Yassou Greek Kitchen in Erewash

Really nice little restaurant, food was very good and portion sizes where great for making it into a tapas style meal which gave you the chance to try quiet a few of the dishes, table service was great with a shout out to Henry who was very informative of which dishes he would recommend and doing check backs with us, A restaurant we will be coming back to in the future.

We had our first visit to Yassou tonight, and we received a lovely welcome from all the staff. We ordered a mixture of hot and cold meze and glasses of wine which all arrived timely and presented so exquisitely, tasted amazing and was of an impeccable standard, which took us back to our many holidays in Greece. We were made so welcome and the staff were so friendly, we felt like we’d been friends for years. We even shared holiday experiences we’d had and shared our experiences which was so lovely to have a normal down to earth chat and have a few laughs too! Dessert was also amazing and Elaine loved the Baklava which she craves from her trips to Greece. Thank you for a lovely evening, one we will definitely be repeating many times in the future. 10 out of 10!

Absolutely amazing food,great service and good atmosphere! First time I've been and not disappointed! Thank you.

We were here last night and the meal & service were both 10/10. We went for the meze evening and we couldn't criticise one thing. The staff were above and beyond friendly. They were so lovely. The selection of dishes we had were so tasty & varied and it was finished off with a delicious chocolate baklava and a shot of Ouzo. We all agreed that it was a top night, a top restaurant and we will definitely be coming back for more ❤️

Amazing food and amazing service. Highly recommend

Little Eaton Gem. Lovely food and great service. What more can you say. Recommended! Been a few times with the wife and friends.

Great authentic food, the staff were so friendly and helpful as it was our first visit, the lady took her time to explain how many plates she would recommend and everything was delicious. Its not a large restaurant so I you would definitely need to pre-book as it always looks very busy.

Really enjoyed our food and the whole evening, great choices for veggies. The greek yoghurt dessert was a great finish!

We live in Holbrook so having this on our doorstep is wonderful. We have eaten here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner with our friends. The menu offers lots of choice and of course being Greek there’s plenty for vegetarians. It’s s small space and it gets very noisy. On our last visit with our two friends I simply handed back the menu, told one of the lovely staff that my wife was a vegetarian and we were all hungry…we ordered drinks and just sat there and enjoyed everything chosen for us as it came to the table. I paid £155, and we all left full to bursting with delicious food. I’ve rebooked.

Great little Greek place you need to try. Lovely staff and lovely food. I’ll be going again. I have the chicken souvlaki with the cheese balls on the side.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Delicious hearty food. Friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic experience. We visited on a mezza night at £32.50 pp. first time visiting and were made to feel so welcome by Dave and his small team. The building is small but beautiful and well decorated. All 3 courses were clearly home made and tasted wonderful. Felt so full by the end that we couldn’t attempt a pudding even though they looked so tempting. Will definitely be visiting again.

Fab place we were recommended ti try. Loved the decor and the food was gorgeous. Meze/tapas style which was ideal for 3 of us. We ended up ordering too much food but it was so delicious we managed to eat it all. Would definitely return.

Food is amazing 2nd time going there. Great service and atmosphere

Loved it..very busy but staff were lovely and welcoming..very different experience..Definitely returning

Excellent service, food very good slightly noisy room, but great place to visit at a reasonable price.

Great food and relaxed atmosphere could not fault anything about this place. The staff were really friendly and helpful too.

Visited here with my husband for the first time. We'd booked in advance, but unfortunately our table wasn't ready when we arrived and we had to wait around 10/15 mins. The staff were very apologetic for the wait. The food was fantastic and the place had a great atmosphere.

Good menu and friendly service.

Fabulous fresh food. Lovely place

One of the Best Greek restaurants I've been to outside of Greece. The food is amazing.

