Lunch was tasty and reasonable

Visitors from out of town and we were not disappointed!. We had the kalamari, ribs, lamb and chicken souvalaki. Food was absolutely delicious and service was great!

Carmie Dixon

Awesome food even better service.

Dan Leahy

Always consistently decadent food. The staff are always cheerful and on top of their game.

James & Carolyn Klassen

Good food and service ????

Brian B

I didn't know they did delivery till today! It's pricey but worth it. They top everything, making sure your takeout is full. This is the first time where I didn't have to pay at the door, you can do it online which is handy! And you can watch when the driver is coming, it's quite entertaining. Overall food is excellent and fresh.

Lynn E

I had a great meal on my birthday. Had a table to myself and was very comfortable and well looked after. Service was great thank you

Jeranon

Had an amazing meal and great service! ???? Will definitely be back ????

Russell Munday

John Frisch

Great food and service. A definite must for authentic Greek cuisine.

Carla Brown

Good taste but the keftedes are dry and crusty. Roast vegetables were only zucchini and bell pepper, which I thought was too many mushy things, would've benefitted from carrots. I will probably try something different next time.

Sage

Robb Davis

Even though the waitress had a large party she came to our table immediately. The food was even better than usual... no items unavailable after coming in behind 35 other patrons. The best Caesar Salad, Ribs and Spanokopita we found after visiting Toronto, Winnipeg and Saskatoon

Alix Born

Such great food and portion size is large. Very much enjoyed our take out meal. Looking forward to dining in when that’s available again.

Laura Faber

Best Greek food I've ever had and I've been to a lot of places. So much flavour! Very friendly service. They also have GF options - I have an allergy and no issues with the chicken souvlaki and the mouth watering lamb my husband had that I just had to taste! We'll be back soon!

Your food is as advertised went there for Valentine's Day with my girl had a completely totally mouth-watering adventure for our taste buds my goodness it was like my grandmother was in there cooking thank you so so much your staff was happy and cheerful everything from the table setting to forks knives spoons completely clean no spots on anything and I am a pretty fussy guy when it comes to my food and what I eat off of your floor was exceptionally clean not one thing to whine or complain about thank you very much we will be back Joe and Jess dining experience was fantastic

They have the best lamb I have ever had in my life. The sample platters are absolutely delicious and a great way to taste a portion of the fabulous menu

Dirk Jonker

You know it's bad when the dogs won't eat it... This is the worst meeal I've been served in my life, disgusting doesn't even begin to cover the swill this restraunt tried to pass off as food. Nothing about that meal was even Greek! (And Ive been to Greece!) MUSHY FRENCH FRIES ON A GYROS!?? GROSS The lamb was boiled slop. The dessert which was supposed to be filo based had NO filo in it. I want my $98 back these people have no business running a restraunt! Go to Yummies and Gyros folks!

Yiamas has really good food. The restaurant is nicely decorated and comfortable. They have a little summer patio out front. I'd add one more star if the prices were a little lower.

Jacki Zbirun

Terribly disappointed with my experience last night. We used Skip the Dishes for the delivery of our food and was so impressed with Liam the driver and couldn’t wait to dive into our meal. I ordered the spinach stuffed chicken (great dish) and my wife ordered the “Beef Gyro”. We eat Greek food lots and I personally have cooked for many Greek restaurants. My wife took a bite of her Gyro and sprung up from the table to dash to the garbage can to spit it out. Wow was that a shocker. I called the restaurant to ask what was it that she ate it was Keftedes meatballs. When I told the woman who answered that this was a terrible mistake, she seemed to not care one bit and advised me that they don’t have beef there, just ground beef meatballs. Done with that place. Zero customer service

Service was excellent, food was pretty good, coffee needs improvement. Overall experience good.

Best authentic Greek food I have enjoyed in a while. And the portion sizes are huge!

shirley reilly

Taste fine but some tough lamb

Gerry Piche

Great Greek food, probably the best on Vancouver Island. You can't beat the humus and roast lamb.

Kevin Platt

The place was great and so was great

Rob

Derek Firth

Food and service was good. I had the stuffed chicken. I would recommend

Vernon Brewster

Friday night take-away - very generous portions, lamb souvlaki was cooked perfectly, bit of pink on the inside with a nice char. Plenty of veg, rice and potatoes - had to save the salad for the next day!

Steve Sakamoto

We had Yiamas cater our friends wedding and they did a great job. The salads were 10/10. And the lamb, I am not one to eat lamb much, I find it greasy/gamey but man did they season it to perfection. It was slow cooked and tender. Definitely worth going and eating there.

Salena cm Seed

Paid $19 plus tax for 4 little chicken pieces in 1 skewer, with small amount of side food. Way over-priced IMO.

Christine Yake

Deke Rivers

Excellent food. Hood portions. Used to go years ago before I moved to the Okanagan and the quality is still great.

