Yalla Yalla

Don't let the price-less menu on the website fool you into thinking this is one of those places where if you need to know the prices, you can't afford it. This Beirut street food cafe is in fact highly affordable.

The slow and cheerless service was offset by the fantastic mezze, which included an astoundingly generous portion of tiger prawns, calamari and whitebait on a bed of deep fried aubergine.

Always one to judge a middle eastern restaurant by its hummus (or hamos, hommos, hommus, homos, houmous, hummos, hummous, or humus, depending on where you hail from), this place passed the test.

It was only a shame they were all out of marinated grilled lamb skewers as the little bit of lamb we had as part of the mixed grill was tender and flavoursome.

The bill for a hearty quantity of food and a bottle of beer each came to £15 per person. I'll be going back.

I loved Yalla Yalla, the food and service was excellent and all for a really reasonable price. If you go you must try the sauteed chicken livers, the semelina dessert with rose water ice cream is amazing! Can't wait to go back and have the dessert again!

Yalla Yalla was a fantastic find in an alley off Brewer Street in Soho. The menu is Beirut street food and it was some of the best Lebanese food we have eaten. Both the mains of Shish Taouk (marinated chicken skewers) and Kafta Meshoue (minced lamb and parsley skewers) were full of flavour, perfectly cooked and well presented with a sumac onion salad and vermicelli rice. They were also brilliant value for money.
The restaurant is small but the atmosphere on our visit was perfect. It was helped along by the friendly service and a great selection of music at just the right level.
On thing you definitely need to do is to book in advance. There is only seating for a couple of dozen people and this place has already become very popular. A steady stream of people without reservations was being turned away during our visit.

was at Yalla Yalla on Thursday dinner, the place was full, and we did not have a reservation but we were the lucky ones and the waitress told us to wait around 10-15 min and we will get a table, and thats exactly what have happened… the food is amazing, so fresh and tasty, friendly and helpful waitress too.
the place is small (only 9 tables) so its better to book for future…
but is worth the waiting time,

going back again for my birthday party:))

the big advantage is that they do sell shisha during day which is great, because no other place does it in Soho!!!

The best new restaurant in London, since long time,,,, very good value for money.
