“Definately worth a visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Me and my wife were in Margate over the weekend and were drawn to Yama's because of the reviews online and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent; I had the red curry with prawns with vegetables and steamed rice. Also, they ask how spicey you would like it - 'Thai spicey', or English spicey', take your pick. And... More

“another lovely meal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Thank you for yet another lovely feast. My husband and I have been here several times over the last few weeks - infact I think we are addicted! Terry, the owner, has a relaxed and disarming personality and is always happy to pass the time of day. Pan creates superb freshly prepared food (in a tiny space) and is clearly... More

“Not pretending to be something it isn't”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Yama's is a cafe and it isn't trying to be anything else. Anyone who's been to Thailand will recognise the authentic, fresh flavours. Everything is individually cooked and you can choose how spicy or mild you would like it. I can't fault it and it's great value for money.

“Amazing flavours and incredible service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013 via mobile

The food here is sublime with amazing flavours. The portion sizes are ample and they are more than happy to accommodate your needs. Fab value for money-they should charge more! Really great genuine family run feel. Couldn't recommend higher

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013 via mobile

I just happened to ask if the chef could cook me a DIET meal without fat etc. I didnt expect a yes, Pan the chef made me a fab meal with a smile. My friend had a mouth watering pad tee? We both said that we wouldnt have got that service anywhere else. Thank you Noi, Terry and Pan.

“Dirty restaurant and food was ok”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

I went here because of the reviews on trip advisor. The decor in the resturant is really bad, and everything felt sticky. From where you eat you could see a back room with dirty pots and pans piled high. I commend the chef, who cooks in front of the resturant, I can see he is trying to do something different... More
