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!!

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!

Amazing food and service, the food tasted so good and the manger was so nice that he gave us cookies. You have to come here and try their food. Definitely will be coming here again soon!! 😊

Dry as bone. Had to make my own sauce of tehini as I felt like I could choke from how dry it was. No flavor whatsoever. All you taste is stale pita pickles. Don't waste your money here. Very very disappointing.

Excellent falafel wrap. Their yafa fries are delicious too! I've been to this place a handful of times and it's never disappointed. I have some special memories of picking up food from here with my mom on the way home from her appointments. It's got a special little place in my heart. The owner is extremely friendly and gave me a free cookie today while I waited for my wrap. I definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in good food!
