I had a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience at this restaurant. The food was well-prepared, flavourful, and presented with care. Service was consistently attentive and professional throughout the evening. I would especially like to commend Rihanna, our server, for her warm demeanor and excellent recommendations. Additionally, the cocktails crafted by Zion, the bartender, were outstanding—both creative and perfectly balanced. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Table of 5 consensus: One of the UK’s top Jamaican restaurants! PLUS Even Jamaican grandmas agree, “high-quality Jamaican food.”. Excellent comfort food option! Authentic recreated classics, i.e., “ackee cigar.”. A main was enough to fulfil and satisfy; however, most mains required a side. Reasonably priced: 2 course meals and a side for around 30. Accommodate special meal requests. Formally welcoming staff and generally very good service. Restaurant interior and music perfectly complimented the type of cuisine served. MINUS - On a busy evening, you can expect a 30-minutes wait for your order. - “Root island slaw” tasted store-bought. - The restaurant could benefit from a quick, hassle-free table QR code payment method, with the option to self-select or equally split group payments. ORDER HISTORY Starters: * ACKEE CIGAR * RASTAMAN BLUNT Mains: * WEH U A SEH, YU AH WORK WID DE JERK * DIS YAH MEAT SWEET * A BIT OF DAT TING DERE * STEAM LIKE A DREAM Sides: * Mac & Cheese * Tossed Stir Fried Rice & Peas * Root Island Slaw * Fried Plantain * Festival Dumplings * Yam Mash Dessert: * Rum Cake

Haven’t been to Yahso since before Covid and it was better than the last time! Everything was perfect. Food, ambience, service, all seamless. We were warmly greeted and Precious took our orders. The cocktails were as good as i remembered and the food was delicious. My Dad, cousin and I had the soup, ackee and saltfish cigars and prawns for starters then steamed seabass and fried seabass with sides of rice and peas, sweet potato fries and plantain. The food has always been good here and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was brought out in a timely manner. Precious and Victoria came to ask if we were happy with our food and if we required anything else. Ellie was lovely too and all three ladies served very well. I’m glad Yahso has stepped up with their service and we will definitely be back!!!

My good American family friend bought me here for a dinner and I can tell you it's the best place for caribbean food. Atmosphere made me feel I am at home in the Caribbean. The menu description is brilliant. Cocktails and rum punch started flowing at the bar puts you in the mood for the food. I recommend this restaurant 100%. I thank hostess for a wonderful job providing such an excellent service and creating the cool and wonderful atmosphere .Really the place to sit eat relax. The young working staff there are really professional and know how to show their display true hospitality to their customers 100%.

The food was exceptional!! You have to visit !!! Big shout out to Kimone, Jasmine and Shaielle We tried calling to reserve but had no luck so turned up anyways hoping to get a seat. The beautiful Jasmine gave us a seat and started us off with the best cocktail from the bar. Service from all three staff was Immaculate and I would definitely recommend EVERYONE to come enjoy a plate of good YAHSO. The food was absolutely delicious and came out piping hot from the kitchen. We ordered almost everything on the menu. The price is more than affordable and it’s absolutely delicious. I will definitely recommend Everything we ordered. They were definitely not stingy on the portion sizes! Thank you for the amazing experience Ah YAHSO nice !!
