It's an amazing place, as a broke college student. Getting to go out is one of those things that are usually a double-edged sword type of ordeal. But here I get great food and service and don't walk away with a dent in my wallet. Overall great place. Totally recommend you try it if you are able too.

It was great and I will be back! I stopped in one afternoon since the place was new and I love Mediterranean. The owner was very friendly and gave me a lot of chicken in my chicken shawarma bowl! I also got to choose many other toppings like onions, jalapeno, cucumber, and he suggested the pickles too. The flavors were all there and I can’t wait to go back and try another bowl and possibly their baklava for dessert!

Line took a little while after a game. But well worth it. Super good when hotdogs and hamburgers make u feel ill thinking about them. Light, authentic and delicious. Can't wait to go back

I am not sure the name of my server, but they did a good job explaining the food to me, and was very sweet about it. Everyone was very kind and the food was absolutely amazing. I got the bowl with yellow rice and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

The food at Yaba was delicious! I got the chicken sharwarma bowl with lettuce instead of rice, red cabbage salad and the Jerusalem salad. Everything was very flavorful and extremely fresh. The service was nice and friendly. If you go in, it's setup like a sandwich shop... order at the back and make your way down the line telling them what you want on your bowl or sandwich. Great option for a quick lunch....

Honestly the best Mediterranean for miles around. The ingredients always look fresh and they’re all filling and amazing tasting. The portions are pretty big for the prize. Always find myself coming back to this place when in Greenville.
