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!

We were seated at a lovely table outside but it got so hot and we were often forgotten about. Food was good and we enjoyed the Mothers Day feed me special. For the money it was ok value but not huge value for money

The food was phenomenal, the view was excellent. It was a busy day so the noise level from here and every other restaurant in the vicinity made it a little difficult to hear everyone talking, but that was not the one distinguishable problem I have. Biggest gripe is that they don't offer itemised payments or specific breakdowns of the bill & 10% extra on top because it was a weekend. The option to break down and split equally 4 ways still is a kick in the gut for people that ordered specific things. Yes we had to have on person pay the whole bill then we work out how to pay them back, but a little courtesy to allow itemised payments would have been useful.

The welcome was warm, the food was excellent, the drinks ---prosecco, Greek beer ---were excellent and moderately priced, and it is a quiet but bustling, well lit and comfortable restaurant in a brilliant location. The service after we had eaten was a little slow but this was not a major issue. A most pleasant experience and terrific food.

Considering the location, Yassas offers fantastic value for money. Went there several years ago and then again this year (2025) and both times left very satisfied. Large meals for very reasonable prices. Friendly efficient service.
