We are/were regulars to Yamas after going the Cyprus many times and wanting to enjoy the Greek food back home too. The food its-self is fantastic and cannot not say anything bad about it but… the prices are well over the top. We have been going for years now and sent many people there to taste the food but recently a huge increase in costs have made once an enjoyable meal, now too much compared to other restaurants with larger plates and just as tasty food for much less.

I have also deducted stars from my review due to the grumpy and arrogant staff (not all of them). Mainly it’s the women who have such an attitude for some reason! We last went as 3 couples and one of us were not sure what came with the dish so she asked, only to be met with a sharp and sarcastic answer. After ordering, she then came with the drinks and was slamming them to the table in a huff and didn’t even try to match who’s drunk was for who. After the meal we wanted to workout the bill into what each couple had which always takes a few extra minutes. The lady came over 3 times within a few moments of us getting the bill and each time we asked her to give us abit more time, she would go off in a huff and eyes rolled but then talking to her other waitress in their language while blatantly looking over at us. Also watch out for the 10% service charge they work into the price…it’s not bloody America and they definitely...

I booked this for 4 of us with a months notice to the owner! Upon entering the restaurant we were told " you are upstairs " no welcome from the owner/manager! Once upstairs we looked across to two long tables set up for 2 parties. Within 20 minutes of us sitting down they arrived - 20 under 25s on one side and 12 under 30s on the other table. The noise level as they were all competing with each other was deafening! I felt even more sorry for a couple who had come out for a romantic meal who couldn't even talk to each other above the noise. The food once it arrived came out at a quick rate of knots, it wasn't exactly fantastic as Id been told to expect, it was mediocre. We had ordered a separate side order which never arrived and the waitress upon giving us our bill said she had knocked off the side order as a gesture of good will due to the volume of noise we had had to put up with. I thanked her but said wed never had it so no gesture at all! She just shrugged at me! All in all with a very tired looking restaurant , poor food and extremely poor thought process ( as several tables downstairs we could of sat at and actually enjoyed our conversation ) I will not be recommending this nor ever...