Pradeep Kumar Kumaran

We have had so many special moments at this wonderful restaurant. Food is plentiful and cooked to perfection. Don't miss out on the Greek Ribs and the Platter. Our favorites.

Black Fox

Cathy Rees

Popped in after a day of adventuring and although we were all pretty grubby, our family was welcomed into Yiamas for dinner without a second glance. We had the souvlaki, kalamari, and stuffed chicken entrees, and all of us were floored by how delicious the meals were. Despite having been exploring all day, none of us could clear the plates entirely, but that was only because there was so much, not at all reflective of the quality. The food was delicious, wonderfully prepared and really, REALLY filling. Service was exceptional, and very friendly. Covid-related: Yiamas made every effort to keep diners safe and separated. They provide hand sanitizer at the entry point, have limited indoor seating, and have signs on every table for the diners to either request service, or to be left alone, limiting unnecessary exposures.

We gave this place a try and were thrilled with the food and the service! The Spinach Dip is awesome. Every single item on our dinner plates was delicious - from the mains (prawns and chicken souvlaki) to the sides. It wasn't loud and we could even converse pleasantly with one another. We'll definitely be back!

Mikael Harvey

Fantastic food for a good price. Large portion. Strongly recommend the platter if you are unsure of what to order. We ordered it for two, would easily feed four. Delicious sample sized entrees. The lady who served us was ???? % switched on.

The food is AMAZING! Service is also the same level, definitely recommend!!

Paul Hachey

The feta is gross doesn't even taste like feta.High price for low amounts of food at a low quality the pita and iced tea were the best parts of the meal. Overall would not come here again.

Mister J

WOW! We just had dinner here (we are visiting from Vancouver) and it was the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Calamari was unreal, the lamb was so tender and customer service top notch. Would highly recommend this place and next time we are in the area we will definitely be back. The dessert (ektek? I can’t remember the name , first item on the dessert list) was also amazing!! So so so good! ????????????????????????

Blair Smith

Very good, authentic Greek food and atmosphere. Very polite and courteous staff who are very inviting. I would definitely recommend this.

So If youve had Greek food you know its good. But when you have this Greek food you will know it's great. Had it 2 days ago and it and the memmories of the meal came back and thought the internet should know.

Kaye Wightman

Jennifer Cappiello

We have done take out three times with Yiamas and food was pretty good, not really exceptional. Portions were average for the price. We really wanted to be super excited since Greek food is our family favourite but after the last time spending almost $100 for a family of 3 and just feeling so-so about the meal, I'm not sure we'll go back any time soon.

Allan Piercy

Classic Greek. I liked it. The food had a home style quality that added to the sense of authenticity.

Sandra Davis

I just had the lamb dinner and loved it. Fabulous place to eat in Comox . Great service and they seem to know all their clients. Lots of regulars is always a good sign. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Wendy Keating

It may be good if you especially like greek (aka lots of rise and potatos.) I was hoping for a bit more variety. It was well made and presented though.

Ben Christie

Change Your Pain Kamloops

Fabulous service and fantastic food! The best calamari we have ever tasted! Vegetarian moussaka to die for and perfectly cooked lamb souvlaki as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Paul Hansen

We didn't think it was very good, first of all they didn't get our orders correct and we waited too long for our food to come the table, my lamb was very tough and my wife's chicken was so overcooked she sent it back the Greek salad should be renamed dry tomatoe salad with feta. The waitress was nice

Kelsey Crozier

This review is a little late, but I took my partner here for a lovely meal a few weeks ago. The service was thoughtful and kind. The food was tasty and my portion of lamb was bigger than I could of hoped for. We had to take it home and eat if for lunch the next day. Everything about this place, form COVID safety to the food was amazing. I will be back!

Terra Barton

Best greek and food in the valley!! Awesome portions as well !

Excellent!!!

Dave Critchley

Nice little Greek restaurant. Their brazed lamb is really good. Will definitely be back next time we're in Courtenay.

Ian Macpherson

I came here for a company holiday party and this place was wonderful. The food was amazing. We were served hummus, olive pate, and spinach dip with two kinds of pita, which were all great. Most spinach dips are kind of runny, but this one was good and thick. Next we were on to calamari. Perfectly cooked. I should not have filled up so much at this part of the meal. We got Greek salad and Caesar salad, and the biggest thing I can mention about them is how nice it was that the onion was cut to a good size, not the huge cubes that a lot of places do. Then the entree: roasted potatoes, carrots, and beets that were maybe the best I've ever had of any of those things, with prawns (perfect), chicken (I don't eat chicken so no review about that), and spanakopita, which was also amazing. There were two desserts that I never caught the names of. They were awesome, but I want in much of an eating mood by the time they came out after hummus, pate, spinach dip, pita, calamari, salad, roasted vegetables, prawns, and spanakopita. The staff was wonderful too. I believe we met almost the whole team at some point, even the cook poked his head out of the kitchen to receive a round of applause. They were all polite and smiling and really nice, but didn't hang out too long at the tables. Great service too. I don't think I have a negative thing to say. There were a couple in our group with some dietary restrictions, myself included, but every dish came with a summary of what could and couldn't be eaten ("this is dairy", "this is vegetarian"). I think I even remember seeing a special option come out of the kitchen for a person with some more restrictive requirements. Overall, a really great time and a really great restaurant. I'll be looking for an opportunity to go back.

