Regularly go to yamas with family. Restaurant size is a bit of squeeze when you have a pram, but staff are accommodating.
-
Kathleen Mcmahon –
The food as always was delicious with good service until it got busy then we had to wait longer. It was very noisy and the person sat opposite me struggled to hear the conversation.

Miss Ventrella –
Excellent! 5* on every level. Great food, brilliant family run restaurant with great customer service. A gem of a Taverna.
-
Margaret Lewis –
The food was really tasty, however I did not realise that the restaurant was on 2 floors and unfortunately we were placed on the upper floor. This made it very difficult for 2 customers with mobility problems as there was no lift. If we were to return it would have to be specified that we were placed on a downstairs table.
-
Kerry Proudlove –
I had an amazing meal ..staff and food cannot fault will definitely be returning
-
Clare Nithsdale –

This is the gem of Nottingham, and my favourite place to eat. The food is always authentically excellent, service is top notch and the staff surely know their wines. Value for money is faultless and everyone who I've recommended to go to Yamas has always loved it.
-
Elaine Woodward –
Everything was perfect. Such good food at a very reasonable price. Food was a little slow coming out, as it was very busy, but well worth the wait

We spent a lovely evening in the restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. We’ll definitely visit again.
-
Dawn Wilks –
We had the special mezze. The food was superb and couldn’t fault it. I didn’t have room for desert as was so filling.
I was just disappointed with the restaurant. We were given a table in front of the bar near the door to the kitchen. We asked to move as I felt uncomfortable. The second table was right by the door & we couldn’t relax as constant flow of people coming in & out. It is a very cramped & dark restaurant. It really spoilt the evening for us. It’s a shame because the food is very good. -
Steve Hughes –
Great as usual. Probably the best value lunch deal in town.
-
Jodie Clifford –
Yamas serves the most delicious food in Nottingham. I recommend their Moussaka. Delectable! The staff are warm, welcoming and the service is prompt and attentive. The tapas dishes can always seem expensive at first sight but the portions are generous and the ingredients are really good quality. Thank you, Yamas!
-
Josie Tweddle –
Lovely good and service. Always a pleasure to dine here. My partner got stuck at work but staff were very understanding and held our table for us.
-
Agnes Duczmal –

Extremely tasty varied choice of Greek food. The excellent service too!
-
Aaron Hoare –
Always a great experience in Yamas and our most recent visit was no exception.
We opted for the larger set menu. The 4 of us who went are quite big eaters but it is still just WAYYYY too much food. Everything absolutely delicious, but if you go for it, be prepared to leave much heavier than you came in! -
Charlotte Green –
Lovely restaurant, friendly, helpful & very attentive staff.
Food was absolutely phenomenal, I recently returned from Cyprus & thought I’d eaten great food but this place is another level!!
We will definitely be back. -
Darren Golding –
Our first visit to Yamas, and what a pleasant experience.
Opted for the good value tapas lunch deal, and was not disappointed. Stifado was excellent..... could of eaten a full dish of it, maybe next time.
There where quite a few parties in at the time of our booking, making it quite a boisterous ambience, but would not put us off returning. Thank you Yamas, see you again! -
Mrs Linda Gill –
2nd visit and again another super meal, salmon in a cream and tomato sauce with lemon rice, had dessert this time and had a share of a Greek cake with honey and the Greek yoghurt with honey and nuts, a very delicious mix. Excellent and very friendly service.
-
Mrs Linda Gill –
Had an absolute fabulous time at Yamas, the food was all freshly cooked and really good. The portions are generous, and the staff very helpful and friendly. I took 7 friends there for my birthday and we all had a great time, there are lots of different dishes to choose from, so something for everyone. Would go again.
-
Louisa Pitcher –
Great food good service
-
Hannah Broom –
Delicious food, as always. Great service and a lovely atmosphere.
Will return again and again :) -
Marta Wakeling –
The food is very nice and the menu is big,so there is plenty of choice for everyone. Worth ordering couple of dishes and sharring them! Very good value for money. The service was very goood apart from the fact that I felt like we rlwere being watched and as soon as we took the last bite of each dish the waiter was there to take the plate from us.....Impossible to scoop the last bits of deliciousness off the plate ;) will definitely be going back!

