Yia Yia's- Homemade Greek Food

Plates of moussaka and ladened mezze boards aren’t tucked away on Yorkville’s Upper East Side—Yia Yia’s- Homemade Greek Food sits at 404 E 69th St with a no-frills front and a parade of hungry neighbors.

Inside, the menu leans on classic flavors: generous grilled meats, slow-cooked stews, and a rotating list of small plates you can wrap in pita or nibble solo. They keep coffee flowing even after lunch, and a short wine list turns quick bites into easy weekday dinners.

Calculating carbs or counting calories doesn’t stop locals—they stock vegetarian staples alongside lighter preparations if you need a midtown reset. Framed photos of village tavernas on the walls stay ignored when a bowl of avgolemono is steaming at the counter.

Find it with a map and step off at 69th for directions: two blocks east of Lexington, dial (212) 452-1210 to lock in your order.
