Restaurant Yamass in Cuxhaven

Super buffet offer, wide selection of dishes, friendly staff

We went to this Greek restaurant on Saturday, March 22, 2025. There was nothing to complain about. The buffet had a huge selection and was very, very tasty. The gyros in Metaxa sauce was my highlight. The service and manager were very friendly. Unfortunately, my card didn't work because it said VISA, which is my regular bank card. Only EC cards are accepted, or preferably cash.

Very nice restaurant. Staff is nice and attentive. The buffet is always well refilled. There is something for everyone, including vegetarians.

Great food, very accommodating staff, everyone was very friendly and nice, Price-performance ratio is ok, the only thing that could be improved is to stick signs everywhere in front of the food so that there are no unpleasant surprises if it is spicy

The presentation was good. But somehow the food wasn't good at all 😑It's a shame...

It's super delicious food and, above all, such nice staff. We can really recommend the buffet, we've been here twice and we're thrilled. Will definitely take a look again on our next vacation.

Perfect. We had a buffet, unique. Everything was super tasty.

Food only lukewarm, sometimes over-cooked. I've eaten better.

Very tasty food. We took the buffet and were not disappointed. If we are in the area again, we would be happy to come back.

Landed here spontaneously and for me it was a 10 out of 10. The food was incredibly tasty. The staff was extremely nice. The atmosphere was completely ok and I felt very comfortable

Great service and nice restaurant. However, by Greek I mean something different. The buffet is a mix of 1/3 Greek, 1/3 German home cooking and 1/3 junk food. I mean chili cheese nuggets on a Greek buffet? We didn't like it. Dessert was frozen goods from Coppenrath & Wiese and ice cream. Really disappointing. In addition, you would have to choose the buffet because the menu didn't promise what you wanted.

Very nice and competent staff. Top very good food. Always my pleasure.

Very, very tasty and varied buffet

Participated in the evening buffet. Everything was good and tasted good. Salad, vegetables, meat and dessert. There was no wish left unfulfilled.

Great buffet with a lot of variety

Ambience functional and a bit cramped. But it's okay. The food is ok, nothing special but tasty enough. The selection is good and therefore the price-performance ratio is very good. Service is quick and friendly. You should go here during your vacation.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Went there for my husband's birthday. The good food, a decorated table and a pleasant atmosphere rounded off the evening. Thank you very much, we'll see you again soon.

The perfect pub for an evening out. For the price of 20 euros you can eat really nicely. The open buffet offers many items to choose from. Worth recommending.

We were here for the second time in a row as part of our kale hike. Not only because the kale from the buffet tasted very good again, but also because other participants who don't like kale were able to eat their fill at the extensive and delicious buffet and the service was always nice and courteous despite the packed house. We are looking forward to the year.

We were there on Saturday without a reservation and were kindly allocated a table. The buffet was sensational. Actually we just wanted to order a plated meal. Thanks to the recommendation of the extremely friendly and attentive service, we “stormed” the buffet. First-class quality. No culinary wishes remained unfulfilled. Thanks and keep it up.

We'll be back... During our summer vacation in 2024, we tried the Yamass in Döse for the first time and left full and satisfied. A Greek restaurant with a buffet selection was very well received by us and the two kids. Unfortunately, this "Greek buffet concept" is not available at the Greek restaurants in our home... The price/performance ratio is right. There was a very large, tasty selection of food and we will definitely come back next time we are in the region! Thumbs up - keep it up...

Recommended. Very nice and attentive service. Good portions and super tasty. We'll be back. Good selection. A la carte is definitely visually better.

I had a long journey by bike and found that the restaurant was closed. According to Google and the website it should be open. An absolute no-go for me. Then not!

We got a table at short notice, but it would be better to reserve. The staff was very, very hardworking and the food was absolutely delicious. I can only recommend it. Unfortunately I had trouble finding a parking space, but everything else was great.