Excellent, great food.
-
Sean Correia –
Great meze, the mushrooms and Lamb kokosstinos (SP?) were the highlights for me. Décor is a little dated and the restaurant was very warm but attentive staff and well priced food with quality ingredients made the meal good.
-
Louise Davies –
We went as a group of 12 for a friends birthday. They did originally sit us a table too small but sorted it out for us very quickly and sat us upstairs. Our waiter Fredericko was excellent. We all ordered in twos rather to share as a table so when the food came out, he remembered who had ordered what and where to put everything. He was very patient and friendly too. The food was very tasty and good sized portions for tapas!
He sang happy birthday at the end with us and celebrated with a shot as well. Would definitely go back. -
Tina Sharp –
My husband and I had a lovely time at Yamas yesterday. We chose from the very reasonable lunch time menu and this is our first visit here. The food was delicious!!!! The service was very good indeed. Couldn't fault Yamas and will be definitely going back. Great atmosphere also.

Everything was perfect as always!
-
Gail Cobb –
Love this place. The lunch special menu is such good value! Staff are lovely too!!
-
Amt Kempster –
Went with 4 friends and we all chose 2 dishes each. Every dish we had was fantastic. We were also amazed that the bill for 5 of us eating, 2 bottles of wine plus 5 other drinks only came to just over £100. Incredible value for money as we were all stuffed !
-
Sam Wordsworth –
Absolutely fantastic food and experience. 100% will go again.

Richard Carey –
Fantastic food in a great setting. Value for money is excellent and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be heading back. The only improvement would be from a quicker service especially when the restaurant is not busy. This would not put me off from going again!!
-
Kate Taylor –
As always gorgeous food, excellent service and brilliant value for money!
-
Andrew Hodson –
Me and my partner love going to the Greek islands and eating the lovely food. That’s why we come to Yamas. Great food, great service. A very nice place.

We enjoyed everything the food was superb. The service was five stars.
-
Kathryn Hewitt –
Eight of us thoroughly enjoyed our pre-theatre lunch. Staff are friendly and amusing. Food is very good, with a varied menu, and excellent value. It was extremely busy and they were having to turn people away, but they remained cheerful and helpful. Booking is therefore recommended.

Busy evening, close with a table of 8 at Christmas time. Good food, was a bit hot in the restaurant though, but overall had a good meal and evening out
-
Sally Wood –
As usual Yamas didn’t let us down. The food was amazing. Such good value for money. The service is first class and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be back - again and again.
-
Norma Mckinney –
Meal was excellent. Food was very tasty and service was very good.
-
Sharon Holwell –
In my opinion it’s a Lovely restaurant and nice atmosphere. Food really good but you have to buy everything separately, so for example if you buy the casserole you would have to buy the veg/potatoes - so it adds up! Also, the waiter never brought back our change, it was only a few quid so we decided they could keep it for a tip
-
Daniel Mason –
Great meal and very well priced!
-
James Murphy –
Fantastic Christmas Meze menu, well priced at around £23 each. Huge selection and more than enough quantity.
-
cheryl yeomans –
2nd time we've eaten here. Lovely meal. You do need to book as it's always busy.
-
Richard Short –
Excellent food and great value for money. Service was very good considering how busy they were.
-
Steve Hughes –
Great food as always and the prices are spot on. Extensive wine list completes it all. Only issue is they cram so many tables in there that service can be a bit on the slow side. Doesn't distract from a great value meal though.
-
Richard Powell –
Amazed to see the place buzzing at 1pm mid-week!
Expected a wait of 20-30 mins for mains - everything is truly fresh and cooked to order and, boy, does it taste good. By the far the best Greek food I have ever eaten. The Patatas Bravas is better than I've ever eaten in Spain. Can't fault the food, the prices, the size of servings or friendliness of the staff. -
Uresha Patel –
Always love this place. Can always trust it for great food and service.
-
Sally Wood –
As usual Yamas was amazing. The food is consistently good and the staff are always friendly. Would thoroughly recommend Yamas to anyone!
-
Kathryn Hewitt –
The set lunch is excellent value. As there were 4 of us we selected most of the mezze dishes from the menu, all of which were delicious. The house white wine is good, as is the selection of desserts. This was my second visit within a few months, and all agreed we would recommend it and visit again.

Food was delicious and very filling! Wasn't able to finish all but thankfully pack up and take home was an option which we gladly did. The pork kebab was superb and definitely recommend the prawns in herb butter. Fantastic night out. Thank you!
-
Uresha Patel –
Always hits the spot!
-
Phil Gillborn –

Kathryne Evans –
We love everything about Yamas, food is amazing. I would say if you want a quiet meal it is quite loud as quite as a few parties eat there. However it's all part of the atmosphere!
-
Katie Ball –
Food absolutely delicious and great value. Had the lunch time deal of 3 dishes for £7.95. Every dish was so tasty and presented well. Excellent and friendly service. Perfect!
-
Jennifer Halpin –
I have never had a bad meal at Yamas. The food is always excellent and the lunchtime tapas menu is really good value. The three I selected were all off good portion size and I am always full and satisfied after eating here. We shared a lemon drizzle cake as a dessert which was lovely as well. Top marks yet again Yamas!

