I have always loved Yassas, but there are a couple of things starting to creep in that I haven't been happy with the last time we have come to visit. Firstly I ordered the lamb kofta which was in effect two small lamb rissoles on some mini pita bread and some sauce and it was advertised as an entree but priced like many of the mains. It was delicious but overpriced in my opinion for the portion size. Secondly the last time we ate there the lamb was dry and this time the galatoboureko was not very tasty. it was dry and nice enough but usually this is a very special sweet with syrup and lots of creamy flavour and it just wasn't that good. Also I felt one waiter was unnecessarily intrusive in trying to clear our table repeatedly, interrupting our conversation, it felt very pressured and we were not overstaying our alloted time for a booking. I am disappointed because dining is as much an experienc as it is the food and this time it was average on both accounts

Ordered the grilled calamari, came with chips & minimal salad, price far outweighed meal.

The food was beautiful and so were the vibes. The music being a Mamma Mia night was not enough, I think it definitely needed a lot more to claim it being a Mamma Mia night.

When I booked online I requested a table inside, but was allocated a table on the balcony. There were only two of us, but our table only had one chair, so we had to wait for one to be brought over. Our table was right next to a very rowdy group so we requested a table change and were able to move inside.

We had a table on the balcony, overlooking the Promenade and river. It was so beautiful. We shared dips, fritters and the amazing fries with fetta and oregano, and it was more than enough for two. We had wine and great food and made it to our 2pm theatre booking in good time. Had the nest time!

We were initially seated in a tight, noisy area, but after asking to move outside, the experience improved a lot. The starters were tasty, but the standout was the traditional tapsi – absolutely spot on. The chips and mixed gyros were also delicious, with generous portions. Very happy overall!
