    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.

    The food was excellent. The chicken and lamb and the Fattoush salad were all absolutely delicious. They were able to cater for dietaries well. We sat at the hightop tables, but the staff left the door open all night so it was very cold. They also left an unsually big break between entrees and mains, and then rushed us at the end because of their next sitting. They could have managed that a little less abruptly. My only other comment too is that there is no toilet in the restaurant, and you have to exit the building and go through a loading bay to use the facilities, which takes away from the experience a little. Otherwise very good.
