Co-owner Stascia Bantouvakis said: 'It's been an incredible 15 years, and we've met the most amazing people. 'Yiamas customers truly are the best, but it's time for us to move on. "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your support through the years. "We're not saying goodbye… just see you soon.' Gutted punters have flocked to social media after hearing the news. One said: "Aww I'm sorry to see this, your wee restaurant is my favourite. "Always a great meal and super friendly staff, where will I get my Keo now. "All the best for your next adventure."

Sad to see this but looking forward to see what you have planned next."
