Absolutely delicious at a great price. Food, service, atmosphere all amazing. Good pics features arugula salad, chicken stick, pork stick, and lamb on a spit (the giant one). All of my friends who I with said 5/5, HAD to write a review! I’ve been here several times, and it’s warranted!

Stumbled upon this restaurant today by chance, and we’re glad we did. Cozy and unpretentious with friendly service and an extensive menu of authentic Greek food. The prices are reasonable, the portions huge, and the food was delicious. Skewered chicken was plump and juicy, the grilled veggies were done just right, and we ate every last bit of the home made chunky tzatziki. My dining partner’s salad was topped with a slab of feta, drizzled in oil, herbs, and capers that was probably worth the price of the meal alone. For two tired and hangry travellers, it was exactly the stop we needed.

We had an exceptional experience dining at Yaya– this is our second visit, and each time has been nothing short of fantastic. The portions are generous, and the flavors are superb. The chicken and pork gyros are especially delightful – finger-licking good! The staff is incredibly hospitable and welcoming. Thank you ?we look forward to returning again and again.

This place had closed for quite awhile. Back opened so went in for a late lunch today. The music was so loud I couldn't hear my husband talking. Asked them to turn it down a bit. No problem. Ordered a large Greek Salad to start. So bland I asked for some dressing or something. She said we only put on oil, which is fine but at this time of year, tomatoes and cucumbers have absolutely no taste. You gotta spruce those things up a bit. She brought vinegar. We both ordered the chicken gyro in a pita. It was huge! But delicious. I was stuffed after that. Lovely owner brought over baklava to end the meal. Will be back, the food is great. But the place is small, no need to crank the music.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Yaya Greek Bistro in Toronto and I must say, their pork gyro dinner was a revelation! Each bite of the gyro was a perfect harmony of flavors - the pork was exceptionally juicy and tender, almost melting in my mouth. It's evident that they use high-quality ingredients and cook with a level of care that truly sets them apart. The warm, friendly atmosphere of the bistro added to the overall delightful experience. This dish alone makes Yaya Greek Bistro a standout in Toronto's culinary scene. If you're in the area and craving authentic Greek cuisine, their pork gyro dinner is an absolute must-try!

Absolutely delicious meal, and the very generous portions meant I got to enjoy leftovers the next day. Deep fried olives are amazing - way more than two of us could eat. The lamb skewer and tzaziki were great. I appreciated the bottles of ice water the server kept us stocked up

Simply put, I’m blown away by how good Yaya’s food is. The skewers are tender, juicy and flavourful. The veggies are perfectly cooked. And the pita bread and the tzatziki were the best I’ve ever had. We dined in several months ago, and just tried Uber Eats, and in both instances we weren’t disappointed. You can tell they love food, making food, and satisfying their customers.

My husband and I went here for a date night and the food was amazing. VERY generous portions which surprised me a lot (in a good way). My husband is Keto so it was nice to see he could select his own 2 side dishes for the dinner meal as no extra cost. The meat was tender and the veggies were very fresh.The host was very friendly. Wonderful music.Definitely coming back to try their other dishes!Dietary restrictions: Excellent option if you’re keto or looking for something healthier.

Hearty and fresh food prepared and served with care in a calm warm environment. We had a fantastic dinner here. I ordered the chicken gyro and my partner, the skepasti. Both were excellent. The portions were extremely generous, we took our leftovers home and have been enjoying them over the past few days.

Literally the best Greek food I've ever had. Chicken has no business tasting this good. Got the Chicken Gyro Lunch box special and going to get it probably once a week from now on

Is our third time at this restaurant but our first review. Long story short: amazing! The place is so cozy and the Greek music makes you forget the cold outside. Warm lights and a super simple but beautiful wooden environment. The attention is super kind since you enter there and they make you feel warmly welcomed! Now the food. Please ask for the Gyro dinner, it could be chicken, pork or anything but it will be always delicious. We asked for pork and chicken and both were awesome. Golden, crunchy, juicy and soft. It’s all that you need. I recommend to ask for the potatoes and the Greek salad is the fresh accent to put the crown to the dish.All the experience was really amazing in this cozy, full of love and good vibes place. Congratulations to everyone who made this restaurant possible
