Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Yaya Mas in Lincoln Park is the rare Chicago kitchen that pulls off counter-service Greek without losing the soul of a family table. The room reads like a market — shelves stacked with imported groceries, every olive oil, herb and cheese flown in from Greece — and the gyros are hand-carved fresh, the bougatsa baked every morning from 8 AM. Order the Classic Greek Gyro, beef and lamb on warm pita with house tzatziki, tomato and onion (the Gyro Plate runs about $17.50). The spanakopita earns its keep with a genuinely generous spinach-to-feta ratio, and you do not skip the baklava cheesecake — crispy phyllo, smooth cake, nutty base, never cloying. Pair it with a Freddo cappuccino, which they'll tell you is the only authentic Greek cold coffee in town. Most dishes land in the $8–$21 range, so a group can eat well without negotiating. The real flex: it's open until 5 AM most nights, making it one of the city's best late-night Mediterranean options. With Logan Square and River North arriving in 2026, this one's only growing.