Service was slow. We were only ones there at 1 pm. I asked gor a beef gyro and got chicken.

Had a great supper at Yianni's tonight. The humus to start was excellent and we both had Chicken Slouvlaki was the best we have had in a long time.would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Sonja Limberger

We ordered takeout today. Was pleasantly surprised that they can accommodate gluten free for a person with Celiac disease and also for a person with vegan dietary restrictions. All in all the person we spoke with on the phone and when we arrived to pickup were really nice and we get taken care of. The order was ready quickly and we got back home we all felt the food was delicious and plentiful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yiamas. Great food and really nice people! Side note. I ordered the vegan stuffed eggplant. Very delicious. How did they make vegan béchamel?? I have no idea but it was awesome!

Devon Caines

Great food Great Prices

Raphaele Larouche

The braised lamb is amazing. Good portion, well priced. Cooked to perfection, epic flavor.

KC

Ordered from here for delivery and it is the best Greek food I have found in the area! So delicious and authentic at a reasonable price!

Devon Garoup

My wife and I have been eating there every time we go to mount Washington for over 10 years. Summer or winter the food is fantastic. I had three other tugboaters with me last night. We walked out stuffed and all hands were very satisfied. The tsatziki was so good and their bread is incredible. The dolmades keftedes saganaki everything was fantastic. COVID protocols were excellent. I recommend Yiamas 100%. Thanks again for an enjoyable evening.

Kim Roberts

What a great find!! So much food ????, and so very good!! Staff was excellent ????????

Hi Hi

Mediocre food at a top shelf price.

Sandy Bennett

We ordered take out and had Spanikopita, gyros and dessert. Dessert was Ekmek, and I found my new favorite food. All the food was good ut this dessert was so fresh and delicious. I recommend this for take out. Prices were a steal for the amount of yummy food.

Jessica Dunfield

Food and Service were excellent. I am a 5 years Yiamas customer.

John Naswell

I wasn't too sure about Yiamas before going there for lunch but I was impressed with the delicious appetizers and generous portions. even though it was a quiet Friday afternoon the food was fresh and the service was prompt. I even had one of my favourite drinks, a spanish coffee, and it was made properly! Will be back for more some other time.

Thomas Brown

Wonderful food and service. very impressed

Consistently high level of quality, both food and service. Thank you for another great dining experience, Yiamas!

BEST GREEK FOOD I EVER HAD (5 STAR) Fantastic experience. We arrived and it was booked solid, the owner made sure a table was available . We were treated graciously. The food was fantastic, service top notch. It was very busy and you could tell how well managed the whole team was to ensure everyone was prioritized. Dine here, you will be glad you did. We love the place We are going to come back again Thank you for your great food& service

Ziad Al

A great Big THANK YOU to Yiamas Greek Taverna. Our group of 25 had a fantastic supper on Tuesday. Every item was delicious and between all of us we tried pretty much everything on the menu. Service was 10/10. We will certainly be back. A special shout out to all the staff especially Amanda. Well done!

Absolutely fantastic! Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Just went here for the first time, and Im ecstatic. I would have to say better than Asteras, in Nanaimo. And im absolutely in love with that place. Highly recommended if you’re looking for high quality greek food! Thanks so much you awesome people -Kyle

The lamb souvlaki was amazing! HUGE portions, too!

Andy Fullerton

Stacey Guthrie

We ordered the platter so we could get a taste of everything. Every single dish was amazing. I saw someone complain in another review regarding the feta. I don't know if they had the same I just had but it was the best feta! So soft, nice small crumbles, and full of flavor. I will definitely be back and bring others ????????????????

The best food every time. The service is excellent and the menu has something for everyone. They have a good wine selection as well as delicious desserts. It’s a good idea to call for a reservation as this place is busy because of the awesome ambiance and great dining experience

John K

I had just gotten to the island from Ottawa and was hangry enough to take a bite out of a complete stranger when we spotted this unassuming little Greek place. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer which came with homemade tzaziki and the roasted lamb as a main. Gawd damn! I'm so glad we stopped here. The pita bread was soft, doughy, and piping hot. The calamari was tender and cooked perfectly. And the lamb! I just touched it with my fork and it fell to pieces. So tender. So juicy. And seasoned just right. A definite recommend for anyone who enjoys good Greek food.