Already been there 4 days before. Table directly on site for January 1st. reserved. Then when you come on January 1st. 25 in the evening you were told you had 1.5 hours. This was not previously stated when making the reservation! The price for the buffet was then spontaneously increased to 20.90 when cashing out ("due to holiday"). Where does it say that? Restaurant full, food varied, staff plentiful, service ok. However, the price and time issue rules out a repetition for me, as it looks like arbitrariness and profit maximization at the customer's expense.

Very nice restaurant with very friendly staff. The buffet was rich and everything was refilled very quickly, even though the restaurant was busy. The food was good and tasty. Personally, I find the price performance more than fair and I will definitely visit again.

This is our second time at this restaurant and we really like it here! Nice staff, delicious food at a good price-performance ratio! Will definitely come back and recommend it to others!

We went there for a buffet today, it was very crowded and loud. A great buffet, lots of choice, the gyros tasted very tasty. Unfortunately, a few things such as the potatoes or the meat rolls were completely cold. The desserts were also great. The service was super nice and accommodating and everyone was totally child-friendly.

We stumbled in by chance without a reservation and got a table on Friday evening... We had the choice between A la Carte and Buffett for just under €20 per person. and took this...and were not disappointed, there is something for everyone and most of it not only looked good, but also tasted very good...clear recommendation!

We had the buffet and were very satisfied 😊 everything was really tasty and the waitresses constantly refilled everything. An all around lovely evening 👍

It was our first time eating here and we tried the buffet. There was something from everyone and incredibly tasty. The service was just wonderful and everyone was totally welcoming. Our daughter fell asleep in the buggy on the way there. We therefore got another table to put them there better. When she was awake, she was offered painting materials straight after eating. They were all very attentive. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend the restaurant.

Really very good food at the buffet. Nice service and an ouzo beforehand. Everything's great 👍

Very good Greek restaurant. Very nice staff, the food at the buffet was extensive, always replenished and, above all, very tasty. Can only be recommended

We spontaneously reserved a table on Saturday, even though the restaurant was full. The buffet was very extensive, lots of choice, very clean and tidy. There are salads, starters, lots of meat, but also calamari, vegetables, even kale depending on the season, and also various desserts and ice cream. I deducted one point because some of the food wasn't particularly warm and because the gyros in Metaxa were so soggy. Otherwise there is something for everyone and it is always replenished. The staff is always really friendly and kind. There were 2 ouzos from the house. The price of 18.90 is unbeatable. We would like to come back...

Simply delicious and cheap! Eat enough or plate! Were here again. This time there was kale, Bregenwurst - if you like it - and smoked pork. Was very tasty. I can only recommend it

Thank you for everything. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed

Super tasty, top service, I'm on vacation here and have picked up several times. Simply GREAT

Despite the restaurant being fully booked and full, I received competent, friendly and quick service when ordering take-away at short notice. A free drink and an ouzo shortened my waiting time. The food was handed to me well packaged, it was very plentiful and good. Next time we will pre-book seats and look forward to good food.

A very inviting place, I can highly recommend the buffet, there is something for everyone and it tastes fantastic and the interaction with the guests is also great. I felt very welcome.

The staff is very nice, but the food is mediocre, a lot of ready-made things can sometimes be done, but often not for me

We were very lucky! After renovation work, lightning clean, in the usual form, rich, very tasty buffet. The staff super attentive and friendly. We are really looking forward to next year 😀 Stay healthy!

This was the first time I ate Greek buffet. What really convinced us was that we only had to pay EUR 4 and EUR 5 for the children (3 and 4 years old). In other restaurants there are no children's plates under €9.50, which is outrageous for pasta with tomato sauce. Buffet was rich, gyros, souvlaki etc. were delicious. Dessert included too. Ambience ok - we sat directly at the buffet, I think there are nicer places. P/L great! Come again!

Very tasty and above all inexpensive

The food was really tasty. We will come back again on our vacation. I have never eaten a buffet at a Greek restaurant, it was simply delicious. Plenty of choice.

Good food at fair prices. Especially for the little ones. We are always here when we are in Cuxhaven.

The food is top and tastes good. However, I have to deduct 2 stars just for the toilet. You really don't want to go there. Please clean the toilets and replace the toilet brushes urgently.

