    Most of staff were lovely. My suggestion is to go with vegetarian options - Grilled meat can be burnt /chewy. Long delay between dishes. Some of us had to wait too long for other dishes to be served. My previous experience was good so I invited my friends but this was a different experience. I am to sure I will go back again.

    The food is usually good and some was but the broccolini was completely charred and it is quite expensive for what you’re getting.

    Wonderful meal at Yakamoz. The cutlets, the pide and the eggplant were standout. Service was warm and attentive. Only small note is the room can get a bit loud once it fills up. Would happily go back.
