Traditional décor in York

“We have recently had a new log burner installed in our snug, replacing an old, useless gas fire. We worked with Becky in the York showroom and the install team were Tom and Matty. They were all professional and knowledgeable and we were pleased to have Tom and Matty in the house! It was a tricky job but it was carried out to a high standard and we are delighted with the result. The room has been transformed. Would happily recommend.”

“Simon is the most incredible server I have ever had. We came for a bottomless brunch for my birthday and he made sure our drinks were always filled, food was coming. He made our visit here impeccable. I would highly recommend. Worth every penny”

“Absolutely beautiful food, we ate everything. Could not fault a thing, the staff are really nice and friendly. My daughters and me had a lovely time.”

“One of the best restaurant with warm hearted people serving everyone. We had an accidental stop over in May 2023 and we really enjoyed the food”

“Yet another awesome sushi restaurant of which there seems to have been an explosion of in recent years which is fab! Beautifully light and crisp mixed tempura, gorgeous fresh sashimi (the mackerel seemed particularly good) and a delicious rainbow roll (I think it was). We then had a couple of the special desserts - apple gyozas and an ice-cream ball rolled in dessicated coconut, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. Amazing! Wonderful, friendly and polite service and lovely atmosphere. Another one to recommend!”

“The quality of ingredients and cooking technique shone through in a fabulous lunch serving at Izakaya. Attentive and friendly service with the chef coming to say hello at the end. Overall a fantastic experience, do not miss if you're visiting York.”

“Having visited the pop-up restaurant twice, I would definitely recommend Yahala Mataam. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcome and Rob and the team are fab too. Looking forward to visiting for a third time in June!”

“April 2025 update - new landlords look like they have a plan ... which sound great. Early days but she is crystal clear and the staff are great. March 2024 update - still pretty darn good. Dec 2023 and new management. 1st visit was a big success. Ales were kept perfectly and all staff very friendly. High hopes going forward. Glad to see it both open and busy.”
