Did you know that Yababa, one of the latest restaurant additions to the Rosalie community, serves delicious, plant-based, Israeli cuisine?
After relocating to its new spot along Baroona Rd, the vegan Israeli restaurant Yababa opened its doors to the Brisbane public once again in early April 2021, offering people a slew of 100% plant-based dishes made entirely on-site.
One of the restaurant’s specialties is their delicious pocket pita bread as there are many different fillings to choose from, ranging from the classic falafel, to shawarma, all the way to hummus and salads. Prices range from $10 to $20 depending on the filling inside each sandwich, with the most expensive being the falafel meal deal which comes complete with small chips and a can of soda.
Other meals in their menu include Middle-Eastern classics such as hummus bowls which also come with many options. Customers will be able to indulge themselves with classic hummus, however they will also be able to order mesabecha — a hummus bowl served with a mix of warm chickpeas, tahini and garlic-lemon sauce. There is also Yababa’s Shakshuka, a spicy tomato and capsicum-based meal topped with two vegan eggs on a frying pan with pita bread, pickles, and tahini.
Savoury meals aren’t the only thing available at Yababa, for the restaurant also has much to offer in the way of vegan desserts and sweets to top off main courses. They even offer vegan tarts, donuts and cakes made with substitute ingredients for those with dietary restrictions. One of their most eye-catching desserts is the Iced Donuts Rocky Road.
Reviews have generally been positive, with many happy customers lauding the restaurant’s friendly staff and delicious food.
Absolutely delicious food. I had the gluten free veggie pattie plate and every single component of it was amazing. The staff were also really friendly and the chef came out to say hi and check on how the meals were going. Can’t wait to come back.
