Absolutely exquisite on every level. The atmosphere, service and above all else; the meal !! We had only one day in London, which was my second time ever! After going in for lunch we simply had to return again for dinner. It was the best meal of our lives. I am also celiac, and had absolutely no issues whatsoever! The food is authentic and therefore almost entirely gluten free, and the owner herself has an allergy, ontop of being a fabulous hostess. The meals were absolutely gorgeous. The service was top of the line. The atmosphere was incredible. And the prices were extremely fair! We would go to London a million times again just to dine here ! If you are looking for more than just food, this is the place.
Food was good, but service could be better, also feel bad for the fish as their water didn’t look too clean. Also think top of the menu said all mains with salad, but the combo didn’t come with salad.
Great food and atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. Chicken skewers were delicious - just like homemade. I'd love to come again when I visit London.
Yamas is an incredible restaurant. We spent a great positive Greek evening. Very pleasant and cozy atmosphere, delicious Greek food prepared excellently, smiling and responsive staff, fast service, great Greek live music, bouzouki and lots of dancing and the breaking of plates inherent in Greek entertainment of good music is a very fun experience. Prices are very good for everything you get there.I loveit
Pity I had an early dinner before working out, but my friend’s chicken gyro looks amazing, from the fresh cut grilled meat slices to the fluffy rice and the pita bread. Drooling… I’ll definitely come back to try these. I also didn’t expect such a nice latte at a restaurant. Rich (whole milk but still) and balanced. The staff are super friendly. The living plant decoration is beautiful. And the advertisement for Greek lessons is adorable!!