A sweet little restaurant that is run with a lot of love. We chose the buffet and it was really tasty. Large selection, always warm and deliciously seasoned and always enough. It was really crowded but not loud. Service perfect and very friendly. Very clean and the toilets tidy. I'm already looking forward to the next time. Thank you.

Very friendly service and very good food.

finally I don't believe it, a Greek buffet, a little dream that comes true😋 and in a rather small town. That was my thought at first. but... positive is the friendly and attentive one service to mention. The food was replenished quickly and plentifully. The selection is large and varied, the salad is fresh and tasty. The desserts and the ice cream are ready-made (which is understandable given the price). Unfortunately only 2 stars because we think the meat (possibly frozen food) is over-seasoned and the sauces are too creamy. The red rice was juicy but didn't taste good. The big disappointment was the Metaxa sauce (it was missing the fruity paprika pep). It's also bad that the fried crap (fries, spring rolls (weird with Greek), nuggets, nuggets and more nuggets are probably more for children). And even if it sounds arrogant, I make much better red rice, metaxa sauce, tzatziki, bifstekis and susukis. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio is okay. and thanks for the ouzo on the house. continued success

It was okay... but some things were finished products, but okay for the money...

100 stars for the food!!! I went on a short vacation in Cuxhaven for 2 days. Ate at Yamass 2 days in a row 😂👌Super friendly staff

We have never experienced anything like this... an incredible restaurant!!! The food is on point, the staff have a typical Nordic attitude, the guests are friendly and the prices are absolutely reasonable. We will gladly accept a 120km journey!!!

We went to yamass 6 weeks ago for the first time in 3 years. It started with the table reservation. I have reserved a table for the next day. I asked if dogs were allowed in the restaurant. That was answered in the negative. I asked if the dog was allowed into the beer garden, and he was allowed to do so. So I reserved a table for 4 people and specifically said that we had a dog with us in the beer garden. When we came the next day, I told the waitress that we had reserved a table in the beer garden. She looked in her book and said we had made reservations for inside. I said, no. I specifically said that we were coming with a dog. Then she went into the beer garden to see if there was anything available. There was a table free. We sat down. It took a whopping 20 minutes until her colleague came and asked if we wanted something to drink. After we finally had our drinks we headed to the buffet. The dishes were drowned in sauces. You could no longer tell what kind of meat it was. So three years ago the food was still great. But not anymore. That was the last time we were there. I will only visit the Greek at the ahoi bath.

Very clean and super polite staff. Always very happy again.

Great food, very courteous staff, we will dine there again this week

We had registered for a buffet meal. We didn't like it. I've eaten better in Greek. The only good thing was the staff.

Hammer. Great Greek restaurant with an all you can eat concept! Really recommended.

Very nice team, buffet was really okay for the price. You should make a reservation, unfortunately we were billed incorrectly, we only noticed it when we got home, maybe it was due to the stress. The ambience is a bit outdated.

Delicious food, very friendly and quick staff and a pleasant atmosphere. If we come to Cuxhaven again, a visit here is a must.

Attentive staff and large selection of food. You should definitely make a reservation. We'll be back.

The food was really good, we ate the Thessaloniki pans. The service and the service staff were absolutely great. Very attentive, friendly and nice. We can only recommend the restaurant.

We were there for a buffet meal. The selection is huge. Everything is freshly refilled. The service is very attentive and super friendly. No waiting for new drinks. For me in all areas ☆☆☆☆☆

Super delicious food from the buffet. 5/5

Very friendly service staff and the food tasted good. A good and plentiful selection at the buffet.

Wer Hunger hat, hier her...!!! All you can eat

I was hoping for more after the very good reviews here. I chose the turkey meat from the buffet, which unfortunately wasn't really tender, nor was the paprika schnitzel. There wasn't much choice for dessert. The sauces and side dishes were very tasty. Unfortunately, the crowd at the buffet didn't create a cozy atmosphere; it was more like an all-inclusive buffet on a summer vacation, where you're constantly pushed to the side. But the staff was very friendly!

Get a seat without a reservation. The buffet, as always, was hot and varied. Prices OK. Would love to come back. Unfortunately, parking spaces in Döse are a disaster:(

Good buffet, friendly staff, normal prices.

