I’m so disappointed in our trip to Yala. I’ve been here several times before and the service is incredible. The food is amazing as well and was not the issue we had. Unfortunately, we had a terrible service. The restaurant seemed pretty empty for a Sunday morning, but somehow our server ignored us most of the time. And our needs were very basic and minimal. It seemed like none of the servers seemed very enthusiastic about being there and I’m a little confused as to. How things could be so different compared to previous visits here. The food was amazing as always.

One of our party requires a gluten-free diet and she was totally accommodated - her menu was marked up for her to make appropriate choices and we had very good service all around. Plus everything was DELICIOUS!!

We have been to this restaurant many times. Food is good however staffing is always low/slow. Tonight was exceptionally slow. They were out of the hummus w/burnt tips (so good)!. Took quite a while to receive drinks. They came after the salad was served. We ordered two of the salmons. One was really undercooked so I sent it back. It finally came 10 minutes after we ate all of the other items so we took it home. It will be a while before we go back...

Great place to go with friends to share dishes. The large number of vegetarian items is one of the best around.
