Yiamas in Glasgow City

Review is a little late but we were on vacation in Glasgow in May, we ate at Yiamas three times. Fantastic every time. Best place to get a fresh salad and the lamb was amazing. the owners recognized us on the third visit and had a great chat. food and service were top notch. They were even accommodating with giving us a table suitable for my fathers wheel chair.

Nothing to complain about in terms of the meal, everything is very good. On the other hand, in terms of service....unfriendly and we ask for a Greek salad (in Greek salads it is supposed to have olives...) we point out to the waiter that there are none, he will get some for us and ohhhh surprise charged 3.5 pounds for 10 poor olives... without having told us of course that they were chargeable...

I love it here. Second time dining last night and I know I’ll be back soon. Excellent and friendly service team, great portion sizes for such a reasonable price, and the wine selection is top notch. Their house white is actually delicious. You *must* save some room for dessert, namely their orange cake!

Loved our visit for lunch today! Food was so tasty - daughter and I loved the hummus so much - our lovely waitress confirmed it was freshly made on site. Just delicious. Halloumi Souvlaki and fresh Greek salad. Daughter had the special fried sliced halloumi pita wrap with seasoned fries. We will be back.

Cheerful service and good, filling gyros. Decent value for money.

Went here on Saturday and both of us got the chicken souvlaki (one with chips and one with Greek salad). It was absolutely fantastic and excellent value for money. Great atmosphere and fantastic service. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place. Food is incredible and so consistent every time

Had the lunch deal - Pitta Gyro👌 excellent food, portion & value.

Delicious! Will definitely be back!

Lovely place, Great vibe, really cozy and comfortable, the food is beautiful, Staff are amazing, book ahead to avoid no tables as it is a busy wee place 😊

£15.20 for 4 cubes of chicken with two small pieces of pepper. No salad or chips or pitta as advertised. What was delivered tasted nice but abysmal value for money.

I visited with my daughter for some lunch. Service was first class and the food is as good as any you would get in Greece! I really liked the options available on the menu and priced reasonably. I would highly recommend

Lovely well priced food & a lovely atmosphere. Have been previously & enjoyed it so went back. Excellent value for money & the gyros were great

Great ambiance with perfect service and delicious food. The server team is great 🙂

Delicious greek food reminded us of home made food, which was a break from other eats in scotland.

Food : delicious Staff : very friendly Price : very good 👍 😀 🇬🇷

Food excellent, staff friendly and helpful, I will definitely be back!

excellent greek food spot in Glasgow

First time here, food was amazing as was the 🍺, staff were brilliant, so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back

Outstanding food & service. Dog Friendly

Another amazing meal here, we come at leastbonce a month for some of the most authentic, tasty and reasonably priced food. The dolmades are always great and the feta and spinach parcel are delicious! The gyros platter is what I adore and it cannot be faulted but, the filthy fries, omg, the filthy fries! Salty, crisp and moreish, the sauce is spicy and the feta just makes this another level. I would go just for the fries if I could! Decent amount of chicken or pork meat on top too! We shall return in the not too distant future!

Great little reason the centre of Glasgow. Really nice and tasty food, open kitchen, food service and friendly/welcoming. It’s was really quiet so I can only go down the middle for atmosphere. Would recommend

Great food and not too expensive

A true gem. It’s so difficult to find great gluten free Greek food and these guys always deliver!

Wonderful food and excellent service Will be back again

Food was top notch & very well priced considering the large portion sizes. However service was a little slow, especially when trying to get the bill which we were waiting 25 mins for. Ground floor area is small & cramped, if coming here would definitely recommend booking seating in the bar area upstairs, which is much more roomy. Will definitely be back though as the food was fantastic.

Tasty but small portions for the price

A random walk around drop in. Great find nice atmosphere, good service and lovely food.

every time we stay in Glasgow this is our go to, great place amazing food

Food was nice and tasty, no pitta bread as advertised tho.

Absolutely unbelievable. Hits the spot every time! Best gyros I’ve ever tried (including in Greece). 100000/10

Had a large group dinner of 17 in Yiamas for a special occasion . We had a great time! Food was delicious and staff were lovely with a good atmosphere. Would recommend !

Two small pieces of spanakopita for the price of £8.40? Also, for a chicken souvlaki pitta, I was expecting more souvlaki, not just 2-3 small pieces, full of potatoes and the taste was nothing like a Greek pitta. Sorry, I won't order again.

Food was amazing. Gyro was the best I’ve had. The home made chips are to die for. Menu just needs pastitsio added😉

Food was lovely great atmosphere and even better price well worth a visit if you like Greek food

Food was amazing and good range of gf vg etc staff were lovely, were neglected slightly at the end but it had started to get busy with not much staff so was understandable. Food was fresh and amazing, will def be back (photo is the vegan pita it was incredible)

Went today chad lunch time deal chicken gyros and soft drink was delicious. Tastes the real deal

Great tasting food. Staff were super helpful and prices were very reasonable for a city centre restaurant.

