“Good food, right portions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2013 via mobile

The place is small, but it has a nice atmosphere; food is excellent (maybe desserts not at the same level as the rest), with good selection of wines and beers. Definitely one of the best places in Andover.

We are so happy to hear what a positive experience you had at Yella! Creating fresh, flavorful dishes is of the utmost importance to us. The scallops and short ribs are certainly two of my favorite entrées as well, and the mezza platter and other appetizers you chose are a great way to start off the meal. Thanks again for... More

“Good food, good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2013

We come here every once in awhile from work for lunch. Nice little place tucked inside an alley off of Andover's Main Street. Nothing fancy, but good tasty food and good service. My personal fav'tes are the Medallion Chicken and Mediterranean Chicken Pesto wrap.

“The little restaurant that can”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2012

Like the little train children's story, here is a small restaurant that does not know it can not deliver what a big restaurant can... So they just do it. Great service, great food and a menu you want to eat everything on it. It is Mediterranean cooking with a middle eastern bent. 8 to 10 main courses seem to change... More

“Great Mediterranean cuisine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2012 via mobile

Giving away Andover's best kept secret, but Yella, in my opinion, has earned the distinction of best in town. The menu is fantastic, staff is friendly, intimate and upscale ambiance. Each plate is an effort of love for foodies to enjoy. The Michelin guide would be happy.

“It Should Be So Much Better”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2012

What an odd experience to revisit the home of Cassis, one of the best restaurants anywhere and to see what it has become. We have been to Yella twice in recent months. Sadly, it just is not very good. I LOVE mediterranean food--and I have had t all over the world. This is passable as best, and inedible at worst.... More

We are deeply disappointed that your two recent dining experiences with us at Yella were not enjoyable for you. It is upsetting that the falafel, lamb pappardelle, and salmon were not prepared properly, and consequently not to your liking. I would like to invite you back to Yella, and ask that you contact me directly prior to your visit so... More

I ate here on Friday night. The place is very small, but the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is good. I had the stuffed eggplant and really enjoyed it.
