Open late · until 2 AMOrder Now

Our story

Family-owned. 100% halal. Open late.

“Yalla” means “let's go.” It's what you say when the food is ready and nobody wants to wait. We built Yalla Shawarma around that feeling: shawarma sliced off the spit to order, wrapped in saj, sauced the way you like it, and ready fast.

[Owner to add: who started Yalla, where the recipes come from, and the family members behind the counter. Two or three sentences in their own words reads best.]

What we promise

Halal, every protein

Beef, chicken and lamb are halal. No alcohol on the premises.

Sliced to order

Nothing sits under a heat lamp. Your shawarma comes off the spit when you order.

Family-run

Our recipes, our kitchen, and our name on every order that leaves it.

Late, on purpose

We're open until 2 AM, and until 3 AM on Friday and Saturday nights, because South End is too.
