Yafa
Middle Eastern
The smell of roasting meat drifts out onto the street before you even find the door. Yafa is a Middle Eastern restaurant tucked into Carmel, where the owner's goodbye sometimes includes a hug, which is either charming or alarming depending on your relationship with hugs. The mezze plate arrives generously loaded, and the kebabs come properly charred. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and locals fill it like they never considered anywhere else.

Aleppo kafta
“The Aleppo kafta, combining ground beef and lamb, is richly seasoned and perfectly paired with a side of zippy tzatziki.”

Mezze
“Be sure to begin any meal with an enormous plate of their mezze, heaped with minty cucumber and tomato salad, hummus as well as a sundried tomato- and feta-dip for scooping up with warm and fluffy pita.”
