  I'm an Easy Eater and you should be one too! This place is the second one in Jacksonville. I've been to their first one and now to their second location. (Just tell me where there will be a third+. I'm going for the Grand Opening from now on. This place is amazing. I just enjoyed their Ya-ya Chicken sandwich. KF#, Popoe$×, Chur@<#, and Chick-F!&-*;% don't have anything on their chicken sandwich. This beautiful beast boldly bossed bun bounded behemoth brought big bliss! Say that 10 times fast! I could get a stomach ache fast enough. This knocked out my hunger and hit the spot. I don't even know what was in it, but it was crafted for bold taste. I had their Dubai-style cheesecake dessert. This mamma here looked so cool that I didn't want to eat it at first. Then I had to because I was curious as to how it tasted. I loved the mixture of cake too ice cream to hazelnut crispy toppings to drizzle on the plate ratio. The flavors and textures were all working together for something totally unexpected. The crispy top was my favorite. It went first because I wanted some of it with every other part. I love this place. It's big and welcoming. You could watch sports and just kick back by yourself or with the family or friends. You should check this place out the next time you are in the 5- Point area.

  This introduction to Moroccan food was EVERYTHING I never knew I needed. I ordered the small mixed grill platter, which comes with 2 lamb chops, chicken, a kefta kebab, saffron rice, salad, and pita ....and baby… the plate came LOADED. There was truly no single star of the show because every bite took my taste buds on a wild ride. Each protein was seasoned to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. And don’t even get me started on the sauces which elevated the entire meal beyond measure. This was one of those meals where you take the first bite and immediately start planning your next visit. I now want to try everything on the menu. If you’re curious about Moroccan food or just love bold, flavorful meals, EZ Eats by YaYa is a MUST. 🔥 Highly recommend. Flavor on 10. Will be back.

  I found this by accident when I was in the 5 Points area and based on the description “Moroccan street food”, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! They have a selection of chicken, beef, and fish-based sandwiches, platters, and bowls. I was torn between several options but ended up getting the Yaya Crispy Sandwich with a side of fries. Total bill before tax and tip was $15–a very good price for such a generous amount of food. The food was delicious! I’ve never had a sauce like the one in this sandwich—pickles, a few olives (I think) and a sauce that I can’t describe. It wasn’t spicy at all and the combination of textures and flavors was delightful! I would definitely have this again. The interior is comfortable, with several padded booths and tables with chairs big enough to fully sit in. The main lighting display is really interesting. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I will be back!

  I do truly hope that this establishment is not the way of the future. A "Premium" price for extremely low quality food in an atmosphere of automation. 1) If we compare the price of ingredients to the asking price of the meal we find that one of the cheapest and unhealthy cuts of chicken are used at the price of a healthier protein option by the establishment. Even in the normal grocery Chicken thighs are a half to a third of the price of Chicken breasts. Thighs are also extremely fatty in comparison also. As well the preparation and spices included, if one could call it that, seemed to lack any personality in the meal. Unless of course one wants to dip their greasy chicken into more oil that has so much cumin in it that there is no other taste nor texture than grease and cumin. The "salad" of the dish that was included left everything wanting. From cheap wilted greens, bitter tomatoes (which happens when they are refrigerated too long) and mushy cucumber slices and of course that "wonderful" blend of salad dressing/dip of cumin and oil I could only get a good vegetable from... my fridge. The included "saffron" rice was also a joke. Too much proportion of rice to anything included and also lacking any real flavor. To put copious amounts of a filling agent like rice on a high priced plate is really and truly a scam against the customer. 2) The environment itself was clean-ish. If anything it was too sterile of an environment though. I found it very depressing that people were there with their SO's as a "date night dinner". 0 personality or character in the establishment whatsoever. Furniture was new which lends very well to a place looking clean however seeing grease streak marks reflecting from the tabletops does indicate the lack of attention to detail whilst cleaning up after previous customers. To top it all off, unless there were customers leaving the establishment I only saw 1 person in the actual front of the house during what seemed to be a healthily bust time. No actual service nor customer care whatsoever. But at least they did have the ironic TV systems all playing sports to increase the chill, private, personal vibe (That is sarcasm of course). 3) Robotic Food Court. The experience walking in was extremely mechanical. One walks in, peruses a back lit menu with no real choices nor options. Immediately presented with said "sportsball" TV's, a menu of very few options, and huge touch screen ordering displays. The only human interaction was by the time we were done figuring out how to order someone came up behind the counter and said 'Ill take you order if you want.", just in time for them to finish the payment portion. And prompt me to tip them. I found myself wondering why I should be tipping someone for coldly offering to merely talk my money. Ok, I confess, there was one more interaction, when a different person from the back looking quit unkempt brought the order from the kitchen and called my name. I quickly picked up my order and exited not being too hopeful about the remainder of the evening. In summation, I would give negative stars to this whole experience if I could. It felt truly like walking through a mall and finding a food court to eat at. It left me feeling like I was just a nobody in a herd of people going to a trough for my slop at mid-scale restaurant prices. At the end of the day I took my girlfriend home, we "plated" the take away, tried some of the "food" and threw it in the garbage minus just a little bit. Why the little bit? Because we still needed to eat and we decided to cook instead so we could have something palatable. It didn't take long to prepare a very similar meal in fact. Only this time with actual flavor, texture, freshness. Hence saving a bit of the cat food we were given as comparison to what an actual kabob experience should be. Calling it cat food actually does it too much justice. My cat wouldn't even touch it and he LOVES chicken. I would not even recommend this establishment to my worst enemy.

  Wow. This replaced Cuisine 76, a locally owned restaurant that had fresh, clean Middle Eastern food and a great atmosphere. I was beyond disappointed. First off, the atmosphere is clearly designed mostly for takeout. It is austere, cold, sterile and uninviting. Much like a Moroccan Chipotle. This is why I made my order a pickup. The food, however is why I give it 1 star. I ordered the hummus trio and chicken kebabs. The hummus trio was 90% oil and 10% chickpea with slightly stale pita wedges that I could get at the Winn Dixie. I threw most of it away. The kebabs were worse. For $18 (plus tax), I expect white meat chicken. Instead, I got thigh meat that was all fat. I ate NONE OF IT. The saffron rice was super greasy and it came with a salad mostly full of half wilted romaine lettuce, a tomato slice and a few onion snips. No grilled veggies. Not anything to justify the price. I’ve had better $5 kebabs from a NYC street vendor. I spent over $35 total and went to bed hungry. Go at your own risk. And RIP to Cuisine 76– what a shame. Their food was incredible. I will never go back here.
