Yalla Yalla-do

Yalla Yalla is a new Libanese restaurant and cafe that's opened up near Schwester's work. She's been meaning to try it for ages but it's probably a good thing she's waited until now because otherwise she's already be a dress size larger.

It is excellent. She had a halloumi wrap for lunch with an orange blossom lemonade. It was streets ahead of the halloumi wrap she'd eaten from a local sandwich bar recently and was very well priced. All the food is made freshly and it makes all the difference. You can really taste it. Cheap halloumi is nasty and not even the best chef can hide it but this wrap was a delight. Every mouthful was a pleasure. It was a flat bread wrap with fresh salad and olives and was well worth the £3.50 asking price. Even the meat wraps were only £4.00 which for something so tasty is a very good deal!

The only downside was the slightly slow service but that appeared to be the result of an infortuitously timed lunch break. Schwester will definitely be going back and hopefully in the evening as there's a proper menu to sample.

She also may be back to sample some of their delicious looking cakes... individual fig tart anyone?

  1. Schwester's been back a second time... I can also recommend the apple, mint and ginger lemonade (her friends had it and it was goooood) and the salads and other wraps.

    So good - get thyself to it!
