavorful. The 'salad' was crisp, fresh and again delicious. I could have made a meal out of any one of those dishes. And very plentiful. I opted to get the Baba Ganouj and found myself going back for more, even though I was completely full from eating just half of my meal. I will definitely be ordering from there more often. Sooo much better than the standard burger and fries delivery.

I went there with my Sister's for Lunch the other day! The food was excellent and the owner was there taking care of us making us feel like family ❤️

We had an amazing experience at **Yalla Shawarma** in Olmsted Falls! I went with my wife and our two kids, and everything from start to finish was absolutely excellent. We ordered both the **beef and chicken shawarma**, along with their famous **Habibi fries**—and every bite was full of flavor. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, and the fries were a perfect side with just the right amount of spice and crisp. What really stood out, though, was the **warm hospitality**. The staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable, like we were guests in their home. It’s clear they care deeply about both their food and their customers. Highly recommend Yalla Shawarma to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food with a side of genuine kindness. We’ll definitely be back!

Super good - all our Middle Eastern favorites. We got the hummus, baba, tabouli, falafel wrap, beef shawarma, habibi fries and chick kabob. Everything exceeded expectations and we look forward to getting it again! So thrilled to have this healthy gem in Olmsted Falls! P.S. - empty tin of habibi fries in photo is evidence of how good they were!

The staff is very friendly and pleasant to speak with, and the restaurant itself is very clean. The food is an experience for your mouth. Amazing flavors. Have only had the shawarma wraps so far, and I’ve had the chicken and beef. Both were phenomenal, the beef is very rich. Both have great depth in flavors. I really like the green garlic aoli sauce to dip your wrap in too.

Stopped by here for a late dinner and all the food was delicious and made fresh!! Great service and the cashier, Ali, was very helpful explaining everything on the menu for me and giving me recommendations based on what I said I like! I will definitely be back again!

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. They are more of a fast casual to-go restaurant, but I really hope they open up a full dine in setting in the future. Cant wait to come back!

Yesterday was my first time going to Yalla Shawarma, and as soon as I stepped in it was a very friendly environment. When I couldn’t decide what to get, the cashier Ali helped me decide. The chicken shawarma was very juicy and tender, and the hot sauce was amazing with the whole meal. Would recommend this place to anyone that wants shawarma, and I will definitely return!

We had a wonderful experience at Yalla Shawarma! The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating from start to finish. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter, beef shawarma platter, a falafel sandwich, and an order of falafel—and they even generously added a hummus plate to our order, which was such a nice touch. We stopped in while driving on Route 80 during a road trip, and it was conveniently off the highway—close enough that it didn’t require minimal rerouting, which made it a perfect stop. The space itself is very cute with thoughtful decor. It’s not a huge place, but we were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids and were able to sit comfortably. They also brought out a high chair for our son, which we really appreciated. The food was delicious—especially the beef shawarma, which was outstanding. We would definitely recommend Yalla Shawarma!

We’re had not only the best food, but best experience at Yalla Schwarma. The lovely woman who is one of the owners was so sweet and welcoming. The garlic sauce and all the sauces actually are delicious. We tried the chicken schwarma, the habibi fries, baba ghannouj, tabouli, hummus, and the falafel was so crunchy but soft inside and dipped in garlic was my favorite! Don’t skip on the food or the lovely staff. She set the bar high on this cuisine and we will definitely be back!

The best shawarma I've had. The presentation and portions are wonderful. Lots of flavor and sauces were great as well. Will definitely be back. Way better than Aladdins.

I have had their delicious food multiple times now with nothing but praise for the taste and their customer service. Things happen sometimes and last night I ordered takeout stopping on my way home from work. I took my food and didn’t realize until I got home that the order was wrong and I was missing a few items. Here is where I stress again, things happen. I was hungry and was upset for a quick minute and then took a breath and realized it was on me too for not checking the order before leaving. Also, instead of immediately leaving an angry review, I wanted to go back and give them a chance. Well they certainly delivered! Of course they let me keep what I did get (ate it for lunch today), cooked me the correct meal, and gave me a free piece of delish dessert. While waiting for the food I had a nice conversation with some of the staff and they all were nice and sincerely apologetic. That, right there, is how things should be handled by both parties. I really appreciate them taking care of me and once again, they earned my respect and repeat business. See you all soon! Thank you for being part of the Olmsted small business family!

i usually never leave reviews but this place was incredible, 10/10. beef and chicken are both cooked to perfection, falafel is perfectly crispy, and the sauces are great. the service is excellent too, they really go above and beyond (shoutout to ryan and sami). highly recommend

AMAZING service! Reham was sooo sweet, friendly, and kind to my son and I when we came in. Because of her wonderful service, we will absolutely be back soon! She also made the Habibi fries and they were delicious!

WOW! This is my second time having a meal from Yalla Shawarma in the Shaker plaza and I can't believe how incredible their food is. I had the chicken shawarma plate. The staff are always wonderful, personable and friendly. It's definitely one of my favorite new places. I highly recommend this place.

