Could management please consider looking into the safe food storage and handling practices at the Creekshire location? Following two recent trips, I have unfortunately gotten pretty sick, and since my partner got sick also after one of these visits, it seems that the Creekshire Yamas might be the common denominator. I do have a significant dairy intolerance, which has never been an issue with eating here in the past, but I have noticed that during the preparation of my partner’s meal last night, the person making his bowl, slung feta right across two different vegetable compartments, dribbling cheese into them. If this kind of contamination isn’t what is causing the issue (which it very well could be), then please look into your safe storage practices.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options galore. But be aware of what may dribble into the vegetable compartments while they’re preparing food.

I was initially apprehensive at first bc I was in the mood for a sit-down type of restaurant but then I saw all the food and toppings and the quality looked so good (and it was!!!). I've never been here so was a little slow to pick, but the attendant was sooo sweet and helpful in "guiding me" through my choices. Generous portions if you're hungry. Good clean protein which was delicious (thanks for serving chicken breast instead of thighs!!!). Vegans/vegetarians, you will easily feel welcomed here too! Everything was flavorful. I made my own bowl bc I was hungry and have a big appetite and the amount of food I got was more than enough to satisfy me. Place is clean. You can tell whoever owns/runs this place REALLY cares and thought about a lot of little things. For example, over by the drinks/silverware, they also have a bottle of EVOO available (I LOVE topping most of my foods with EVOO) as well as eco friendly to-go bowls, bc they know you're likely going to be full. Prices for bowls are in the teens, but considering the portions, options, health, and quality you really do get plenty for that price. I fully recommend!.

My toddler daughters and I enjoyed an excellent lunch here after a visit to the nearby Kaleidium. It was exactly what we needed: a quiet, healthy lunch in an uncrowded and clean restaurant. Excellent food and service. We’ll be back.

A locally-owned Middle Eastern version of a "Chipotle." Items added at counter to create a salad or sandwich. Be forewarned - all protein (lamb, chicken, gyro, feta, etc.) is very salty - as well as condiment items. It seems that there's no way to avoid. Also - and this is really sneaky...they add a 2.75% hidden "operational fee" to all bills! Not an automatic "tip", not a "back of the house" charge...when I saw it on my invoice, I asked cashier what it was. She shrugged, and said that "it's there to cover inflation". Really? What B.S. Why not be honest and just increase posted prices?

Came by after visiting, and the service and food were absolutely wonderful! That staff is very kind and helpful especially with an allergy. I had the traditional gyro and it was great!! Will definitely come back for more whenever I'm in the area!!

I have to give Yamas some credit here - I am super picky about Mediterranean food (meaning I don't really eat it), but Yamas has several different ways to eat a dish with several different toppings that I like! We went the other day and I decided on a pita sandwich with rice, feta, corn, kafta, and sauces - and while I wasn't a fan of the kafta (it's a me thing not a them thing), my pita sandwich dipped in their garlic sauce was enough to satisfy me for dinner. There's just something totally craveable about bread and sauce for me. I also got the baklava and I promise you this is the best baklava I've ever had. There's an abundance of honey which makes it less dry than the other baklavas I've had. The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. The line goes super fast which we love to see!
