Had been to Ya Hala a few times pre-covid and really enjoyed the place. When we arrived this time it was much more casual so instead of ordering at your table, there was a counter where you ordered. We were there for lunch and the large windows made the place feel very open and airy. We ordered our food and waited about 15 minutes for our food. I ordered the 1/4 chicken - flavor was good, but it was a bit dry. Since it was dark meat, I was a bit surprised. The hummus was really good, not sure about the slaw. Wife ordered the lamb patty on rice and it was pretty good. All in all, we left a bit disappointed.
