Yamas takes its name from the Greek toast 'yamas' — short for 'stin ygeia mas,' or 'to our health' — and the restaurant frames itself around that same spirit of hospitality and togetherness. It's a family-run operation in Austin's Highland Park area, serving Greek dishes alongside cocktails in a room regulars describe as immersive, festive, and reminiscent of Greece.
Octopus and crispy feta come up often as standouts, and the kitchen offers vegetarian-friendly options alongside the rest of the menu. Service has built a reputation for warmth, with the owners themselves frequently mentioned as part of what makes the place feel welcoming.
The Infatuation rated Yamas 8/10.
