UMANA YANA is a Guyanese take away. It is a family business owned by Deborah Monfries who was born and lived in Guyana until 1990. Umana Yana was named after the 'benab' (thatched roof hut outside of the Pegasus Hotel in Guyana). UMANA YANA means "The meeting place of the people". This name was chosen because it is a unique name and also because it was felt that as a take away/restaurant it is a meeting place of the people.

Amazing food served by amazing people. Would highly recommend going in person as the food is even better fresh and their personal service is outstanding. They're also a staple at the market by Herne Hill Station on a Saturday.

Very tasty food. Only disappointment was that they had run out of roti when I specifically went there for it! But I ordered the chana, potato and spinach with rice and peas which was lovely.
They even had tables and chairs outside so I could enjoy my meal comfortably 😌

Beyond any shadow of a doubt these chicken curry rotis are the best I've ever had! Seasoned to perfection. I traveled across London to try this and it was most certainly worth it, I plan on being a repeat customer. Very good service and staff are very welcoming and pleasant. A bonus is the prices are quite reasonable too. Looking forward to my next visit.

Umana Yana is the best local take-away on quality and price. Debbie is always so warm and friendly too.
A five pound box of chana curry with rice and peas (the best, moistest I have ever tasted) can with a bit of salad make two very healthy meals. The chicken, goat and other varieties are great too. Debbie's fresh chilli sauce has an amazing depth of flavour and kicks like a South American mule. You must try this place!
