    We had a fabulous dinner at Yakamoz and everything we ate was excellent. The ambience with the wood fired oven is lovely. We ate enzyme, pita bread warm from the oven, chicken and lamb shush, eggplant, octopus and horiatiki salad. It was all excellent. Highly recommended.

    First visit to this busy and popular restaurant. Despite having booked felt slightly overlooked while the owners greeted friends and regulars. We were offered a choice of tables without it being explained that one area was extremely noisy due to families with young children. We felt sorry for the staff having to deal with the mess created by unsupervised children. The food was excellent and service during the meal very professional, which is why we shall probably go again. We over ordered, portions were very generous, but takeaway boxes were provided. Based on this experience, I would say this is a restaurant for a meal with groups of friends or family, rather than a romantic dinner for two.