Great food and a fun night. It was booked for a friends engagement party

Jory Thoren

The best food in any restaurant anywhere hands down! Most unexpected and delightful!

North Island Properties

We love the food! And we like the free take out delivery that Yiamas is providing, we take advantage of it about every two weeks. The food portions are generous and the food is always very tasty. I personally love the greek ribs and other family members enjoy the calamari, deep fried cheese (yum), greek salad and chicken souvalaki. You will be happy that you ordered from this local and friendly restaurant:)

Robert Baldwin

great food

Paul Solowoniuk

We went there a few nights ago and the food was delicious and very tasty! The portions are quite large which is always nice. The server was exceptional providing us with great service. It was also good to see that they are taking appropriate measures to operate around COVID-19. We will definitely go back!

We have just arrived home after an evening meal at Yiamas, and we can't stop talking about it. Everyone at the table said that it was one of the BEST meals they have experienced in a very long time. The lamb was so tender and seasoned to perfection. Three at the table had the stuffed chicken- amazing! The prawns and scallops were also enjoyed with huge compliments. I live in the Comox Valley and am sad I have only just discovered this gem. We will be back.

If there were 11 stars, I would rate this restaurant's food 11 stars. Unbelievable tasting Greek food and service! BEST food i've ever had. The owner Chris Zmeis came out personally to ask how our meal was on many of our visits. A true professional. We reccomend all family and friends Yiamas when they are near Courtenay. We personally drive up from Qualicum Beach for dinners here!

Ron Van Dyk

Fantastic Greek food

Patricia K

Michael Leggett

They serve excellent food. Good service too!!

Daylee Blakeley

Excellent service and plentiful and delicious food! Best Greek I've ever had. We ordered the appetizer platter and two salads and we were delighted with the quality, variety and quantity of food. The large salads are really large! The meatballs were perfectly spiced, the spanakopita was scrumptious, the stuffed grape leaves were perfect, and the calamari was delicious! With the tzatziki, olives, feta and pita there was actually enough food for a third person. The sweet Greek coffee is the real thing and we had to split the hekmek because we were so full! The people at another table were raving about the lamb so we're planning another visit soon to verify their claim.

Linda Fournier

Cristina Scott

Really great Beef Moussaka, delicious Lamb with Artichokes! And the service was great.

Jody Chambers

It's not just rice, potatoes and pita bread. All the dishes we enjoyed did not skimp on the higher value ingredients. On a Friday night it was busy so I recommend calling ahead for a reservation.

Mark Nagra

Great food, great atmosphere

Great food, prepared to order including addressing food allergies. Great service and reasonable prices.

Kristin Woiwod

After a nice afternoon of snow shoeing on Mount Washington, I took this girl I met out for supper. Saganaki, a Greek platter and a bottle of wine. The food was so good but not nearly as good as the company I was with. I'm crazy about her and going to fly her out to see me soon. Thanks for the great night!

Jenna

ryan barefoot

Fantastic greek food! We ordered the chicken souvlaki for delivery. The chicken was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The rice and potatoes were more subtle but still delicious! The roasted zucchini and pepper were an added bonus and we were too full to get to the Greek salad but did have a taste test. Food is fresh. We will absolutely order from here again. My only tiny suggestion is to work on the tzatziki as it was a little too thick for my liking. Still tasty though.

Martin Colianni

Hailey Brandner

Andrea Courage

Delicious food. Friendly and accommodating. A favourite place for a special meal out.

Paul Prokop

The new vegan menu is really excellent and well thought out. The Greek coffee was delicious, the hummus is made on site (and vegan), our dinners were great, the roasted eggplant had a hint of nutmeg that really made it pop and the phyllo plate had a great crunch and the flavours of the sweet potato and red pepper really pulled it together into a comfort food favourite. Potatoes and salad were classically Greek amazing, no one does potatoes like Greeks do potatoes. The service was very professional, ultra polite, and very friendly. They went above and beyond to accommodate tables for requests like high chairs,different seating options,etc. Never had to wait for service and felt very well taken care of (like visiting family). Last but not least, make sure you save room for the baklava (also vegan) it is warm and sweet and literally to die for. It's too bad for blue spruce ice cream being across the street, because next time the lady suggests ice cream I'll probably counter with coffee and baklava at Yiamas. Check this place out, you won't regret it, even if you're not vegan, excellent for for value and bonus points for the separate vegan menu options making it clear and easy to order.

We have eaten here close to a dozen times over the last few years. Not once were we disappointed in the service or food!

Great food, great service.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. We had the mega appetizer plate between 4 of us, and then our meals. Servers were great, no rush between courses and each of us ordered something different and we all really enjoyed every bite! Have been here several times and never been disappointed.
