A new chapter for Yammas, with food at its heart.

For many of you, Yammas has meant memorable parties, good drinks and evenings that carry on a little longer than planned. We love that part of our story. But we also recognised that it was time to bring renewed attention to the kitchen and return to something essential: the quality of the food should always come first.

Meet chef Georgios Lytras, the voice behind this reel and a central part of that change. Having worked in Michelin-starred kitchens, Georgios brings fresh ideas, valuable experience and a new perspective to the way we cook at Yammas.

Welcoming him has given us the opportunity to rethink our approach and create a brand-new menu, bringing a contemporary expression to the Greek flavours at the heart of our restaurant.

The energy and hospitality you know remain part of who we are. Alongside them is a renewed commitment to making Yammas a place you choose for dinner, as much as for the evening that follows.

If you haven’t tried our new menu yet, we’d love to welcome you in. We look forward to sharing this next chapter with you.

The Sweeter Side of Yammas

We’ve shared the small plates; now it’s time for dessert.

Our Chocolate Mousse is served with whipped cream and cherry compote, balancing rich chocolate with a little sharpness from the fruit.

Our Pistachio Crème Brûlée has that crisp caramelised top, with fleur de sel, caramelised pistachio and vanilla ice cream.

Our Seabass Dolma

Cabbage dolmades are a familiar part of Greek home cooking. Traditionally filled with rice, herbs and minced meat, they’re often served with avgolemono an egg-and-lemon sauce that gives the dish its comforting richness and distinctive lemon flavour.

For our new menu, we’ve taken that familiar combination in a different direction.

Our Sea Bass Dolma brings together sea bass tartare wrapped in savoy cabbage, silky avgolemono, dill oil and fresh lemon zest. The cabbage parcel and lemony sauce remain, with the fish giving this version a character of its own.

Meatballs are a familiar part of Greek home cooking.

Traditional keftedes are shaped by hand, often scented with mint, and served among the small plates that make up a meze table.

It’s easy to see their appeal: fragrant herbs, generous seasoning and the comfort of something simple, cooked well. A dish to share, with everyone reaching for another forkful.

On our new menu, our Greek Beef Meatballs bring that tradition into the Yammas kitchen. Hand-rolled beef with mint and cumin, smoked tomato jus, whipped feta and crispy oregano.

The tomato brings a smoky depth, the feta adds creaminess, and the oregano gives a little crunch. Familiar Greek flavours, served our way.