So we went for a meal last night ...9 of us ..the service was horrible ,they was rushing us to go ..the girl who served us was so rude ..she came to our table and said whats happening are u ready to pay ,the girls were pulling faces at eachother ..we was all appalled really disgusting ..we will never return 👎👎👎

First visit definitely be back

Amazing Authentic Food, Friendly Staff. No complaints. Looking forward to going back.

First time at Yassou this week and wasn't disappointed! Cosy restaurant with the most delicious food! Absolutely stuffed by the time I left! Gorgeous Greek foods - pittas and dips, moussaka, halloumi fries, skewers etc. Option for Vegetarians too. Would highly recommend but you will need to book in advance!

Having lived in Greece for many years this place was a fantastic surprise - just like being in a real Greek taverna. Fabulous, crowded atmosphere; superb, fresh food; polite and friendly staff. And proper Greek dishes - spanakopita, tirokeftedes etc. We are vegetarian and there was still a huge choice available. Highly recommend!

This Greek restaurant is a real hidden gem! The food was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The gluten free options were superb; easily the best gluten free pitta I have eaten. There are also plenty of vegetarian options. The server was very knowledgeable when it came to their menu and allergens. The only minor thing I would improve is allergen labelling on the menu. Pitta breads are labelled as gluten free, but what it means is that there is a gluten free option. For clarity I would've liked to see this labelled as 'Gluten free option' rather than GF. This was a none-issue however thanks to the attentive server.

Lovely place, great food and fantastic service.

First time didn't know what to expect. At first glance very small and tightly packed, but surprisingly plenty of room. Small things come in little packages, so someone once said😁. Attentive staff although did forget item, but soon rectified. Atmosphere brilliant. Food excellent choice for meat eaters something for everyone but if veggie slightly less but very nice none the less. Desserts fantastic, somewhat pricey but you can't put a price on family gatherings, atmosphere and nice food. Having said that will go again, even just to have another dessert, gorgeous 👍No parking but plenty in streets outside.

This was my first visit and it is a small intimate venue. The menu has choices for every taste vegan and ge included. The food is cooked to order so don't expect everyone's plate to come out at the same time but it is delicious without it being too spicy. Well with a visit.

Just had the most amazing experience at Yassou. I went for my 40th Birthday with my husband, 13 year old and 7 year old. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, explaining everything regards the ordering process and how the food comes out. With the lovely relaxed atmosphere and the delicious food it’s a winner. I have to say it’s my new favourite place to go for either just a meal or a family occasion. If you want something special definitely give this lovely little place a go.

Brilliant from start to finish, we couldn’t of asked for better service, the staff were amazing, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so relaxed, even our 13 year had a smile on his face! We will be definitely going back, thank you helping to make my wife’s 40th such a special occasion - if you’ve not been you’re missing out!

What a shame. Special was not as described and quickly spotted by the staff…came with slices of carrot and cucumber with some olives…..a Greek salad! Feta cheese was missing leaving some shredded lamb on I suspect a 2 min microwave bag of rice. Not a huge issue as the rest of the food was,as always, great. It improved still when the staff said they wouldn’t be charging for my dish and had themselves recognised it was nothing close to a Greek salad so took the decision to remove the special from the menu. We were offered the dessert menu and told they wanted to give me a dessert. The kids had one each and I asked for the bill. Based on what was said, I expected the meal removed and no charge for one dessert. I was charged over half for the meal ….’as I had eaten some lamb’ and charged for both desserts. This was not what I was told. The evening ended with us watching as the chef came to the bar area in full view and we watched and listened while the staff described to him what a Greek salad was!!! I’m afraid tonight that the only thing Greek about Yassou was the CD soundtrack in the background. Unlike Arnold I’m not sure I’ll be back.

First time here. Daughter wanted to go for her birthday. What a lovely place. Really good atmosphere. Great menu, friendly staff. Can honestly say the Chicken Souvlaki was the best I've ever had. Highly recommended 👌

what a lovely little gem Yassou is, well presented delicious food, great service by really attentive helpful staff, a most enjoyable experience.

