Yam Yam Street is a small, welcoming gyros spot on Protaras Avenue in Paralimni, praised by reviewers as an authentic slice of Greek Cypriot street food away from the resort's more commercialised eateries. The menu centres on classic gyros wrapped with a choice of pork, beef or chicken, fresh tzatziki and a well-loved sauce selection, alongside options like beef panini with chips and simple salads. Diners repeatedly highlight the village-style cooking, describing the food as fresh and the service as quick even during busy periods.

Staff are consistently described as warm, welcoming and polite, and the restaurant keeps its toilets clean, a small but appreciated detail for a casual takeaway-and-dine-in spot. With long opening hours running from midday into the early hours of the morning, it suits both lunch stops and late-night bites. It has quickly built a loyal local following since opening as a new store in the area.
