I go to Victoria often for business and always eat at the usual spots. Today a cab driver recommended this place.I usually never write reviews, but for this place I had to. What an amazing experience! It’s a family owned business and you feel like you’re at someone’s home. They are friendly and welcoming. Food is outstanding, fresh, great quality, and portions are just right.I will get back again and again!

Absurdly tasty. The lamb schwarma wrap is a cacophony of many elements all individually seasoned and all making a taste symphony. Friendly service and a lovely, if understated, vibe.

It was my first time in an Iranian restaurant in Victoria. I ordered Baqali polo with Mahiche, it was so delicious. And also the employees were so nice and kind. Good atmosphere. Recommend.

Yalla is a step above the rest!! The hot sauce they put on the lamb was excellent, the food was super fresh and it was a fair price. Service was great. 10/10 would return here again. They also recently started offering a bean meat stew which was super tasty

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Middle Eastern/Persian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the hospitality. The maquli bowl, which I ordered, was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The portion size was generous and left me feeling satisfied but not overly full.What really stood out to me, though, was the warmth and welcoming nature of the staff. From the moment I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with a smile and made to feel like a valued guest. Throughout my meal, the staff checked in on me to ensure that I was enjoying my food and had everything I needed.Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Middle Eastern/Persian cuisine and a warm and welcoming dining experience. I will certainly be returning soon!

Stopped by for some lunch and the staff were absolutely lovely. Wonderful customer service. The inside is clean and they have free ice water. Would highly recommend for a delicious meal.

Decided to follow up on a recommendation to try this place out. Valid recommendation. I tried the bowl with a customized mix of chicken, lamb, and eggplant. All were good but the eggplant was special. Lots on the plate to feed two of us.

Over the past few of years I’ve walked pass by this place couple of times, finally today my friend and I finally paid a visit. We came in at the tail end of lunch time and there are still people ahead of us waiting to pick up their orders. From this phenomenon I can tell that over the years the locals have found this place a gem.My chicken sharwama wrap tasted delicious. I tasted light curry and yogurt amongst the greens and chicken fillings. The wrap towards the end leaked out oil, while that might just be me not eating it fast enough/ in the right way.Cashier knows the menu and is friendly. Your order gets brought to you when dinning in. Large glass/ plastic jug of water on the side free to fill.All the staff are in the kitchen prepping food orders. I know I would feel more comfortable if the tables could be wiped down after each use or at set schedule. Marvelous that diners have been decent tiding up after themselves. Nevertheless, the virus is still around and death number still gets published.

The place is nice and the atmosphere is good. Service is good. My problem was the food. The meat was dry and not juicy. In the lafa, not enough salad, no tahini. The portions were kind of small for the price. Limonana is super sweet! Even my kids couldn't drink it. We had big expectations for the flavors and were disappointed.