Lovely food, service was great and very helpful. Great atmosphere and we felt very welcome

Delicious as always. Very friendly service and a great vibe.

We only found Yassou’s by chance and what a find it is. I visited Greece for the first time last year, and some of the local restaurants were amazing and I have to say that Yassou’s captures Greece brilliantly. The restaurant is only small so book early. Don’t let the size put you off, it fills quickly and the atmosphere builds with it. We had a variety of dishes, and even the simple food like breads and hummus were amazing. If you like Greek food or simply want to try something different I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food, 😋 the service was definitely on point. The food was definitely cooked to order, I would say the food is very much tapas so be prepared to share.

Yassou was wonderful. It's been on our 'we must try there' list for far too long. For a special celebration we visited, you have to book well in advance to secure a spot, but it is really worth the wait. Service and staff - perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, served meze style, my husband and I shared everything so this suits us well, each plate comes when it is ready. We had the pittas and three dips, we select the beetroot and yogurt, spicy feta, and aubergine - they were all delicious. We had six meze dishes, all of them were fantastic. We will definitely visit again!

The food was faultless, really fresh and tasty. The staff were awesome. Nothing was an issue. They were very accommodating when i mentioned my partner had an eating disorder. I really can not find any negatives about this place. Well done, and thank you for a really great night out. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Loved the food and great service. Desserts were also so very tempting. We were there mid week and it was quite busy so would suggest you definitely need to book but well worth it.

This place is pretty small so book well in advance if there's a few of you. On arrival at 6pm we were shown to our table and it was already full. There were seven of us and it was recommended that we choose a number of dishes to share - everything is made fresh so it can't all be delivered simultaneously to a large party. We chose three starters and five mains and all dishes were great.

First time ever at Yassou having heard very good first hand reports about the restaurant. The 5 of us had several meze dishes and a couple of larger main course dishes. I'd recommend this if there are a 4 or more of you, so that you can sample multiple different dishes. I really cannot praise this restaurant highly enough, the food was all cooked and prepared to perfection. On top of that the service was friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere too. No wonder it's booked up well in advance! All in all a really enjoyable night out with my family and we can't wait to go back.

Fantastic food and service, staff were very welcoming and friendly and offered great advice regarding the menu. Great beer and atmosphere make sure you book in advance.

Amazing staff, brilliant food, great atmosphere. Visited as a group of 6 friends. Highly recommended. Need to book well in advance, definitely worth the wait.

Great vibe, busy and friendly, the food is delicious 😋 and plentiful. Just be aware it is served as a meze so the dishes come fast to the table so arrive hungry.

Food nice but overpriced plus food didnt come out together so chips cold by time main meal served and my meal brought 10 minutes before friends. Very noisy too. Ashame as nice little restaurant

What a wonderful experience!! Service, food and atmosphere 5 stars. The menu was clearly labelled with gluten free options and one member of staff who was also coeliac kindly let me know of recent updates to the menu which meant I could eat the calamari. What an absolute treat! The food was incredible and I felt reassured by the safety surrounding cross contamination as the waitress informed me that the gf pitta was toasted in a separate toaster without even needing to ask. Would highly recommend, especially for anyone with coeliac disease wanting a safe and tasty meal.

Amazing food, even better service. Great selection of gluten free food options. We will definitely be visiting again.

Great service and awesome Greek food

4 of us had a superb evg last night. The staff were so helpful about how the evg would progress as this was our first visit. They actually made sure we didn't over order.So all our various courses were delightful with no waste. The food was magnificent & drinks of a fine quality. We look forward to visiting again & will be recommending this venue to our friends. Richard Moulder

Great Food, atmosphere and staff. Highly Recommend!