Greek restaurant with a rich buffet. The buffet is rich and nothing is missing. The food is tasty and the price is reasonable.

A great Greek. Perfect for anyone who likes a buffet. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. A special compliment to the boss, boss and daughter. Anyone who has something to complain about here has nothing better to do. Until next time 👍

Very cozy restaurant. The buffet offers a large and very tasty selection. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great👍keep it up!!

We ate from the buffet here, with a huge selection of Greek specialties from gyros and souflaki to tzatziki and coleslaw. Additionally there is something like pasta in tomato sauce etc. And what I had was very tasty. Plus a very fair price! Staff very friendly and quick to clear empty plates.

The food was very tasty, the staff and the boss were very friendly and attentive. Points deducted, it was sometimes very loud that you could hardly have a conversation. Definitely recommended, price/performance fits.

Suvlaki sehr lecker und saftig. Mein Mann hatte die vegetarische Pilzpfannen und fand sie auch sehr gut. Für gute Esser bietet das Restaurant ein griechisches Buffet für 18,90 EUR. Preis/Leistung top. Das Personal ist auch sehr nett.

Super friendly staff, good food and nice atmosphere.

We had dinner at Yamass with 7 people two days ago. The food was very good... something for every taste. Even though it was very full, the food was replenished quickly. We are not regular customers...we spent a long weekend in Cuxhaven. Nevertheless, we noticed the friendliness/happiness of the staff and the boss. And because most people just complain and don't praise, I would like to say a big thank you to the entire staff...we'll be happy to come back next year :) and recommend 100%. Until then….🤗🤗

We were there today for the buffet - and it was simply excellent: very friendly service, 😇large selection and everything was very tasty.😋 We can really recommend it and would be happy to come back. Thank you very much 💓 we would be happy to come back with the whole family 9 people and there was plenty of Orso for everyone, to be exact 3 pieces is a house number 😅

Always super delicious! Always great hosts! Gladly again at any time!

A really great Greek restaurant! Very tasty food, especially the buffet is highly recommended! In addition, very friendly and personable staff and a great boss!

Hello I don't like the place. It's not my taste. Others think it's good here.

A fantastically good Greek restaurant,🇬🇷😌 The girls at the service do a great job of clearing up all the plates at the table at the buffet 😇👏 Everyone can only take a slice of who comes from the catering industry (come from the catering industry yourself) But keep your distance I have rarely eaten such a delicious Greek buffet. I'm getting hungry again when I think about it.😋We'll definitely be back as a big family of 9 people 🥰

Placed a large order relatively spontaneously over the phone to be picked up. When placing the order, the lady was very friendly and conscientious. It's a bit surprising that there was a recall, but at least it was ordered for €250. The preparation should take about 40 minutes. When I showed up at the restaurant to pick it up, I was also warmly welcomed by the same lady and my order had already been packed up and placed in an obvious place. In the restaurant there was another short, friendly small talk with the staff. I found the several drink bottles that were included to be very accommodating at this point. I said a friendly goodbye and regretted that I couldn't leave a tip for the previously good service since I was on a business trip. When we arrived at the accommodation, it was portioned out. The gyros went very well with the tzatziki and the fries on the side complemented the dish. It tasted very good and if you are in the area again, you will order again! Conclusion: friendly service, delicious gyros with tzatziki and all in all a good price-performance ratio, because the portions were decent considering the price.

The food is OK. I've eaten much better Greek food. The lamb chops consisted of 80% fat. Souvlaki in contrast was very tasty. The rice and tzatziki were rather neutral in taste. Fries good. A positive highlight is the super nice team. The portions are very generous. You will definitely be full. The buffet has little to do with “Greece”. There's a little bit of everything. Everything from pasta with tomato sauce to fried squid rings is included. More for people without major culinary demands who just want to be full and want a bit of everything. We opted for food from the menu.

