The ECHO visited on Friday lunchtime to meet Futoon, 29, and Noura, 25 and hear about their work. The café is modern and stylish, with a number of nods to the sisters' Jordanian heritage. Its name Yamama is an Arabic word, which Futoon explained is a dove found in the region, which represents love, freedom and peace.

So we're thinking that this space could bring everyone celebrating by themselves together."
"We came up with the idea of a brunch menu, with a bit of dinner because we serve food until 6. For example, we decided to have everything on toast but people can have the same tastes as all the ingredients are authentic - we have a dish named after our grandma.
