Yummy House – Modern, Reliable, and Always Bustling
Just a five-minute walk from the city centre on Tomnahurich Street, Yummy House is a local favourite for anyone seeking a consistently high-quality Chinese meal. It’s a modern, well-run takeaway that has mastered the art of the “busy Friday night” rush.
The Atmosphere & Service
The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in for a collection is the noise—the phone literally never stops ringing! This is a great sign of its popularity.
Clean & Modern: The shop itself is impressively clean and features a decent waiting area if you haven’t ordered ahead.
Staff: The team is friendly and incredibly hard-working, managing a high volume of orders with professional ease.
Pro Tip: Do as the regulars do and call your order ahead of time. They are very accurate with their time estimates, and your food will usually be hot and waiting for you the moment you step inside.
The Menu: Quality Over Gimmicks
The menu is exactly what you want from a top-tier modern Chinese takeaway. Everything feels fresh, from the crispy shredded beef to their signature curry dishes.
The Munchie Box: Unlike other places where these boxes can feel like “style over substance,” the Munchie Box here is excellent. It’s packed with high-quality items (ribs, wings, chicken balls, and chips) that maintain the same standard as their main menu. It’s easily one of the best value-for-quality deals in town.
Prawn Cracker Alert: Take note—unlike some traditional takeaways, Yummy House does not include a free bag of prawn crackers with your order. If you want them, make sure to add them to your basket (they are currently priced around £3.00).
Logistics: Parking & Delivery
Parking: This is the only real “downside.” Tomnahurich Street is a very busy main road with strict parking restrictions. If you are collecting by car, you may have to hunt for a spot in a nearby side street or use the nearby retail parking.
Delivery: If parking sounds like too much hassle, their home delivery service is excellent and covers most of the Inverness area.
Final Verdict
Yummy House is a solid, 5-star contender for the best “no-fuss” Chinese in Inverness. It’s clean, the food is consistently great, and even their Munchie Boxes are a cut above the rest. Just remember to buy your crackers separately!
