YALLA SEATTLE
Arab cuisine traditionally served, with love.
Yalla, which roughly translates to “let’s go” in Arabic, is a celebration of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Our offerings are based in the deep roots of Palestinian, Jordanian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and Syrian cuisine.
Yalla’s rotating menu features time-honored preparations for unique saj sandwiches, mezzes, house-fermented pickles and hot sauce, milk puddings, and more. We partner with talented local Middle Eastern chefs and vendors to spread discovery and appreciation for the methods and flavors of the region.
We are located in the walk-up window next to Montana Bar in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle and open 12pm-10pm Monday-Thursday 12pm-12am Friday-Sunday