Lovely lunchtime meal - great food at Yamas.
-
Sarah James –
Good menu and friendly service. My kleftico was a bit disappointing and dry. The Steak skewers were good. And the Halloumi a little over priced for what you got.
-
Yazmina Wallace –
Delicious food, attentive service and fantastic atmosphere! I can't wait to return!
-
Meeki Dean –
All round great at Yamas!

-
Phil Toker –
Wonderful place with such friendly staff and a lovely meal! I am a big eater but we couldn't finish the shared platter meal. We are looking forward to going again :)
-
Rachael King –
We ate from the lunchtime mezze menu and it was great value, the food was well cooked and tasty, and the service was good. Portions were generous and 6 mezze between two with pitta was just about right for us. Chorizo and spanakopita were two of our favourites.
-
julie bridgett –
Everything about the restaurant the food the staff was perfect at Yamas couldn't fault a thing, the staff were very friendly & attentive, the food was amazing, perfect end to a brilliant afternoon, will definitely book to go again
-
Annie Welland-owen –
The food was absolutely delicious at Yamas. There was a nice, relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Me and my husband went for the Tapas Special, and I literally can't believe how much food we got. We couldn't actually finish everything, which is unheard of for me! I wish we lived closer because it was lovely.
-
Richard Short –
Great atmosphere, value for money and tasty food.
-
Helen Fox –
Lovely food. Great atmosphere and service. We ordered a selection of tapas including vegetarian. The veg Moussaka and lamb tagine were among our favourites. Would recommend Yamas!
-
Liane Rose –
Excellent service. Waiters were very helpful with our menu and wine choices. Busy place. Good ambiance. Tasty food. Will re visit.
-
Phil Gillborn –
Great food at Yamas. We went to Greece last year and loved the food. So we wanted to try more over here. Stiffado was very tasty and meat fell apart. Vegetarian Mousaka was a lovely taste. Pitta bread was served warm and very fresh. We even had the Greek beer Mythos. Staff and Owner very friendly. Recommend highly and will be back!
-
Andy Morris –
Went last night for the first time. The food was good with a bit of a mix between Greek and Spanish - it works. We had a great night out, the restaurant was lively, overall a good value night out
-
Samantha Watt-porter –
Highly recommend!
The place was packed on a Tuesday evening in January- I think that says it all...
It pre warns you on the menu that service will be slower than what you would expect in a restaurant, but everything is cooked fresh and it really is worth the wait. I agree with this! It really is delicious.
The staff were attentive, friendly and you get the impression they sincerely enjoy their job.
Delish -
Mrs Susan Grimshaw –
Not been to Yammas before but would recommend it, especially if you like taking your holidays in Greece. The food is just a little reminder of those lovely meals looking at the blue sea from a beachside tavern. Pleasant, helpful staff.
-
David Cobbin –
We had a very relaxed and delicious meal. The waitresses were extremely attentive without being fussy. One of our party needed to avoid certain foods and the waitresses both took time to point out allergy information and fetch alternative dishes. A wonderful night out.
-
Lorraine Whiting –
Good food good staff lovely owner
-
Helen Ashby –
We were delighted with the meal last night. As organizer of a big party I found the whole experience stress free. The staff were delightful and flexible. Coped with last minute number changes. We felt welcomed and looked after. The idea of having a cash bar made paying the bill very simple, as people leave at different times and the cost was the same per head. Thank you, will definitely book again!
-
Richard Short –
Very good value for money, tasty food and great service despite being busy!
-
Cheryl Rowe –
Excellent as always!
-
Tracey Unsworth –
Gorgeous food at Yamas. We ordered the lunchtime 3 meze dishes for £6.95. There was almost enough for three people once we'd added bread and olives! Lovely friendly service, great atmosphere. Beware though - £5.95 for a 500ml bottle of beer pushes the price up. We had one each. We'll share it next time!
-
Bethan Ashmore –
Food was excellent at Yamas, we will definitely come back here to eat again in the future and we'll recommend it to all our friends and family. We ate here after hearing great reviews and we were not disappointed with the food.
The only feedback we would give is that the service could have been a bit more friendly and the waiting staff could have been a bit more attentive. We had to call them over a few times when we wanted something. We wouldn't let that put us off visiting in future though. Great meal, thoroughly enjoyed the food. -
Lauren Burns –
Great portion sizes, and good value meat dishes.
-
Heather Johnson –
Excellent! Although we went early evening on a Sunday and restaurant was fairly quiet - service was great and food and wine were lovely. Would definitely recommend!
-
Judy Allen –
Very good food and service, just slightly cramped which made my table a little to close to the next couple's for my liking.
-
Julie Baxter –

