Guestbook & Reviews

Experience Through Their Eyes

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and kind welcome from the owner — such a great start! I’ve tried many Mediterranean restaurants, but their shawarma and hummus are truly outstanding. While our family was dining in, locals kept coming in for takeout nonstop, which says a lot! They even sell gift cards, so it’s clearly a local favorite. If you’re nearby, don’t hesitate — this is the place to go!

The staff is very kind and sometimes gives you free food (like cookies,) and pays close attention to allergies. The food is affordable and very tasty. There is a wide variety of options, but the portions for meat are sometimes too small. They have very creative dishes like pistachio muffins. The restaurant is very clean, has lots of space, and is not situated far from Downtown Natick. However, it is sometimes a little unnoticed because it is a little far off the highway. This restaurant is open a lot and would totally recommend this restaurant due to good and affordable food and great service.

Cafe Yafa deserves every great review. Here is why you will agree… 1. The food is SO good. Usually I am skeptical when I see tons of reviews saying how good the food is, but these reviews are well deserved, the food was fantastic. (see photos for food). 2. Warm welcome. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly and offered menus to look over what we wanted to order. After a quick review we ordered and sat at the bar seating. 3. Fast. We talked for a moment and food started to come out! Perfect pace and we never felt rushed. 4. Easy to get to. Right off a main road with plenty of parking. Check out the photos to get a sense of the space. This is well worth a visit!

Excellent falafel wrap. Their yafa fries are delicious too! I've been to this place a handful of times and it's never disappointed. I have some special memories of picking up food from here with my mom on the way home from her appointments. It's got a special little place in my heart. The owner is extremely friendly and gave me a free cookie today while I waited for my wrap. I definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in good food!

Cafe Yafa was absolutely delicious, you cannot miss it. It’s super accessible, right off major highways. Salaam at the front was so kind and helped explain any questions we had about the menu. The kofta sandwich and beef&lamb shawarma sandwich were so tasty— perfectly seasons and spiced, with hints of sumac. The tabbouleh was so finely chopped and perfectly acidic. On our way out we got za’atar manakish and while we waited Salaam gave us iced coffees. The manakish was warm from the oven and packed with za’star and sumac. You must try it. They also have a great selection of Palestinian products if you’re looking by for some of the best olive oil and tahini! It was a serendipitous lunch.
