At Yaya Mas Greek Kuzina, every visit is a journey to Greece. From the aroma of freshly baked phyllo to the first sip of our famous Freddo Cappuccino, we bring the soul of the Aegean straight to Chicago.
Our restaurant is more than a place to eat; it’s a celebration of Greek culture and tradition. We source many of our ingredients directly from Greece so every dish is authentic, flavorful, and made with love. Whether it’s our melt-in-your-mouth chicken gyros, delicate bougatsa pastries, or the signature Greek ancient bread – a rustic, lighter version of pizza – every bite tells a story.
Why Chicago Loves Yaya Mas
Open from 7 AM to 5 AM, we’re one of the few places in the city offering true Greek cuisine from early morning to late at night. Early risers enjoy the best Greek coffee and breakfast pastries, while night owls find satisfying plates long after other restaurants have closed.
We’ve become a go-to spot for university students, families, and anyone craving real Greek flavors. Guests love the lively atmosphere, welcoming staff, and the feeling that they’re part of something special – because at Yaya Mas, you are.
Tradition Lives in Our Kitchen
Our menu is rooted in recipes passed down through generations. Our own Yaya (grandmother) still works in the kitchen, carefully folding the phyllo dough for our spinach and feta pies by hand. Her touch adds a warmth and authenticity that can’t be duplicated.
