YALDA – Middle Eastern Cuisine at Sihlcity Zurich
New Restaurant in Zurich
YALDA at Sihlcity Zurich
There’s a new restaurant in Zurich called YALDA and it’s located at Sihlcity in Zurich. Featuring creative, modern dishes from the Middle East, it is decorated with beautiful artefacts from Morocco, North Africa and beyond. There are colourful tiled tables, comfy cushions, gorgeous lanterns and glass bottles of preserved lemons. It feels as if you’ve landed in the a setting from a Thousand and One Nights.
Weigh and Pay
Based on the principle of serve yourself whatever you fancy, then “weigh and pay”, similar to the concept at Hiltl and Tibits, here they also have meat options too.
There are buffets of both hot and cold food and YALDA also offers everything as a takeaway option.
The cost per 100g is CHF 4.40 for eat in, and CHF 3.90 for take away.
The Meaning of YALDA
The name incidentally means “Winter Solstice” in Persian, which is the longest day of the year and when traditionally families and friends group together for a wonderful feast.
We arrived for lunch just a few days after it had opened and it was packed! It’s already proving immensely popular and we really enjoyed the diverse and very tasty fare – so much colour and so many flavours. And all in a fun and relaxed setting! There is bound to be something for everyone!
Indoor and Outdoor Seating
Open from Monday to Saturday, with seating for 90 indoors and around 30 outside, it’s a fabulous place to enjoy your own combination of wonderful delicacies.
There is also a shop in the foyer of the restaurant selling cookery books, spices, oils and Middle Eastern accoutrements.
