Horrible experience. Not greeted at the door. Drink service was so slow. Food was tasty but honestly so slow and just not enough. Would have been better to not get the brunch as it wasn't value for money. We had a non drinker on the table and options for them lacked variety. By the time the drink came you needed to order again as it took too long between them coming back which meant they drinks certainly was free flowing. Just a horrible and expensive day out. We won't be back. You also said took the 6th persons money and we got nothing for it. No extra drinks, no dessert.

Food was amazing, absolutely delicious. A couple of hiccups with our order but it was dealt with immediately and very professionally. The only pitfall was the noise, it was so incredibly noisy we couldn't hear each other.

We have ordered the Mixed Gyros Tapsi and Falafel Tapsi. Service was fast and friendly, atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Staff was trying their hardest on a very hot and busy Sunday. Gyros was good, but the falafel was unfortunately hard, dry and tasteless. I would appreciate being warned about $7 sparkling water that wasn't even iced, it's not a fancy bottle, it seemed to be out of a 'soda stream'.

We dined on a hot day. 36C. The lack of air conditioning made it an uncomfortable sitting. Saying that … the food was amazing! The staff friendly, accomodating when we requested to move to a cooler position. Knowledgeable about how much we should order … they were spot in. I will def be recommending to friends & will be back. Just not on a hot day. The seafood platter & meat platter fed 5 of us. The halloumi chips were some of the best we’ve had.

Yassas has an electric atmosphere with delicious food and fantastic service—everything arrived promptly and was beautifully presented. The only downside was the music being a bit too loud, making it hard to have a conversation. I was sitting in the middle and the two people either side of me couldn't hear each other! Otherwise, it was a wonderful dining experience!
