Yafo describes themselves as a fast casual Middle Eastern concept and offers some really good vegan options. The online menu identifies which cold toppings are vegan, but they do not mark the sides. Based on previous inquiries, the brussels and cauliflower are vegan, but the potatoes are not (they use drippings from the rotisserie to cook them). With 3 locations around Charlotte, it should definitely be a part of your rotation. The build your own bowl hummus/grain option with laffah is our top choice. They have a good mix of vegan toppings and it makes for a filling meal with or without the addition of falafel.
Tips:
Don’t forget to get dolmas, which are considered a topping.
Ask for some spicy red schug, but be warned it is indeed spicy.
