As mentioned before, Mediterranean restaurants are usually safe bets for vegans in that many of the standard items such as hummus, falafel, baba ganoush, vegetarian grape leaves, tabouli and fatoush are almost always vegan. And fortunately, there are a lot of great Mediterranean options in Northwest Ohio.
We were excited to try Yala Kol Express this past weekend and were delighted with our meals. We ordered a Holy Land Falafel sandwich and a Yala Veggie Combo. The sandwich included tomatoes, pickled turnips, onions and tahini sauce. The falafel were tenderly cooked and the sandwich, served in a thin pita, was lightly baked. The Veggie Combo included hummus, baba ganoush (spelled "ganug" here), tabouli, two falafel patties and two vegetarian grape leaves (served warm) over a large portion of savory rice.
The food was tasty and not overly greasy as is often the case in Mediterranean restaurants (at least to our oil-averse palates). They had olive oil bottles available for those who crave more oil. There were other options as well, including another falafel sandwich and a veggie kabob platter.
There is a Yala Kol (not express) in Toledo that looks to have the same menu as the Express with perhaps a few other options. We loved our meals and plan to be back soon!
