Giveaway: Family Style Meal at Yalla Medi! #yallamedi

If you love Mediterranean food without the long wait, Yalla Medi has build-your-own pita wraps, skewers, salads, and a selection of fresh Mediterranean side dishes and sauces. Here's a Yalla Plate that I sampled with two different proteins: house-made Falafel and Steak Skewers. It comes with Basmati rice, mixed greens, and three sides.

Wraps

You can order one of their signature wraps or make your own. I tried their Moroccan Wrap, and it was super hot because of the fire feta. (So good though). Other signatures are The Greek, Jerusalem "Street Style" and Lebanese.

Salads

If you prefer a healthy salad, you can select from Power Greens with kale, balsamic apricots, toasted almonds, feta cheese, and lemon vinaigrette OR Fattoush with romaine, cabbage, radish, tomato, cucumber, garbanzo beans, olives, red onion, pita chips, and vinaigrette. I ordered my Power Greens with Salmon. 

How to Order:

Here's how to order at YALLA MEDI. First, select a style: Do you want a wrap, salad, or plate? Then pick your favorite protein and sides.


PROTEIN OPTIONS:

• Falafel (house-made, GMO-free, chickpea fritters), 
• Chicken Skewers (all natural chicken breast, fresh herbs & spices), 
• Chicken Shawarma (slow roasted with Lebanese spices), 
• Steak Skewers (hormone free, Harissa marinated tri-tip), 
• Shalafel (half chicken shawarma and half Falafel) , 
• Salmon Skewers (wild caught, fresh herbs and spices), OR
• Kefta Skewers (Turkish spiced ground lamb & beef).

YALLA SIDES:

• Greek Potato Salad (Yukon Gold Potatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, scallions),
• Turkish Slaw (red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, olive oil),
• Moroccan Carrot Salad (shaved carrots, cumin, dill, olive oil, golden raisins, honey, Greek vinaigrette),
• Hummus (GMO free chickpeas, Tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil),
• Baba Ganoush (eggplant, parsley, lemon, garlic, Tahini, olive oil), OR
• Other seasonal sides. 

Yalla Kids Plate  

Kids can choose from Chicken Skewer, Steak Skewer, Salmon Skewer, or Falafel. Kid's plates are served with Basmati rice, YALLA Fries (fries topped with Feta Ranch), and one YALLA side PLUS a beverage for $5.95.

Greek Frozen Yogurt

And if you saved room for dessert, they offer Greek Frozen Yogurt! Select from toppings like honey, chocolate or sour cherry sauce, and chopped Baklava or chocolate "Pita" crumbles (contains nuts). Yummy!



I thought the food was great, but a bit spicy for my kids. I also like that you can customize your order and if you can't finish, it's already in an eco-friendly to-go container so all you need to do is to grab a lid. The ordering process can be a little overwhelming for the first time and the line moves fast so you'll want to familiarize yourself beforehand. Right now the closest one to us is in Seal Beach but we're going to start seeing more restaurants converting to this new concept throughout the year.
