Reviews
The food was amazing, the staff friendly and professional, and the ambience was like being back home. I love a well prepared Churrasco that is cooked properly and delivers flavor and the right amount of juiciness. Let me say first the Churrasco smelled divine, it did not over power but just the right amount to get your mouth watering. As you cut in to the steak it’s the perfect level of tenderness to get you excited to taste the meat and once you take the first bit, it’s like a little bit of heaven in your mouth. The best part is the steak delivers from beginning to end. Definitely on the must redo list.
What can I say? This is a great little spot in the Bronx for Dominican-tasting food. My wife and kids loclved the atmosphere and staff. The chef even came out and took picture with my daughters. We are definitely coming back. Thank staff and Yala
It's a great small cozy restaurant. The food is great and she's also trying new plates to her customers from Tomahawk steak, Lambs chop and Surf and Turf to many more. Yala is a very creative chef. Great customer services. The only purpose I didn't gave them a five is because they don't take credit card/debit and they don't sell beers or anything type of alcohol.
Food was perfect from taste to Presentation. Everything was delicious. Friendly staff and very helpful. I just didn't like the waiting for food part. Wish it was a little faster or at least some kind of bread or something for the wait. Overall the Atmosphere was welcoming!
First time visiting was not aware they only take cash. Luckily there is an ATM on site. The server we had was not very knowledgeable as far as the menu. The server was not able to answer questions regarding certain meals. Tap water is not an available option, considering NY has some of the best water, If you wanted water you had to purchase a bottle. Also no diet sod available. No bread or anything offered to snack on while you waited for your food. Our meal took 1 hour. It did come out hot which was great. The food was very tasty.
Their food is amazing just the seasoning is on point highly recommended you won't be sorry. Even though it's kinda pricey but it worth it.
Nice, clean place with friendly staff. Music is pleasant and at a good level. Their tamarind juice and lemonade are pleasantly strong without being overbearing.
The skirt steak and the octopus two ways (pulpo de parilla) were delicious. The latter was perfectly balanced in terms of salt and acid.
This is real Dominican food with garnishing. Great presentation, phenomenal customer service best part is the real fresh juice. Most NY restaurant are good but this one is a must go.
