Glasgow restaurant unveils new plans after announcing closure

A POPULAR Glasgow restaurant has unveiled exciting new plans after announcing its shock closure.

Yiamas on Bath Street in the city centre revealed it will be closing down on July 27, 2025, after 15 years.

However, its owners have now announced they will be opening a brand new Greek street food spot in its place.

Yianni's, named after founder Yiannis Bantouvakis, is a new concept being launched by his daughter Stascia and wife Linda, who have run Yiamas since Yiannis’ passing in 2016.

The new eatery will be located in the current Yiamas restaurant, and it will open later this summer following a full refurbishment.

Its owners say the space will be transformed into a "fast, modern gyro shop offering sit-in and takeaway".

It will be open seven days a week and it will dish up "affordable, high-quality" gyros, pies, salads, and more.

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.”
