I’ve recently moved to the Chippenham area from south London and one of the worries I had was sacrificing all the great intercontinental cuisine on offer in the metrop. in favour of the country life.
Well I needn’t have worried! Some of my favourite spots in South London are Caribbean and none of them are better than Yanni’s. The jerk chicken is delightful, juicy and full of flavor, accompanied by a couple of really zingy sauces. However, it was the curry goat that won it for me. The meat was so tender, the sauce deep, rich and warming with just the right amount of heat. And our little girl could not get enough of the rice and peas! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and it’s in a great location on the Borough Parade: perfect for a couple of quick pints in town before heading to Yanni’s for a big Caribbean dinner.
We only popped in for a quick lunch mid shop, but we will be back for a full slap up job soon.
First time celebrating a birthday, and it was lovely to try something new. A few things we wanted we not available sadly, but there was enough choice for us, and what we had was delicious. Staff very friendly and welcoming, Yanni was keen to have our honest opinion on the food.
Best Caribbean food I've ever had at a restaurant! The Chickpea curry was delicious and the portion size was generous. Staff were really friendly. There were a few items on the menu that weren't available, but what we did have was amazing.
Some of the best Caribbean food we have had. Absolutely delicious and authentic. Really nice people too. Definitely coming back!

So the food here is superb, the quality is great with the meat falling off of the bone. Seasoning was a great balance of spice and flavour. I will say however, my personal taste means I'd have preferred a little more heat, but I totally understand that I am an exception to the rule generally of British people and spice! I really enjoyed my meal, having the jerk chicken, calalloo and fried dumplings, which by the way are perfect for mopping up your plate! The staff are nice too and the whole place has a kind of popping over your friends house and their parents cooking you dinner kind of vibe, which is a refreshing change to the stuffy sit down restaurants we are used to. Give it a go you won't regret it!
Really enjoyed the takeaway. Lovely food .Food that had the home cooked vibe to it which is a major plus. Definitely will be taking a rare visit into town to visit the restaurant. 👍👍
We were a table of 17 people Sunday 28th May. We were made to feel so welcome, very personal service, even calling you by name when handing the food out. The food was phenomenal. Its clear to see that the food was homemade and fresh that day. The flavours were outstanding and all 17 of us left with massive smiles on our faces and we were still talking about it the next day. Well done guys you are running a great, honest family business and you are doing an incredible job. Thank you 😊 xx
Amazing food and Yanni is the most kind and patient host. Visited with someone I care for, not eaten a full meal for a while as he dislikes English food. Yanni went above and beyond. I look for forward to tasting the food and meeting Yanni again.
If we could give you more than five stars we would. Our love for Caribbean food, is second to none and where we live in Leeds we have some of the finest Caribbean eateries around, but Yani's tops any we've been in and that's many. Just beautiful authentic Caribbean quinine cooked to perfection. The main man Yanni himself served us both. Such a genuine caring lovely man, as we're is staff. Thanks for one of the best eating experiences, in a long time.
The food was very nice and the host super friendly.
It was a quiet part of the day, so I particularly enjoyed the lack of surrounding noise.
The portion was of good sizing too. I had been looking forwards to eating at this restaurant for months.
