Yamas Greek Cuisine

Food that speaks to the heart!

About us

Born and bred in the countryside of northern Greece, Fani grew up immersed in a home environment that relied solely on what nature had to offer when it came to food. The finest meat, the freshest vegetables, the richest spices, the juiciest fruit – they all came from the family’s farm.

Fani did not leave Greece before she was sure that her mother and her grandmother had passed on to her all their secret tricks on how to cook food that speaks to the heart. In London, Fani is determined to carry on her family’s cooking tradition. With her love for all things natural guiding her every step, she sources her ingredients from some of the UK’s and Greece's best producers and follows her family’s traditional recipes to a T to bring you authentic Greek home cooked food “yiayia” (grandmother) style on an everyday basis.

The nature of the business is based on Greek authentic cuisine simulating the Mediterranean diet of a typical Greek household avoiding the stereotypical touristic gimmicks. Fani wants to start a family business in the UK and bring all of her experience of Greek hearty food to the British people.

Yeeros: The great Greek gift

Yeeros, gyro or gyros is a gift from Greece to everyone who enjoys food. Gyros means "turn" in Greek and is made usually from Pork or Chicken cooked on a vertical rotisserie.

What makes gyros from yamas so special? It is the high quality meat and the secret mix of Greek herbs we use for the marinade. The original yeeros needs to take its time in the marinade; so we leave it to marinade for a day before we cook it to perfection. Crunchy and tasty we serve gyros with pita bread, tomatoes, onion, chips and tzatziki.

So no need to wait for summer to have original Greek gyros; come over to yamas and treat yourself and your loved ones.