Very tasty and extensive buffet

After making a telephone inquiry, the two of us ate at Yamazz. The restaurant was busy at 5:30 p.m. The reception as well as the subsequent service was friendly and quick. 1 meal a la carte, 1 buffet. Both were good and tasty, recommended. Surprisingly, we were not presented with an invoice; the amount to be paid was only stated verbally. So you should keep an eye on your consumption.

First day of vacation and a very tasty meal was served, plus a good conversation with the staff... I really enjoyed it there.

We like to eat Greek, but a Greek buffet was new to us - so we just tried it out without - to be honest - having too high expectations. What can you say... just crazy, amazing, great 🤩. Cozy atmosphere, nice, attentive and friendly staff, the food was very tasty, plenty of choice of meat, fish, side dishes, salad, plus a good selection of “sweets afterwards”. We have been coming there regularly for a year and have never regretted it or experienced fluctuations in quality and service or anything similar negative. Even when the store is packed, you won't be able to see the buffet empty because fresh food is refilled so quickly. Two things that "annoy" me: - I usually can't manage to squeeze in dessert because I'm so full (everything is so delicious) - You've been on vacation in Döse every year for 7 years and the Yamass was never on your radar, for whatever reason... You have to move here to discover such a great restaurant for yourself... what do we have missed all these years 😉

So we are so overwhelmed We went on a short vacation and when we arrived we were completely frustrated with our hotel room and in the evening we decided to go out for dinner two houses away and what can we say, super delicious, super friendly, especially for people with disabilities, our daughter was given such a warm welcome. And because it was so good, we had dinner here again the next day. A big thank you to the hospitable and tasty hospitality, we will come back to you in October 🤗

Super attentive service and really fond of children. Food was very tasty with generous portions. Can highly recommend the restaurant.

This has nothing to do with being a really good Greek. Food is just underground. Prefers over food, much better and fresh. Never again!!!

Very nice staff. The food is delicious 😋. Very happy again.

The service was very friendly, the food was very good & varied & the atmosphere was appealing. I'd be happy to come again at any time.

Unfortunately, if you don't reserve, you're out of luck. Delicious, fresh buffet that is regularly replenished. Something for everyone. Friendly, hard-working staff We'll be back for sure

If I could, I would give zero stars for the food. It was bland, cold or lukewarm and carelessly provided. We won't be coming back, it was different last year. It's a shame, but there are plenty of others

First class in all of Cuxhaven. We've always been to the competition in Duhnen, but this one is worlds better, especially the buffet leaves nothing to be desired, there's even dessert and at a good price. Next time we're here we'll definitely come back!

The staff alone is worth a visit. This is where you really make friends. Funny, attentive, helpful. The food is also very tasty, the selection is large and everyone gets enough here. We'll definitely be back.

We ate there for the buffet for the first time yesterday! It was amazing and super tasty! The service was very, very friendly! I would give more stars! Will come back again on Saturday or Sunday!

We took the buffet for 18.90 euros. It was very tasty, there was a lot to choose from. It was always freshly refilled. The staff was very friendly. I wouldn't recommend coming by car, as Original OUZO is always available for free. After the second one we politely declined 😅

What a great evening! My husband and I were late. It was already 8 p.m. and the buffet will be cleared away after 8:30 p.m. (We were very kindly informed of this at the beginning and also that it would not be refilled so as not to waste food. We think it's great!). It still had everything and the food was delicious. We also had a very nice and funny exchange with the owner family. If we are in the area again, we would be happy to stop by. Keep it up!

We drove an extra ~100km yesterday. I have to say every single kilometer was worth it. Very very tasty food. The staff is friendly and in a good mood. The tzatziki is really good. A heaven on earth. Best Greek food and that as a buffet. What more could you want? I would like to drive the route again. Small update after 2 years: The visit is still very worthwhile. The staff is super nice and friendly. The food continues to be a pleasure. Very varied. Another update in August 2024: Unfortunately, I can't understand the reviews that only gave one star. The food is super delicious. The quality hasn't deteriorated one bit after so many years. And I always find the old woman spoken of to be very nice. Just like you call into the forest...you know the saying. Today I discovered tomato soup. Wow really good. But it's a bit sharper. Perfect for me. P.s. I would even give 6 stars for the friendliness