Yalla Shawarma absolutely hits the spot. Their falafel is delicious — crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside — and the prices are honestly some of the best you’ll find anywhere. You can walk out full without feeling like you just paid fine-dining prices for a wrap. The whole place has that perfect combo of fast, friendly, and fresh. Everything tastes like it was made right then, not pulled from a bin. Portions? Generous. Quality? On point. And if you’re into shawarma, hummus, or anything dipped in tahini, this is the place to go. Super affordable, super tasty. Highly recommend.

Very nice owners as a first timer the woman treated me to some samples of there corn soup, falafel a lentil soup excellent service excellent food

I recently had the pleasure of trying the chicken and beef shawarma with fries, Habibi style, for the first time, and I was absolutely blown away! The shawarma was incredibly flavorful, and the fries complemented it perfectly. What made it even better was the array of sauces that came with the dish – each one had its own unique taste, making it so much fun to dip and savor. The dessert was also a treat, and the overall experience was made even better by the exceptional service. From the warm welcome to the attentive service while taking our order, the staff made sure we felt taken care of every step of the way. It’s rare to find such a high level of hospitality. I can’t wait to go back and try the mixed grill next time. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and an unforgettable dining experience!

I recently ordered catering from Yalla Shawarma for a gathering, and it was a fantastic experience! The beef shawarma platter was a hit—cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The variety of sides, like hummus and tabbouleh, complemented the meal beautifully and added a wonderful touch to the spread. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was ready on time and just right. If you’re looking for the best shawarma catering in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, I highly recommend Yalla Shawarma. You won’t be disappointed!

Yalla Shawarma in North Olmsted serves flavorful Middle Eastern dishes in a clean, modern setting. The chicken shawarma is juicy and well-seasoned, pairing perfectly with their creamy garlic sauce. Habibi Fries are a must-try—crispy, loaded, and delicious. Hummus and lentil soup also shine. While service is often friendly, some reviews note inconsistent quality, especially with beef dishes. Overall, a great spot for fresh, satisfying shawarma—stick to the chicken for the best experience.

We drove 40 minutes just to try this shawarma – and it was absolutely worth it! 🥙 The chicken shawarma was amazing: hearty, full of meat, and very, very tasty. The owner was so kind and welcoming, and even gave us a little present – a tiramisu cake. 💖 Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

This restaurant is amazing. The staff was so nice and the food was flavorful and filling. Great price and perfect menu. Very fast service as well. You should definitely check it out! I got the falafel wrap and veggie kafta. Both were amazing!

I can’t talk enough about this place,owners are soooo nice and super super clean place ! The food is so good especially the shawarma wraps and the cherry mint bomb is really a bomb 🤣🤣! I recommend this place 100%

The vibes inside is amazing. The food is amazing! We used to go to the same shawarma place for over 10 years, but then my husband found this place and it is our new favorite shawarma place! You are treated so kindly when you order! 100/10 would recommend!

Delicious food - falafel were fried fresh, not in a warming plate. Was greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly and welcoming. Also impressed by how modern and attractive the interior was. I’m not a local but I wish I was so I could go more often!

Our food was delicious! It was made fresh, the price for the food and the amount you got was perfect. The falafel is huge and delicious. Our wraps were delicious. We definitely will be coming back! Plus, the place was very clean!

Yalla Shawarma was incredible to work with to cater an event for 30 people. They worked with me on the order and gave great suggestions, provided heaping portions, and graciously adjusted when we had a last minute change of the date. I did pick up, and ordered a tray of falafel & rice, a fattoush salad, beef shawarma and chicken shawarma platters, as well as a plate of hummus and it fed everyone (and then some). All of the sauces were big hits as well. I suggest shooting them an email if you are interested in catered options!

Amazing place, the owner is extremely sweet. Do not miss out on this place for fantasic food and generous service. The sauces are amazing. The quality is great. Try the falafel that's homemade, qnd honestly I think everything was. The care shows. Also fantastic desserts. The dubai chocolate cheesecake was amazing.

This shawarma spot is a must-visit! The meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and had that ideal crisp from the spit. Every bite was packed with flavor, especially when paired with their creamy, authentic garlic sauce. It was truly delicious—easily some of the best shawarma I’ve had lately.

Prince Ali fabulous he! Was very nice to a first timers. We thought all the food was very good. A few of the sauces were a miss but most were very good! Fair portions and ali was very generous with the extras for my first time at yallaaaaa. We will be back. Thanks again

Diana Korol

We've been coming here constantly since it opened.😊 The shawarma is delicious and flavorful, the meat is tender, and the sauce is just right! The fries are always fresh and crispy. Everything is prepared quickly, and the staff is friendly. Delicious! 👍 There's no photo because we remember the photo only after we've eaten everything 😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the best shawarma from Yalla Shawarma at the Cleveland Halal Food Fest! The food was amazing — flavorful, juicy, and fresh. The two guys working there, one with green eyes and glasses and the other wearing a keffiyeh, were super welcoming and funny. I bought three shawarmas at first, came back for two more, and they even gave me one for free! Great food, great people — I’ll definitely be back!
