I am so happy my wife and I decided to come here for dinner. The food here is so authentic and the owner who I hope you have the pleasure to meet is such a wonderful person. My wife and I love to share so we ordered the Seafood platter which comes with the grilled octopus, we also ordered the assorted cold dips and the saganaki. If you ever had saganaki you will love the presentation and once again very authentic I can't express that enough. Every bite was amazing I felt like if was eating at a restaurant in Greece. The food, the atmosphere and the amazing host you will not be disappointed. Also, you have to try the homemade sangria's it just puts it all together. To our fantastic host Adom thank you for your hospitality and your very delicious food. We had such an amazing time and what's even better is now we don't have to travel to Manhattan or to Astoria anymore when we want to have an authentic Greek meal. This is definitely my new favorite place... We will be back very soon!

WOW! We came here last night for our 9 year anniversary because we were in the mood for Greek food. Our dinner was outstanding. We got the Seafood platter which had grilled octopus, squid and shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. The lemon potatoes were also some of the best I ever had. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some good seafood. Prices are very reasonable.

I had COMPLETELY forgot about this place until I was looking for high-rated restaurants off of Morgan Ave. I used to live around the corner and would stop in here occasionally for a quick bite after work. This place was incredible. The service was on point and I remember the owner always greeting and chatting with each table. I’ve spent two months in greece and this food absolutely took me back to my short time there. So delicious - I will be back soon! :)

My mother and I had the best time here. As soon as we walked through the doors, we where greeted by Adam. He is an amazing host who cares a lot about his service. He always checked up on us, came by the table. We got to know him a bit more. Spoke to us about his background with the back story of the restaurant, he also has a great story to tell of him self, along with a great personality. I recommend everything on the menu. The one thing I didn’t have was a desert because I didn’t have room for more! I am definitely coming back for it. I had grilled octopus as an appetizer, then ordered the lamb kabob with fried potatoes. The meat was nice and soft. My mother had the lamb chops with lemon potatoes super soft and tender, I definitely recommend it here! It’s my new favorites spot!

Delicious authentic greek meals! Everything we tried was fresh and well seasoned.Good table wine. Increadiblely nice and helpfull staff. Highly recomended!

Amazing amazing experience! Met the owner, told me he survived the pandemic and I can see why. Great service and even better food! Highly recommend this place. Will definitely come back again for the delicious food. Everything is good!

Phenomenal in every way! Yia Yia's is one of my go-to spots in Bushwick. The food is always outstanding, the employees are so wonderful and the atmosphere is perfect. It's a great spot for any occasion from hanging with friends to date night. The house wine and sangria are cheap and delicious and I've never been disappointed by anything on the menu!

I am Greek and absolutely love this food. Reminds me of my Yia Yias cooking which is hard to come by. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. I don't live in Brooklyn but everytime I am there I am sure to order from Yia Yias!

Everything here is amazing! I don't know how they do it but the meat and seafood and rice and taziki are all so fresh and 10/10 and just ????

Fantastic food - we had the Calamari (must try), falafel platter and the special, which was a grilled seabass. The sangria was delicious too. Wonderful service & the lovely boss even gave us a free dessert (not pictured). Would come back!!!!!! Also here’s a cat
