Yamas Greek Eatery

The food was very good, actually excellent for the price, but only 4 stars since I don't want people to think it's a fancy restaurant. It's more of a great place to drop into for semi-fast food in downtown Walla Walla. It has a somewhat limited menu, but still easy to find something good to eat. Pleasant atmosphere, 2 separate rooms, kid friendly, on-street parking nearby, handicapped access. Nice friendly waitpeople, Anna was great. Managers also friendly. I've been there many times as it's a go-to place for a quick meal when I'm downtown. Enjoy!

My family decided to try this location for an experiment together and see what they had to offer. Upon arriving it was filled with other patrons, families and college students, which was a good start. We waited a few minutes, not long, for a table and chose to sit outdoors on the patio area. Seating was a little close quarters, but it made it intimate and cozy. Our server was polite and did a good job with answering questions offering what was available. There were a few items that were forgotten, but it wasn’t anything major to complain or become upset over. When the appetizers - dolmades, paidakia, and spanakopita - arrived to our table, the playing looked good and we dove right in. Then midway through the appetizers we ordered our entrees - lamb + beef gyro, chicken souvlaki, falafel. Everything was flavorful. Pros: • Good ambience especially outdoors in beautiful weather • Great time to go is early evening when the air is cool • Family-friendly and people are light hearted spending time with family and loved ones; was able to see a few pups along the way ☺️ Cons: • The lamb did not sit well in flavor. Not sure how this meat was prepared, however marinated in seasonings overnight and using a clay style pot/oven slow cooked may be a suggestion. This is due to experience with international travel in North Africa. • Experience could be enjoyed better “tapa style” eating versus full plates (this was our family’s consensus from our experience) • Servings for fries were very small in portion when ordered another side order; it was almost on par with fries that came with other orders (if requested) Overall the experience was good due to the ambience. The food was neutral, yet being with family made all the difference.

We decided to have lunch here on May 14. There was no waiting time. There were 2 servers when we walked in, but when we were ready to order, there was only 1 server. It took a while for the server to come take our orders. I ordered the pork souvlaki (plate) which came with pita bread, greek salad, and fries. Everything was really good, especially the fries. The only one complain would be the plate was too small. Because of that, the pita bread was right next to the salad and it was soggy from the dressing. We would come back, if we visit Walla Walla again.
