Food was average, though lots of choice. Very noisy and system for ordering does not encourage everyone to be social but rather to play with their phones.

We eat here a lot, the upstairs food always comes quickly, why does Christophe's take more than half an hour?

Delicious food, great options for kids and colouring in sheets which kept my kids busy for ages. Really good waiting service too!

Tried again 2024, stomachache heaven ? 2023 Visited last week, no more kids menu... have to say goodbye I'm afraid ? Food is good here, we, including a toddler and 5 year old, often have brekkie here. Great selection and unusual concept, you order off the app and can't reserve a table. A little expensive but we do like it. Only one gripe not sure how often tables and floor are cleaned.
Kid-friendliness: No problem letting children in, no silly faces when they start crying either ?

Met up with friends I hadn't seen for years... some of them for 15-20, so needed somewhere to eat & catch up. One of group suggested Yalm, I'd never been before, now I can't wait to go again. We went just after 4 on a Saturday & it was the perfect time. We could pick our own table, order separately by QR code & didn't have to wait too long to be served. The only reason I've not scored 5 stars for food was the amount of food mainly desserts not available. Which considering it was early evening on a Saturday was surprising. We were there till about 8pm which was perfect as it was then getting busy & therefore louder
Parking: Castle Mall (Castle Quarter) is the closest but not as nice to park in as Chaplefield (Chantry Pl) Chaplefield had doors locked by 8pm so not sure how you get in to retrieve you car.

Update following the representatives comments on my review:
There was nothing wrong with my phone. Your own staff said about the WiFi "it never works when it gets slightly busy and is always a problem". She then told us to order with a server at the till and when we did were told just keep trying on the WiFi, it'll get there eventually... Not helpful.
Perhaps instead of arguing the toss with honest reviews and trying to blame a customer who's paid you decent money you spend time taking on board what they say as just possibly being true and talking to your staff because it certainly seemed like something that is a constant problem!
Always a bad sign when a place won't accept anything wrong being pointed out.

Urgh. What an annoying place.
You have to order online but their WiFi doesn't work because everyone is using it at the same time and there is no phone signal.
After you've faffed about for ages trying to actually order you see that most of the options aren't available.
The atmosphere was horrific. A vibe is nice. Being in a cavernous foodhall reminiscent of some boarding school canteen is not. The noise from everone shouting was just hell. They insisted on piping in music from speakers above on top of this to you know give it more atmosphere. However it just got lost in a muddled bass due to placement of the speakers.
The food was average at best. Partner had the greek option and that was okay. What I had was the most overpriced day to day nothing special burger from On The Bone. Tasteless not cooked well absolutely nothing worthwhile about it. Should be ashamed to make out they're anything more than a greasy spoon cafe.
I'm amazed how the modern world seems to tolerate such overpriced mediocrity just cos someone mentions 'street food' in the same sentence. As terrible as the Junk Yard.

Great night at Ivars' memorial jazz-jam. Friendly staff and great atmosphere with excellent beer.

Great concept, love the atmosphere and variety as they say is the spice of life. Best place to go if no one can decide what they fancy.

Great fun and great food ?
Like it upstairs especially

The disappointing thing about Yalm is it's just underwhelming. It's far from terrible, but we've been three times and each time the food has been hit and miss but always over priced. Notably the crepes from Christophe's (which are excellent) are 40% more expensive in Yalm than they are in his own creperie which is 5 minutes away. Breakfast from On The Bone was delicious but overpriced. Tacos from Baha were average and overpriced. If you're going out for a treat and don't mind the price then it'll be fine, but it's hard to justify otherwise.

A great bustling hall, filled to bursting with excellent coffee and a variety of tasty foods? we tried the wings (grill), Turkey bagel (diner) and spiced sausage (souk) and all were excellent and HUGE portions. We can?t wait to come back with our kids?. They can have delicious pizza while we try out some of the more discerning options.
Oh, and the live jazz was really special!
Thank you!