We went here to celebrate two birthdays in the family. None of us had been here before. It is a lovely small restaurant with not a sea of tables. The waitress that took our order explained how the food would not all come out at once and that the idea was to share but that this was not mandatory. We then processed to order quite a lot of the list, and the waitress pointed out that we had probably ordered enough judging by the number of people. She was spot on. Trust the knowledgeable waiting staff on that one. As explained the food comes out as and when and we all shared. The food was really good, everything was hot, and the lamb was tender and delicious. The haloumi fries and the different hummus were lush. The idea of sharing with your family gives the whole evening a very different ambiance, one that I really like. We all agreed that Yassou is definitely worth a revisit, or several. We spent about £40pp, but we ordered a LOT. None of us were familiar with Little Eaton, and in the dark we couldn't see a dedicated car park, so we parked on the side of the road.

A very special place, we absolutely love Yassou. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is exceptional. We will be back again very soon.

OMG I have been trying to get a table since September. I had heard such glowing comments about this little gem. I was not disappointed, the food was incredible, made with lunch vevand worth the wait.

Food was lovely shame one of the starters came out after their main, yes we was told they came out when ready but not after your main. Was not impressed with the service charge that was added on and wasn’t mentioned and the waitress wasn’t very welcoming

Wow, what an amazing little place this is ! The food is superb, the Greek salad is the best I've ever had, loved the halloumi fries and the pitta and dips. We were a party of eight and we all loved it. It's also excellent for gluten free. It's got a good atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Can't wait to come again.

Brilliant place! First time visitors and it was sensational. The food was nothing short of sublime. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and it was a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic meal, table for 6, no issues. Top service, top food.

Everything we ordered was delicious, the chicken souvlaki was so soft it fell apart. Everything was full of flavour. Will definitely return

Sharing various plates with friends is just the job in this kitchen. Warm and friendly greeting on entering, quickly shown to our table (definitely need to book) and drinks quickly followed. Very good menu choice and plates are well presented and ample to share with excellent service from the staff.

Didn’t feel welcome. Manager seemed stressed and just intent on our table being available for the second sitting. Menu is limited and overpriced. No seafood which I was disappointed about. I had moussaka but it was made with beef not lamb so not very Greek! Served like a school dinner, no side salad just a very cheesy and oily slop. I make a fair better one at home sndeith plenty of aubergine. My meal came out 10 minutes before the others which is not acceptable for the main course. They had the gyros but their meals didn’t come out all together. As others have said, the restaurant is hot and lacks ventilation. Won’t return.

First visit! The restaurant was very busy and we had to wait a few minutes for our table to be ready but the staff got us drinks and menus to be looking at. The food was amazing, everything was delicious (leave room for dessert!) & the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back!

A lovely evening out with great food. Make sure you book well in advance as it is very popular.

Excellent food. Nice service. Very clean and friendly.

Lovley food and wine and a nice setting, The staff were friendly, we had the beef stafado and chicken gyros and it was really good. Propa little gem we would definitely recommend 👍🏼🇬🇷

Greeted by friendly staff and served throughout in a polished, happy manner. The food was wonderful, so good we have booked to come back and try some more next week! Served meze style, great to share and enjoy different dishes. Chicken souvlaki and meatballs excellent, sticky toffee pudding just marvellous 😀

What a hidden gem. Such a homely feel, with lovely staff and the food was amazing…will be going again very soon! ……….. …..

Excellent service superb staff and a blinding meal , restaurant was nice and unlike other uk Greek restaurants not oversized and overpowering.The menu had more than enough choice of authentic Greek dishes and a wide range of drinks available.Definitely recommend a visit to this Greek restaurant , we will be returning soon

Food was absolutely gorgeous, first time I’d been to a Greek restaurant. Just ordered loads and shared it as it came out, so much nicer than waiting for one plate of food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely coming again :)

Wonderful. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Food is delicious, staff are really lovely.

My first time dining here, with a friend who had been before and others new to this excellent restaurant also. I echo nearly every other review that highlights the most amazing food and friendly, cheerful service. It was a great evening and everything was perfect! Well done, Yassou team - and just don't ever disappear!!

Amazing all round - service is friendly, food is amazing and it’s all very reasonably priced. We were a group and must have tried most things on the menu and it was all tasty. High recommend!

