Yamas Deli: Reviews & Ratings
The food was so good. That's one thing and the worker there was really kind as I was 50p short and he didn't even complain he needs a raise and again the food was really good. I recommend
My partner and I had two Pork Gyros and they were delicious! The seasoning was perfect, the meat was really tender and flavourful, and the sauce went so well with everything! We'll definitely be back!
Having travelled regularly to Greece for over 20 years, and in particular to Crete since 2007, we love our Greek ???????? street food. However, today was the first that we had sampled food from Yamas Deli. In the past we had feared that it wouldn't live up to expectations so had shied away. As it was such a lovely, warm, spring day in Dumfries today, we headed down Bank Street from the Makers' Market, to order 2 medium mixed pita gyros (chicken and pork). Great portion size, beautifully prepared and cooked with all the authentic ingredients and flavours that we have grown to love. It was such a nice day that we sat at a table outside the takeaway to enjoy our lunch. Not quite as cheap as our usual lunchtime spots in Crete (under 3 euros) but still a treat we thoroughly enjoyed - and cheaper than a flight to Chania
Found this place down a quiet side street in Town and it was superb!!!! Great tasting Gyros with loads of filling. Try it you won’t be dissatisfied, great to meet the owner Nick too who serve us and what he cooks he does very well & authentic.
I had today the new burger Bifteki, is absolutely delicious, amazing Definitely will come back for more
Top food and top service. We arrived late and they still looked after us and let us eat in side. Ordered the chicken hercules gyros 10.95 but it was large and worth the money!
Got the small chicken gyros, 10/10 would recommend! Was £7.59!!
Good food decent price cute as heck employee. I'm not from the UK we went to this place on a whim. We ordered 3 Hercules Pita Gyros with halloumi on top it was really good. For my taste I would like a bit more tzatziki. However the meat was juicy and tasty. 10/10 would go again!
