We went here for my daughter's birthday and it was fantastic. We shared the meat and cheese board. I think we ordered 10 tapas for our table of 5- chicken, beef, lamb, salmon and assorted veg. Everything was delicious. The hummus was some of the best I have ever had. Even our guest who had never had Greek food was happy with everything and was going to recommend it to all of her local friends. Service was great too!

Really good value and very tasty Greek / Spanish (I've never had patatas bravas or chorizo in Greece...) cuisine located in the heart of Nottingham. We went for the 3 tapas for £7.95 lunch and it was all excellent, especially the stifado, the corguette, the lamb leaf thing and the olives. Olives are definitely worth an extra £1.50. Give it a whirl!

Haha, the ratings make it hard. I really liked this small and humble restaurant. It's warm, friendly, clean and very enjoyable. I visited here some months before but forgot to leave a nice review until I was craving mediterranean food. Mmmm :) This store is A-OK! for the job. But I don't want to give it a 3 star cause that looks bad. 4 Star says "Yay, I'm a fan." But I'm not really a fan either. I just think it's delicious and courteous enough to go when you're in the mood for such food. The dishes are delicious. I don't think you will be disappointed.

When I searched to find Yamas I was amazed it didn't have 100% star rating. This restaurant is by far the most traditional and welcoming environment and humble to boot. The staff are courteous going above and beyond to ensure you have a great night. The food is faultless. It's fresh, authentic and good value. My husband had never heard of Yamas when we met and I felt rather smug taking him and having him agree that it was brilliant. We've since returned on numerous occasions...literally any excuse to go as the food is devine. My personal favourite is the lamb tagine. I won't spoil the surprise and ruin how brilliant it is by trying to explain. However if you go I highly recommend you order it. They also have tons of veggie options too. Which are all delicious. I sadly cannot say what the desserts are like. I've never been able to have one as always full from the food and the generous portions you are given. I will definitely go again and I would urge anyone to try it that hasn't already.

A Little Gem Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior inside there is a little gem. This is a family run Meze & Tapas restaurant which reminds me of places in the Greek Islands,Cyprus and Crete. This is firstly done by the Owner and Staff who are friendly and efficient whilst creating a relaxed atmosphere making the whole experience that much more enjoyable. The second is the food which is superb and freshly prepared and a menu that allows you to have as much or little as takes your fancy. Although you may have to wait a little for your food as we did this is no hardship due to the atmosphere that has been created and a good bottle of wine. I would recommend Yamas without hesitation and will certainly be returning.

Small friendly restaurant. We booked this after seeing it on Trip Advisor, whereas TA can be misleading and hyped by the business owner, the good reviews must have been genuine. We found the food and atmosphere excellent and would recommend this to friends. We had the meze and was lovely especially the stifado.