This is our second visit within a week.Good food,great atmosphere and the staff are all brilliant.You definitely have to book as it gets very busy but it’s well worth it.Lets hope they don’t change anything like moving to larger premises as it works very well...

Food was great, chips I felt were a bit overcooked though.

Well what can I say!! Food = delicious Atmosphere = amazing Overall experience = 10/10 Highly recommend to anyone that what’s authentic Greek cuisine :)

We had a fantastic evening at Yassou Greek Kitchen’s first mezze night which we understand is an event that will be held on the last Tuesday of every month. The dishes offered were numerous, some familiar and some new to us but they were all...

were seated by the door...thankfully it was propped open or we would have suffocated in the heat! Ventilation distinctly lacking and aircon non-existent Despite being a Greek restaurant, I too was quite surprised that the decor still hasn't been made more authentic despite it being...

Delicious fresh food, generous portions - well worth the money. All dishes arrived perfectly on time piping hot. Staff were very welcoming. attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the Hercules platter and the halloumi fries. Immense value for money.

What a lovely little place. Food was fantastic. Booked the table via message. And had great communication. Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Food was amazing. Priced very well. Would definitely recommend.

We went with friends on a Saturday evening, the atmosphere was really good and the food excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing too much trouble we will definitely be returning asap.

The Greek food here is even better than that of Greece! And I'm in zakynthos as of writing.. you have to book well in advance for this place, but you will not be disappointed! It can be a little pricey but we aim to visit at least once every couple months... It's just so good!

Marvellous traditional Greek home cooked food. Always top quality. Highly recommend.

Perfect! Will definitely be back :) we had lots of different dishes, all amazing! And fairly priced! Couldn’t ask for more :)

First visit, but not our last. Food was lovely and the service was friendly.

Place was absolutely packed on a Wednesday evening about 6.30pm, which we took as a very good sign. We were right. Fantastic food! Lovely staff! Will definitely go back, thoroughly recommend.

Really enjoyed our visit to Yassou. The food was great and authentic, the ambiance was great. In the end we left some food as there was too much. Shame we live 60 miles away as it would be a regular spot to eat.

Well, late food bad service And were all eating at different times, not a good place at all. all staff dispersed when we left I can not rate the food as I did not get it ended up cancelling before I was served.

The restaurant was full on our visit and had a great buzz. The staff were really attentive. We didn’t feel rushed. We had hummus and pitta to start, the Hercules meat platter which was delicious. I finished off with the apple sponge this was so...

We were looking forward to our first visit after hearing and reading good reviews. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful . The venue is clean and well presented. The food is fresh well cooked and enjoyable. The only problem and one that will stop...

Lovely little place with stunning food. Staff are super friendly and make everyone feel individually welcomed

Felt like I was back in Greece. Great atmosphere food fantastic not too pricey 🇬🇷🍲😋

This place has bags of Greek character. The staff are friendly and polite and the food is amazing. I would highly recommend a relaxing meal here.

Lovely informal family atmosphere and beautiful food, primarily mezze-focused brought to your table when ready, but with dishes including traditional favourites keftedes, in a nicely spicy sauce, and stifado served with a delicious feta mash. A choice of Greek beer and wine is supplemented by an extensive wine and drinks list. Some on-street parking is available outside and there's a small garden area at the front.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. A really special place to eat. Reasonably priced too

Tried it for the first time on Saturday night and enjoyed the food and friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately it was a really hot night and the place was packed, the tables are very close together and quite small for a mezze type meal so your always moving things around for more space. The food was great and the staff very friendly but I think they need bigger premises. I would definitely go back again but probably not on a weekend.

Absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed every moment and will be booking again

Had a selection of dishes to share and everyone was delicious. All staff were really friendly!! Will definitely go again and would recommend

INCREDIBLE. It was our first time here and the experience was fantastic! Pricing is really reasonable and the food is amazing, highly recommended!