We had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner in Yiamas! The food was delicious and great sized portions. Especially loved the vibe leaves and the lamb souvlaki! Very reasonably priced too! We will definitely be back

A Greek God is amongst us and their name is Yiamas. Always my favourite place to eat in Glasgow!

I've had gyros many times in Greece and can confidently say the one I had at Yiamas is one of the best I've ever had. The food is amazing, they have Mythos, the service is great and the prices are fair. This is now one of our favourite restaurants in Glasgow so can highly recommend it.

I enjoyed every thing here. lovely staff, delicious food, Well done Guys

The food was delicious! Highly recommend chicken gyro and strawberry Daiquiri is fantastic🍸

Delicious food, nice service, I highly recommend.

Very friendly place. Great food served promptly.

Very nice restaurant! Fantastic food and amazing service! 10/10

Friendly family run eatery, fabulous gyros, and baklava to die for. Recommended. Oh and try the orange sponge dessert....oh my days it's heavenly.

Food good quality, service a bit off Ordered loukaniko and gyros with a gluten free pitta, and an extra regular pitta Waitress then asked if we'd like to swap the tzatziki for hummus, as the taztziki had yoghurt in it. "Your yoghurt contains gluten?" She just looks confused. OK, so she's mixed up dairy and gluten, everyone gets one, sure she'll get corrected in the kitchen. More confusion ordering the pittas, and we ended up with the regular pitta that came with the main, plus 1 extra gf and 1 extra regular pitta Then we got souvlaki instead of gyros We were in a rush so didn't complain, souvlaki was good anyway, would come back

A wee taste of home (or where we perceive our future home to be). The food is superb, staff attentive and price competitive with the surrounding establishments. Give this wee gem a go, you will not be disappointed!

Excellent food as ever. Had the Mixed Gyros, which is highly recommended but make sure you are hungry. Great service as ever.

I have came to this place for ages I love it so much the food is amazing and so are the staff they are always so lovely! My favourite place to eat by far 😋

Very good food in affordable prices. Chicken well seasoned, pork a bit dried up. Still would recommend! Fried feta with onions and peppers outstanding!

The night, dark and the clouds, low. I made my way up Buchanan Street as if I was climbing to Olympus itself. I felt like the pilgrims of old making a dangerous journey to the mystical Eleusis. My Trials and tribulations to be rewarded with ancient secrets and ever lasting life. As I broke the clouds of bath street, before me stood the looming arches of Yiamas. The warm comforting glow lured me in, making promises only gods could keep. My physical journey was over, making way for my spiritual journey to begin. As I sat and watched the high priest and priestesses begin to brew my veg moussaka, I pondered just what made this place so special. Was it the welcoming atmosphere? Was it the world class authentic greek cuisine? Or was it the love and passion of the family run business taking pride in everything they do? I came to the conclusion it was all of the above. The mortal and 3 dimensional words that fill my vocabulary are not enough to describe yiamas, akin to understanding the enormity of the universe, describing the beauty of Gaia. Feeling the overwhelming power of a black hole where nothing not even light can escape its grasp. Yiamas is not for mere mortals but a place of gods, a place of worship. Only the worthy may enter.

Ordered two pitas. Meat is a bit on the drier side but it is close to how they make it in Greece.

We had a very tasty lunch! Friendly service from lovely staff and the food was great quality, brought out fresh as it was cooked. Would highly recommend! Thanks, everyone!

We ordered 4 portions of pork giros. The portions were very small. The meat has very thick sliced and just two pieces of pita bread??? Totally disappointed and I paid £51.8 for these.

Very busy little restaurant, it's been a whole since we had last been, we didn't book, and fortunately we got the last available table, people who came in shortly after us were unfortunately told there was a waiting time. So good to book! Meals were delicious, especially the lamb souvlaki, so tender and tasty, the house wine was OK, as far as house wines go! Desert was a treat, Galateboureko yum, and portocalopita, orange soaked sponge cake. Apologies if the spelling is wrong, but deserts were delicious.

In for a quick bite before cinema. Had a pork and halloumi gyros which hit the mark and a bottle of beer. Service was great.

Under cooked chicken and a waitress not familiar with the menu......shame! Been here before and loved it.

Had the moussaka which was very good, Good portion sizes, fair prices, quick service, friendly staff

Lovely family run restaurant, nice and casual atmosphere ,great value for money

Quite disappointed unfortunately. I am Greek and was enthusiastic about going to that place. My friend ordered the gyros portion. The meat was very dry. This was also noticed by my other friend who ordered a pita gyros. He was also very disappointed with the meat. The tomato that was in my pita was yellow (not ripe). Unfortunately, quite a poor experience and felt bad to say anything to the very kind waitress who asked how the food was. On the positive side, atmosphere and service were good.

Food was delicious and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Good quality, 👍 very good service

Very poor gluten free options. In fact they were non existent. This venues has a basic approach to GF dining. To exclude the gluten containing food is not a gluten free option in my view and very outdated. Can the chef just use gluten free flour to make the Moussaka gluten free? Then everyone could enjoy it. No option for a gluten free pudding other than ice-cream. Abysmal - would certainly not return and this venue needs to accomodate those with food intoleranes much better.

