Yayaka Greek Granny’s Corner

Category: Food & Drink

Yayaka… a greek word that is linked to everyone’s childhood memories, meaning the person that raised them, aka their granny! When our yayaka sadly passed away, she left us with a picture of our family sitting together around the table, where she would offer her most delicious treat, her famous pita made with leek and feta cheese. No one could say no to this crunchy, full of fresh ingredients, mouthwatering piece of pita. This dear feeling of being at home inspired us to create YAYAKA, where you can experience the emotions and love we received, through food and ambience.

Our recipes are based on Yayakas from all around Greece, making sure that their stories reach you through their delicacies. It is our belief that tradition should be cherished. That is why we make our pies, specifically, in the old fashioned but nonetheless artisan way: hand-rolled on a wooden board, with a slim wooden stick that gives each phyllo the perfect size, shape and texture.

Of course our yayakas had more tricks up their sleeves! Greek cuisine is vast and we are happy to be collaborating with various small businesses from all over Greece, sending us top quality products to incorporate in our menu, making sure that every bite makes you feel as if you are home.
