γειά μη (?)

[Theseus]

In this EASY GREEK video, which is about ‘the first 50+ Greek words beginners should know’ at

at approximately 8:12 the two actors are in a restaurant where the one with a shock of black hair says to the close-shaven one ‘The food here is no good; it’s better over there’. He goes to the place ‘over there’ and indicates to the close-shaven actor his approval of the different place with a thumbs up and says what seems to be γειά μη before he tucks in to his sandwich. What in fact does he say and what does it mean?

He was saying "γιάμι" ie. yummy.

I have never come across this interjection in Greek before! Of course, the English pronunciation ot the IPA shwa here is /ˈjʌm.i/, which is in Greek changed to / jam.i/, as so often happens with this English obscure vowel. Obvious after the event! Once more the faithful cougr comes to the rescue. Very many thanks yet again!
