Yalla Mediterranean - Culver City

Delicious!!! What's not to love? Well, except for beets. Beets are an awful vegetable that should really be banned from existence, but my veggie-loving friend who ordered them thinks Yalla's beets are fantastic. So, I guess you can stay this time, beets. Delicious highlights include the kefta (lamb/beef meatballs) and my three sides: a vibrant pepper and feta mix, potato salad (though there was one undercooked potato slice that tried to sneak in), and tabouli (a delightful salad of tomato, cucumber, and bulgur wheat). Plus, it came with rice, vegetables, and lentils—such a burst of flavor in my mouth! I enjoyed a refreshing housemade pomegranate lemonade. The only downside was that my pita was a bit dry. But back to the positives: all the tableware is compostable! Great deal!

The food was excellent, and the ambiance was lovely, with a nice outdoor seating area. I gave it 4 stars because I didn't find the welcome to be warm enough.
