Delicious food, fresh and tasty. The Yaya's speciality dish of Lamb and Lemon potatoes was the best I have eaten, a great balance of flavours and seasoning the lamb was so soft and melt in your mouth and the potatoes with just the right hint of lemon..... perfection!
Save room for dessert as the Baclava ice-cream is gorgeous, a medley of creamy, nutty, honey goodness. A great way to finish your meal coupled with an authentic greek coffee!
This is definitely a must do destination for Dinner if you are travelling to Cairns. Great service and a welcoming atmosphere from the staff made this a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.
Can't wait to come back!
Best food coma ever , highly recommend, if your visiting Cairns , you must visit this place , it's amazing ❤🍸😁
Amazing food, quick service & friendly staff.
Recommend the fried cheese (yum) & loukomades (large serve)!!
Limoncello also a delicious treat to end the night.
Must get the saganaki and the loukoumades! Quick food service and friendly staff in an excellent location made for a great dining experience
Went here on our holiday to cairns. Had the $45 banquet which was so delicious and generous. The staff were super and friendly and accommodating to my 3 kids. Highly recommend.
Great food and service. All staff were very welcoming and warm. I'm from Melbourne and it has some great Greek places and I've been to Greece also, however this restaurant is up there with one of the best. Both of us had lamb cutlets (you get 4), one had chips, salad and tzaziki and the other mash and char grilled vegetables. Unfortunately no room for dessert, but will be back!
Liked the food. But no moussaka come on your a Greek restaurant. Nice location nice inside setting.
And tell people there is salad in the side of the mains so they don't order a extra salad to go with it.
My boyfriend and I had dinner at Yaya's on a Tuesday night. It's tucked away above the Italian restaurant below so be sure to keep your eyes open for the entry. The food, service and atmosphere was great so we returned for dinner the next night and the standards were just as good. We had to wait a while longer for our food on the second night as we ordered just after a table of 30, but we knew the food was worth the wait and didn't bring up our wait time. However, the lady in charge (sorry we didn't catch your name) was onto everyone's wait times after that large table. We didn't have to say anything but she was very gracious about the wait. She was warm, apologetic about us having to wait and more than generous to make up for it. Would highly recommend you climb the stairs to eat here. The savoury food and desserts were all tasty. Special mention of the saganaki, beef rissoles and the baklava ice cream. Even my very picky boyfriend loved everything we tried!!!
This restaurant was truly wonderful, lovely staff and the banquet was delicious. So much food for a great price! Will definitely come back next time we are in Cairns
I recommend this place for the fish. We went for dinner and had, among other fishes, a delicious coral trout. I also recommend drinking a bottle (glass) of Retzina. The staff is very welcoming, and the terrace outside very quiet and cozy.
Traditional Greek cuisine, service was excellent as was the food highly recommend this restaurant . We had the moussaka and yayas speciality , both where excellent
Walked into this place - didn't read any of the reviews. Beautiful zucchini chips - flavour flavour flavour. Red coral for mains. Difficult to find great food in Cains and this is one of the spots for it. Delicious.
