About Yalla Bala

Electric Lane’s bustling hole-in-the-wall dishes up hefty, scratch-made Middle Eastern pitas packed edge to edge. Regulars head straight for the wood-smoke chicken shawarma, crisp falafel, or deeply seasoned vegan mushrooms stuffed into warm, house-baked bread. The kitchen sweats every component—tart sumac onions, house dill pickles, and creamy tahini dripping into the wrapper. Grab your pita, head into the open-air laneway courtyard, and pull up a seat with a cold beer poured from the bar next door.

  • Massive Scratch-Made Pitas: Overstuffed pockets of smoky chicken shawarma, golden falafel, or vegan mushrooms baked in-house daily.
  • Courtyard & Bar Setup: Breezy open-air laneway tables positioned for easy drink orders from neighboring bars like Servo and The Garden.
  • In-House Pickles & Condiments: Every pocket is layered with house-brined dill pickles, punchy sumac onions, chips, and rich tahini.

  • Dietary-accommodating comfort options

    Dietary choices and health requirements are catered to through flavour-packed vegan mushroom pitas as well as dedicated gluten-free salad bowls and chips.

    Tasty salad bowls with either chicken or falafels - really delicious. The gluten free chips were yum. Owner/chef super friendly. So good to get gluten free food.

  • Scratch-made components from bread to pickles

    The venue prepares every element on-site, from fresh-baked pita bread to signature dill pickles, distinctive relishes, and rich garlic sauces.

    each of the in-house salads, relishes and sauces had its own distinctive taste and flavour. The home-made dill pickle stood out.

  • Crisp-fried falafel with tender centres

    Falafels are freshly fried to achieve an ideal contrast between an ultra-crisp exterior shell and a light, flavourful interior.

    Crispy on the outside, soft and full of flavour inside. You can really taste the freshness in every bite.

  • Courtyard dining integrated with local bars

    Situated within a buzzing laneway courtyard, guests can grab craft beers and wine from neighbouring venues like Servo and The Garden while enjoying their meals.

    The ambience is also gorgeous, as you can eat your delicious pita while having a pint at Servo.

    It was my first time trying Chicken Shawarma Pita. The portion was large and had a mouthwatering appearance, and of course, the taste was amazing.

    Absolutely incredible and authentic falafel pita! All made in house, amazing attention to detail from the sumac onions, to the pickles to even putting the lid of the open pita inside.
