Cafe Yafa Natick

"The service was wonderful and attentive - we went through a lot of pita bread and our server was so gracious in refilling the basket for us. The food was good, not great. The kibbeh was a bit dry, the pita was a bit stale, the tabbouleh tasted fresh but had a too much bulgur for my taste and not enough lemon. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the shakshuka hit the spot with a good amount of garlic - I do wish it was fresh feta/cheese instead of packaged, though. Overall, I would go back again to support them. They do have standard breakfast sandwiches on the menu if some people in your party want more American food."

"From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and kind welcome from the owner -- such a great start! I've tried many Mediterranean restaurants, but their shawarma and hummus are truly outstanding. While our family was dining in, locals kept coming in for takeout nonstop, which says a lot! They even sell gift cards, so it's clearly a local favorite. If you're nearby, don't hesitate -- this is the place to go!"

"YAFA is the best place I've eaten at when it comes to the middle eastern cuisine!! I'm always met with smiles from the owner and the most hospitality I've ever received at a restaurant. He's so sweet and appreciates your business. He gave me a gift at the end of my meal!! This is the place you come when you want amazing food and a service that feels like a warm hug 15/10 recommend!!"

"You have to try the beef and lamb shawarma the chicken shawarma is really good too. The fries are incredible. Everything is homemade here. The best Middle Eastern food in Boston"

"The staff is very kind and sometimes gives you free food (like cookies,) and pays close attention to allergies. The food is affordable and very tasty. There is a wide variety of options, but the portions for meat are sometimes too small. They have very creative dishes like pistachio muffins. The restaurant is very clean, has lots of space, and is not situated far from Downtown Natick. However, it is sometimes a little unnoticed because it is a little far off the highway. This restaurant is open a lot and would totally recommend this restaurant due to good and affordable food and great service."

"Cafe Yafa deserves every great review. Here is why you will agree... 1. The food is SO good. Usually I am skeptical when I see tons of reviews saying how good the food is, but these reviews are well deserved, the food was fantastic. (see photos for food). 2. Warm welcome. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly and offered menus to look over what we wanted to order. After a quick review we ordered and sat at the bar seating. 3. Fast. We talked for a moment and food started to come out! Perfect pace and we never felt rushed. 4. Easy to get to. Right off a main road with plenty of parking. Check out the photos to get a sense of the space. This is well worth a visit!"
