Im a senior citizen who suffers from heart failure to protect my heart I have to take dietetics which means tablets to remove water from my body. Unfortunately this means that I get caught short. I was standing outside this restaurant when I had a situation so I popped in hoping to use a toilet in an emergency. There was no one there to ask and as I said it was an emergency. Having used the facilities for which I was very grateful I looked at the menu and decided to go to my car and suggest to my mother we should have lunch there. Suddenly an employee from yannis came aggressively to my vehicle and started on me explaining that their toilet wasn't a public convenience. I apologised and informed him that I suffer from heart failure and it was an emergency this fell on dead ears. At which point I decided to leave the car park and that we would find somewhere else to have lunch. So if you suffer from heart failure or have elderly family this maybe an establishment to avoid.we would not be...
Read moreI’ve recently moved to the Chippenham area from south London and one of the worries I had was sacrificing all the great intercontinental cuisine on offer in the metrop. in favour of the country life. Well I needn’t have worried! Some of my favourite spots in South London are Caribbean and none of them are better than Yanni’s. The jerk chicken is delightful, juicy and full of flavor, accompanied by a couple of really zingy sauces. However, it was the curry goat that won it for me. The meat was so tender, the sauce deep, rich and warming with just the right amount of heat. And our little girl could not get enough of the rice and peas! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and it’s in a great location on the Borough Parade: perfect for a couple of quick pints in town before heading to Yanni’s for a big Caribbean dinner. We only popped in for a quick lunch mid shop, but we will be back for a full slap...
Read moreWent during lunch time mid week as had heard positive reviews of Yanni's. It was very quiet with a lovely and colourful interior. Our waiter was accommodating and explained what items were not available right away to us (a bit of a shame but not much can be done about this).
Had the BBQ wings for starter which were good, BBQ sauce was delicious and flavourful. Moving onto mains, I had jerk pork with rice & peas which was decent. I didn't personally love the pork but it was fine, once again, the sauce was flavourful. My company had the curried goat which was lovely, the meat was so tender and juicy and flavourful. We shared a mac & cheese which we both enjoyed thoroughly. To finish, I had banana bread which was absolutely scrumptious and both my company and I enjoyed.
Overall, a good dining experience with very good options. A brilliant option if looking to try something new. Very...