A very enjoyable evening with colleagues from work (Group of 12). The food and service was excellent.
-
Gemma Dracup –
The booking was easy, service fantastic and friendly, and the food faultless. The starters were a little on the expensive side for what you got, but the overall experience was definitely one I would repeat.
-
Oran Willson –
Really enjoyed my meal at Yamas this weekend! The food was excellent and for the amount we had, very good value! The only slight drawback was the very loud birthday party group behind us made it hard to talk to each other during the meal, a little irritating. However, the service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome!
-
Chris Botschin –
Fantastic food and superb service. Would highly recommend the special meze!!
-
Steve Hughes –
Fantastic as always. Good to see some BBQd dishes added to the menu, and fantastic wines

Wendy Brown –
First class food and service well worth a visit

Lesley Evans –
Everything was brilliant
-
Amy Stamper –
Absolutely fantastic experience at Yamas restaurant. After multiple recommendations from colleagues and friends, my expectations were high but my first visit to this Nottingham hot spot did not disappoint!
We dined as a group of 6 on a busy Saturday night - be advised that you really do have to book in advance (think a week or two before, or more if it's a large group or special occasion!) We were there for a good few hours and it seems everyone else had pre-booked. The atmosphere was buzzing and lively but not hectic. Our server was also lovely, great at recommending dishes and very attentive.
I'd particularly recommend the baklava desserts, and the beetroot salad, but honestly we ate most of the menu and it was all delicious. Will 100% return, very soon! -
Steve Wheatcroft –
We had a marvelous night! We ordered the special Mezes and spent the evening working our way through each delicious course. The wine was very good and the service was exemplary.
-
Garry Hemming –
Had set the Valentine's meal at Yamas. Four course Meze. Food and service was great. Good value too!
-
Richard Short –
Excellent value at Yamas, vibrant place with great food at a good price!
-
Mel Case –
Glad we pre-booked as people were queuing for a table at 730. Seated straightaway upstairs, there was a large group n few other tables in a small room which felt very cramped and noisy. Couldn't fault the service at all, very efficient and polite staff, although we struggled to understand a couple of the food explanations.
Our Meze was really tasty and delicious food but we felt the courses were rushed. As did we when the waitress poured the remainder of our wine for us. We were quite capable of doing that thanks!
Overall good service and food and worth the money. We will defo go back! -
Angela Passam –
We had a very relaxed family get-together. Plenty of food on the set menu and a warm welcome from the staff.

Lovely meal at Yamas!
-
Ruth Forrest –
The food at Yamas was fantastic but we were seated in an upstairs room with a very large, and very loud party which made it difficult to hear even the person we were sat next to. Again because of this party the service was mainly focused on them and we were forgotten a little, but the staff were generally polite and friendly.
-
Steve Hughes –
Impressive lunch meal at Yamas - really tasty food, a wide selection.
The wine list has some interesting on it from around the med.
Perfect for lunch. -
Steve Hughes –
By far the best lunch deal in town. Portions are enormous, food very tasty, and a great wine list. Service can be a bit slow but that's Yamas being a victim of their own success.
-
Ruth Brasier –
I have visited several times to Yamas - this is very good restaurant, the service and food are excellent, the ambiance is just right and it is excellent value would recommend to anyone in Nottingham, give it a try you won't be sorry.

We went on Saturday to Yamas restaurant for their 3 for £6.95 offer. We were seated at upstairs at the back, near the kitchen and still had to wait over half an hour for our food. When it all came out, some was pretty good, others not so much.

Went for the lunch offer of three tapas for £6.95. We added extras, flatbread and olives, as we thought it wouldn't be enough. How wrong we were! Loved the whitebaid, and the rice in vine leaves. Party in my mouth.
They were very attentive and I'll be heading back to Yamas soon. Thank you! -

Lucy Corcoran –
Excellent meal, we chose olives to start of which there were plenty followed by the meat platter to share with Greek salad. All cooked lovely and very tasty, more than enough for 2 people. The restaurant was busy as it was a Friday evening, so pleased we booked in advance.

