Yaya Mas Greek Kuzina

Yaya Mas Greek Kuzina brings straightforward Greek cooking to a spot near the Magnificent Mile, steps from Michigan Avenue in Streeterville. The kitchen leans on ingredients imported from Greece — olive oil, cheeses, spices, and phyllo dough — for a menu that runs from hand-carved beef and lamb gyros with homemade tzatziki to avgolemono soup, spanakopita and other baked pies, and bougatsa filled with vanilla custard. Greek coffee, including a freddo cappuccino, and wood-fired Greek pinsa round things out.

Regulars point to the gyro as a standout, alongside fresh ingredients, generous portions for the price, and a clean, welcoming room with attentive staff. This location follows an original opening in Lincoln Park, with another planned for Logan Square.
