Family announce new Glasgow gyro spot to open at site of popular Greek Taverna
A new Greek Street food spot is set to open in Glasgow city centre, with the family behind a much-loved restaurant at the helm. Yianni's is the latest venture from the team who ran the Bath Street restaurant Yiamas for 15 years, before announcing its closure earlier this year. Named after founder Yiannis Bantouvakis, the new concept is being launched by his daughter Stascia and wife Linda, who have run Yiamas since Yiannis' passing in 2016. Located at the same Bath Street site, Yianni's will open later this summer following a full refurbishment. The space will be transformed into a fast, modern gyro shop offering sit-in and takeaway.

Aldi launches new £3 summer meal kits to help shoppers recreate viral favourite… & feel like they're on a Greek island
IF you're looking for new dinner ideas to add to your summer rotation, Aldi has just the thing. The chain's new meal kits will make you feel like you're dining out on a Greek island, and they're easy on the wallet too. 2 Aldi shoppers can now recreate their favourite Greek dishes at home, from kebabs to gyros. The meal kits are hitting shelves on Monday, May 12 and will be available for just £3.19. Shoppers can choose from Chicken, Doner Kebab, and Lamb Kofta Gyros. Aldi is bringing the taste of Greece home with these tasty fakeaway dinners. A popular street food staple in Greece, gyros typically feature marinated meat, fries, and sauces wrapped in warm flatbread. Now, Aldi is making it easier than ever for shoppers to recreate this famous dish at home. The Chicken Gyros Kit was previously available in Aldi stores, proving popular with customers. It will now return alongside two brand-new flavours for summer — Doner Kebab and Lamb Kofta. A comfort-food classic, the original kit includes chargrilled smoked chicken, seasoned fries, stone-baked flatbread, and a cooling tzatziki cucumber yoghurt sauce. Meanwhile the Doner Kebab Gyros Kit includes tender slices of roast beef with cumin, black pepper, and garlic. This is served with crispy fries, flatbread, and a sweet and sour pickled red chilli pepper sauce. Or you can opt for the Lamb Kofta Gyros Kit, which consists of sweet roasted lamb with notes of mint, rosemary, garlic, and cracked black pepper. The kit also includes crispy French fries and a classic stone-baked flatbread with a roasted red pepper, tomato, and garlic sauce. All of the kits will be available from the freezer section of Aldi, making them an easy meal to throw together after a busy summer day. And Greek food is as popular as ever, with #Gyrosrecipe surpassing 77.5 million views on TikTok recently. So why not test your hand at whipping up your own fakeaway meal this summer? And Aldi shoppers can pick up "delicious" . Food fans have also shared their excitement as another M&S dupe returns to Aldi shelves. And Aldi also caused a stir among customers after discontinuing a deli favourite. But a "delicious" £5.99 alcohol is hitting Aldi shelves ahead of the summer. 2
