Named after founder Yiannis Bantouvakis, the new concept is being launched by his daughter Stascia and wife Linda, who have run Yiamas since Yiannis’ passing in 2016.

Located in the same Bath Street site, Yianni's will open later this summer following a full refurbishment. The space will be transformed into a fast, modern gyro shop offering sit-in and takeaway.

Co-owner Stascia Bantouvakis said: “We’ve taken everything people loved about Yiamas and reimagined it for a new chapter.

“Yianni’s is a tribute to my dad and a fresh start for us. It’s still Greek food made with love - just with a new look and feel.

“We’re so excited to welcome everyone back, and to introduce Yianni’s to the city.”
