This is a lovely place to have a relaxed lunch we visit every three months or so. Service is a little slow but I think this is because the food is freshly cooked to order We usually have the tapas but for a change I had the chicken Gyro bowl and my friend had the salad. I couldn’t eat all of mine bit was lovely and I hated leaving some

A real shame how much this place has changed for the worst. I used to love it, but greed has crept in. The food is average and the service is perfunctory, so don't expect anything above and beyond. Certainly don't expect that the bread you need to eat your taramasalata comes with the dish, as that's another £4 for a few pieces. The main course, under seasoned at best, I could have produced myself with minimal skill and 2 pepper pots on the table don't really help. Also, don't expect that you average meal will cost you for just the meal. Look out for the service charge, no matter how few people eat, at 10%. No restaurants, except the best, do that. So really, if you fancy average Turkish food, with average service, over charged and with a sneaky service charge that really doesn't deserve the price, this is the place you should go.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service great, but most important of all was how accommodating the staff were of an allergy in the party, making every one of us feel welcome. Thanks again!

Yamas Meze & Tapas restaurant is outstanding! The staff were incredibly helpful in guiding us through their menu on our first visit. The food surpassed expectations; the Chicken souvlaki, Kleftico, and Falafel were all delightful choices. Highly recommended!

Excellent Mediterranean food! We had the sharing menu to try a bit of everything, and nothing really disappointed us (if not maybe some of the dips). Friendly staff, and always busy so recommend booking.. and great to see their ethical commitments for the environment

First time visiting and my friend and I had the tapas lunch menu. There's lots to choose from and I appreciate the gluten free options that are just as tasty (also vegan). The atmosphere is warm and inviting and so are the lovely staff. Our meal was piping hot, freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The toilets are spotless but are downstairs. We will definitely be returning.

The food was exceptional!!! Today was my fist time at the restaurant and I am already looking forward to the next ones. There are plenty of options for vegetarians/vegans 😍 The music was a bit loud making it hard to talk to people on the other side of the table without shouting but besides that the experience was perfect. Thanks.

I brought my new girlfriend here a few years ago and we think this was our first food date, so we were out messing about with all the fun Notts has to offer and remembered this place - especially as it caters well for her gluten intolerance and our vegetarian preference. How we have not been back sooner actually disappoints me. The food is outstanding. We had to wait (come back) for a ta me which is testament to how busy it was even post 8pm but we were looked after, and there aren't too many places that have such a fabulous wine menu that includes Greek and Cypriot wines we like. Excellent dips including beetroot and aubergine not just (the fab) houmus and tazatziki (which was on steroids.. wow). Extra GF bread when requested (couldn't leave any of those dips) Excellent mains of roasted veg, beans, stuffed mushrooms (omg the mushrooms) and Bulgar wheat. We are 100% coming back here sooner, and thank you also for getting our relationship off to the best start 3 years ago. Places like this need to be recognised against some of the commercial chains saturated in the city but I feel like they don't really care too much as they are doing so well still. Bravo, thank you, and see you soon!

In Nottingham for Xmas with relatives and was taken there for lunch on 23rd December and this place was busy. The owner is charming, and despite the fact that our party hadn't reserved made space for us, but also made it clear there was a time limit on our table. Food was reasonable but one of my meze just didn't taste right to me which I think was more to do with me than the cooking. That apart I thought this was a lovely place and the prices are decent I'd definitely advise you to visit if you're in the area.

21 of us went to Yamas for our work Christmas party and we had the best time. The staff said it was the best food we have had for a Christmas party, we went for the set menu meze and I couldn’t fault any of the dishes, there was also so much food! In our party we had one vegetarian and someone with gluten intolerance and they catered for them really well. The lady who was gluten intolerant said normally gluten free food isn’t that great but this was the best she had. Thank so much for all the staff at Yamas for making sure we had a great time and to the owner who took the time to come and meet us on what was a very busy night for them.

We arrived a little earlier than our booked time and was seated straight away, the restaurant was busy but we didn’t have to wait long for our order to be taken. We ordered the Meze menu, the food was delicious & plentiful, the staff bringing our food explained what each of the individual dishes were, unfortunately our eyes were bigger than our belly so we brought 3 of the dishes home with us, which were even tastier the day after! We will look forward to eating here again.

Lunch is not expensive. We came here for the first time after our first choice restaurant was too full. We walked right in without a reservation, which was great for a Saturday afternoon. Very busy and some waiters are nicer than others. The food took a while (a group of people followed us and got the food faster, but I think they were relatives or friends). Delicious halloumi chips, mashed potatoes and whitebait. There were only small portions of shrimp (two shrimp each), the hummus was drier than regular hummus, and I didn't like the orzo lasagna, but my other half loved it. Pita bread is just the standard bread you buy in the store. I would go back but maybe try the gyro.

The staff were very attentive, I wish the kleftico was as good!! Reheated barely hot lamb shank, not at all traditional, no flavour, no liquid, no herbs, no potatoes or vegetables in the dish. The rosemary potatoes which were a separate order I suspect were frozen. I thought kleftico was a slow cooked dish incorporating the veg etc. I didn’t comment on the evening as I was on a family evening out and didn’t want to spoil the atmosphere.

Been a good while since we have dined here , found it very busy even though it was an early booking. Food was very tasty and about the right size portions for us. Atmosphere was very loud. Service was at times good , but found they were very keen to clear the plates without asking if we had finished. Please be aware there is a service charge added to the bill (optional payment). On the whole a good (but not great) experience, I don't think we will be returning in the near future.

This was my first visit to Yamas…it was fantastic. As we were shown to our table, the place was buzzing with atmosphere and happy diners. It was like being on holiday in a popular resort restaurant. We chose the full Meze at £23.95 pp. One course after another, beautifully presented, full of flavour and so much food for three people. It was extraordinary. Each dish was presented at the right time not to overwhelm. In the end, we took home most of the chicken souvlaki and the potatoes. The staff were very friendly, courteous, and attentive making sure we were enjoying our food. It was also, great value for money. So many restaurants of late, are expensive but, the food isn’t always up to standard, and it can be lacking in atmosphere. This was one of the best food experiences I have ever had and, I’ll definitely be back. We left uplifted and stuffed!! Well done the family team at Yamas. Xx

Food served on small cold plates. Meal started with a salad which was very plain served with dried pitta bread. Very small quantity served for main dishes. 2 tiny portions of cheese cake. Was not worth the money.
