Yamas Deli — Restaurant in Scotland

Discovering Yamas Deli is like reliving your first love in your school years.

As soon as you have a bite, you are hooked forever and you will find yourself reminiscing on some Yamas Deli nostalgia whilst sipping a pint on a sunny afternoon, wishing you were living those moments again.

I've ordered from this place more than 50 times in the last 8 months, I am not joking, I've tried every single item in the menu really and there is nothing to go wrong on, this place has it all, its a perfect 10, the ferrari/supermodel of takeaways:

Cheap affordable prices; Big and some MASSIVE portions even on the cheaper items; Everything tastes FRESH and AUTHENTIC; They never refuse a reasonable request, chilli sauce or replacing the bread with extra meat, NO PROBLEM FOR YAMAS! The service is insanely consistent, you know you are getting gold every time you order.

I heavily recommend any of the salads, featuring fresh kalamata olives and dressings OR the Lamb Box, with a delightful combination of salad, juicy lamb meat and fresh chips/bread.

If Yamas Deli was a woman, I'd ask her to marry...

As it was such a lovely, warm, spring day in Dumfries today, we headed down Bank Street from the Makers' Market, to order 2 medium mixed pita gyros (chicken and pork).

Great portion size, beautifully prepared and cooked with all the authentic ingredients and flavours that we have grown to love. It was such a nice day that we sat at a table outside the takeaway to enjoy our lunch.

Not quite as cheap as our usual lunchtime spots in Crete (under 3 euros) but still a treat we thoroughly enjoyed 😋 - and cheaper than a flight...

We came across Yamas Deli purely by accident, looking for some healthy/ quick dinner on a Friday night, having just arrived for a weeks holiday in SW Scotland & what an absolute treat! We placed an order for a chicken and a halloumi gyros and waited for about 10 minutes before tucking into delicious, freshly made gyros, made with chips, salad and tzatziki wrapped up into a gorgeous warmed flatbread. We sat and ate our food at the counter and chatted with Nick the founder, whose passion about the importance of cooking from fresh and sourcing greek ingredients where possible was really inspiring. Fantastic to support a young entrepreneur building a great business in Dumfries. Nick, the 2 x liverpool supporting ladies from Manchester will definitely be back before the...