We visited Yamas for the first time with my sister & sister in law (who have been before & highly recommended it). The food was delicious - fresh & high quality, the staff were attentive (at the right times), and nothing was any trouble. My husband said the price was a little on the expensive side but you do get what you pay for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We ate from the christmas mezze menu which was tasty and good value. However there was maybe more food than we needed but no complaints really. Service was excellent, very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend Yamas for groups of friends wanting to share tasty food in a relaxing atmosphere.

Overall an excellent restaurant, great food, exceptional value, excellent service, the only drawback was that we were out for our anniversary, and the ambience didn't really suit the occasion. The restaurant was very full (great), but the room was very noisy. Wouldn't be an issue for another type of occasion.

One of my favourite restaurants in Nottingham. The food is really tasty - would highly recommend gigantes (giant beans in rich sauce), stiffado (slow cooked beef stew) and the salmon. Also the Greek yoghurt with nuts and honey dessert is really nice. Staff and waiting style are second to none and the format of the dining experience is really casual and fun with it being tapas style. Superb. If I had to make a small criticism it would be that the food portion sizes have dropped a tiny bit since it first opened.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Yamas last Friday and we will definately be going back. The only slight niggle was a very loud group of ladies on a hen night who got louder and shriller by the minute. Forgetting the ladies the food was awesome, the service was spot on and we loved it!!

Being a Greek native myself, I felt nostalgic this whole week and was really craving some greek food. I have been to Yamas a few times and have not been disappointed! The service is great, the waiters and the owner are warm people who genuinely seem to like one another and have a good dynamic between them, and the food is always great. I would recommend the vegetarian or meat platters, which are great for sharing! I really did get a taste of home again, which is exactly what I was looking for!

Jonathan Roe –
Yamas is an amazing little restaurant!
The food was fantastic, the restaurant had a great feel about it and the service was amazing!
I gave the toilets a 6 purely because we didn't use them so I couldn't comment.
The only slight negative was purely down to my own ordering choice. I got two very protein full dishes in the whitebait and meatballs and it was a little stodgy (I wish I had the meatballs and maybe a salad) but the food itself was faultless.
I reccomend it and will definitely be back myself! -
Richard Short –
A very good first trip to Yamas. Service was very good, especially with the restaurant being full. Maybe a little bit too noisy, but some big groups celebrating various things.
We shall certainly be back. -
Peter Jameson –
Yamas had been recommended to us by family and I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed. The selection of dishes was excellent and the quality was superb. The staff couldn't do enough, they were attentive but not pushy and I am sure that we could have stayed there all night if we wanted. We will definitely recommend them and visit again if we are ever in Nottingham.

A really lovely place to eat with a variety of quality dishes to choose from. We had the Moussaka which was delicious, plus 3 other dishes and t was great value. Staff were very attentive and welcoming.

Amy Wilson –
Very nice evening, well cooked traditionally greek food - really tasty. The only downfall for us was the tables for two were right next to the bar and open fire exit which affected the ambience a little. Otherwise a great evening and I'd definately visit again.

I love this restaurant. I took my partner there as I was hoping for a reminder of the food I have enjoyed on Greek holiday’s. The concept of this food being more refined and served in tapas style suits me down to the ground. We enjoyed a tremendous salmon dish (beautiful flaky salmon), a stiffado (a warming Greek slow roasted lamb stew), dips and olives, prawns and large beans in a rich tomato sauce. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant and we had an incredible time there.

We say…
Authentic Mediterranean oasis in the heart of the city centre.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city streets and immerse yourself in an authentic Greek dining experience by feasting on Mediterranean meze and tapas in the hugely atmospheric, family-run Yamas.
Translating to ‘cheers’ in Greek, a warm welcome is guaranteed in this cheerful restaurant tucked away on Thurland Street in Nottingham city centre
Roughly translated, meze means “snack", the idea being to order a selection of dishes to share.
The main tapas menu features a host of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes designed for sharing, such as traditional barbequed Souvlaki; tender pieces of slow-marinated meat that simply melt on the tongue; or a traditional Moussaka packed with flavoursome lamb and hearty vegetables.
All of these can be accompanied with an array of traditional homemade dips, from refreshing tzatziki to a tabbouleh bursting with the flavours of finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, garlic, bulgur, olive oil and lemon juice. It goes without saying that there’s enough aioli for everyone!
True to their ever-accommodating nature, there are plenty of options on the Yamas menu to suit both gluten-free and vegan diets.
For a generous meal that’s rich in Greek atmosphere, book your table at Yamas today.
