Snacks and appetizers include spanakopita ($4.95), egg-lemon soup ($4.25), classic Greek salad ($9.95) and a trio of tzatziki, tirokafteri cheese spread and taramasalata fish spread ($4.95). Of course, the menu includes classic entrees like a lamb gyro sandwich ($7.95), a chicken souvlaki plate with lemon potatoes ($7.95), moussaka ($14.95) and peppers and tomatoes stuffed with ground beef and rice ($14.95). The desserts lean toward lighter, healthier options like a yogurt parfait with fresh fruit ($8.50), although Yia Yia’s does give a nod to its location with a New York-style cheesecake ($4.95).