Pleasant establishment with amiable service. Main course or tapas style small plates. Would go back.

This is supposed to be a PORTION....and it costs £6.50 HELL NO! 🤡

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

The food is delicious. Especially their hummus, it's the best. They have great Vegan options. The service is amazing and their friendly staff went the extra mile. We will definitely be back.

Very good food experience In Glasgow. Fresh grilled meat, amazing tzatziki. Very friendly staff and good prices

We had a reservation of 10 on Sunday at lunch, which was really well accommodated for and the service was perfect :) Our server was really friendly, helpful and precise with our order! I'm not sure what her name was, but we were served by a girl in a blue t-shirt, at around 1pm? The food was delicious, and I really like that we can watch how some food is made through a glass screen! The chips and tzatziki were definitely my favourite combo of the whole meal, but my halloumi pita wrap was also very delicious. Everyone else at the table also really enjoyed everything! I didn't hear a single complaint about anything nor have one myself :) I also ordered a freddo espresso which was perfect and super refreshing! The regular coffee tasted really nice, but I was surprised at the difference in taste between the regular and decaf versions. The regular one was very buttery and smooth, and the decaf one had earthy and bitter notes? We also brought our own cake which was really well accommodated for. Overall, great service and food! Thank you very much :)

Η ατμόσφαιρα είναι σαν ελληνική ταβέρνα, η εξυπηρέτηση ήταν άψογη (πιστεύω επειδή οι σερβιτόροι ζητάνε tips στο τέλος γι’ αυτό είναι τόσο τέλειοι σε ολα τα μαγαζιά) το φαγητό ήταν καλό, καθαρό μαγαζί, καλές τιμές, γενικά μου άρεσε θα ξανά πηγαινα!

Great restaurant, great service, outstanding food. Food was so good, I forgot to take pictures of it all. Would go back on a daily basis.

Fantastic Gyros! Staff are always happy and friendly, the best greek food ever! Mythos + Gyro = heaven!!

The best Greek food we've ever had! The lamb gyro was delicious. Clean and friendly spot.

Visited this place as part of a birthday celebration. We came late on the day and they ran out of a few options. We liked everything that we ordered. Overall nice atmosphere, would've been better with the Greek music.

Been here 3 times, they never disappoint😋🤗.

Excellent resto tant au niveau des plats qu’au niveau de l’accueil et du service !

Brilliant service topped off by an excellent meal.

Sign says they open at noon, but we were told they don't open until 1pm after navigating a group of 6. No apologies.

Très frais nourriture authentique et bon accueil

Went for lunch with a group. Nice service and great food. Ordered the mix gyros. Would definitely return.

One the best food spots in Glasgow. All freshly made, huge portions and reasonable prices. 10/10 every time

Popped in for a lunchtime treat. I had a Mixed gyro for £7.95 and a diet coke. The service was kinda slow and it wasn't that busy. However I really enjoyed my lunch. Was a substantial gyro and I felt good value for the price. Will be back!

Such a brilliant friendly restaurant. It's like being on holiday in Greece.

Delicious, good value food for a lunchtime treat. The fries are particularly tasty!

Great wee find. Food was amazing, with a great variety something to suit everyone. Atmosphere was good with a nice, comfortable feel. Staff were friendly and service was fast and efficient. Good value for money

My favourite place to eat in Glasgow as the food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. It's a great place for a pre venue gyros before a visit to the concert hall. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and cannot wait to go back.

Amazing, fresh food, great portion sizes, very friendly and speedy service. Well priced too. Went there at about 18.00 on a Thursday after shopping in Glasgow, ordered the souvlaki (plates) and a Greek salad. We asked them to skip the chillies in the salad (some people noted that the food is spicy, so know that you can make these requests). Seriously, couldn't have asked for anything better. Hard recommend!

Amazing food, great staff, superb value for money

Wasn’t asked if I wanted tzatziki or hummus on my food unlike usually, this too slipped my mind resulting in my meal being smothered in a condiment I detest & wasted food, scran is usually great though

The food here is always so good!

Great food, excellent service and comfortable atmosphere. Laid back and relaxed feel which is nice.

Fantastic place! The pork gyro meat in particular is my favourite. The prices are good and the portions are great.

Food was amazing, atmosphere is great and the staff are super friendly! Was my first Greek experience and I've been a few times since, will be back again!

I absolutely love Greek food and culture and this is definitely the best in Glasgow. Looks small from the outside and didn’t think we would get seated but found out there is also an upstairs that was huge. Gyros amazing but would love to try something different next time I’m there. Girl working upstairs at around 5pm Sunday was lovely and very welcoming.

Decent food, for me just a little bit too salty. Good service. They don't have good ventilation down there, you can smell not good after exit.

Amazing as always! Been coming here for years and have never ever had a bad experience.. Family run business who actually care about the customer and always deliver great fresh tasting food and top notch service.. Support small Local Business like this!! Hope it's still open in years to come so My kids can bring there kids!

Food is brilliant. Nice relaxed place. Fair prices. Can't fault it.

Can't fault the food it was really delicious. Staff are really nice great value for money definitely be back
