    Yalla isn’t just a great neighborhood restaurant, but a destination for anyone in Portland to enjoy. The food is so tasty - we had the salmon collar special (which we loved as much as the regular salmon dish), the fried chicken is always awesome, and don’t pass on the cornbread. The service is warm and efficient - another lovely dining experience.
