Greek & Mediterranean Catering in Chicago

Authentic Greek Cuisine.
True Mediterranean Flavors.

Yaya Mas Greek Kouzina is Chicago's go-to for authentic Greek and Mediterranean catering. While most Mediterranean caterers in Chicago focus on shawarma and falafel, we bring the real flavors of Greece — slow-cooked moussaka, hand-rolled spanakopita, wood-fired pinsa, and legendary gyro bars that guests remember.

We serve corporate events, weddings, private parties, and holiday gatherings across Lincoln Park, Logan Square, River North, Lakeview, Gold Coast, West Loop, and all of Chicago. Our catering starts at $150. Your delivery fee and final order details are confirmed before approval.

What Chicago Orders Most

Crowd Favorites That
Always Steal the Show

These six items appear on nearly every order — and guests always ask "where's this from?"

BYO Greek Bowl Bar
The one that turns a corporate lunch into an event. Guests build their own bowls — gyro, chicken, veggies, three sauces, feta — and suddenly everyone's talking. It never ends quietly.
Office Lunches Team Events Vegetarian-Friendly
from $165
Serves 10
Greek Mezze Platter
Tzatziki, hummus, feta, olives, dolmadakia, warm pita — it hits the table and disappears in minutes. The platter that breaks the ice at any gathering, every single time.
Most Ordered Date Nights All Events
from $55

Moussaka Tray
Layers of eggplant, ground beef, potatoes and silky bechamel — baked until golden. This is the dish people eat at Yaya Mas once and spend months trying to recreate at home. They can't.
Family Gatherings Holiday Parties Special Occasions
from $150
Serves 8
Mini Spanakopita Rolls
Crispy, flaky, packed with spinach and feta. Kids reach for them first. Adults can't stop at one. The most photographed item we cater — tiny but unforgettable.
Kid-Approved Cocktail Hours Vegetarian

Bougatsa Thessalonikis
Warm phyllo dough wrapped around vanilla custard, dusted with cinnamon and sugar. Named after the city of Thessaloniki where it's been made for centuries. People ask for the recipe. We smile and say nothing.

What to Order for
Every Occasion

Not sure where to start? Here's what our most experienced customers order for each event type.

Corporate Lunch

You need food that's easy to serve, looks impressive, and satisfies 20 different tastes — including the one vegetarian who always ends up with a sad salad. This fixes that.

  • BYO Greek Bowl Bar (everyone builds their own)
  • Greek Mezze Platter (grazing while settling in)
  • Avgolemono Soup (for the soup lovers)
  • Baklavadakia for dessert (3 bites of wow)
  • San Pellegrino or EPSA sodas

Typical order: $350–$600 for 20–30 people

Wedding & Celebrations

A full Greek spread that guests will remember. The BYO bar keeps people engaged, the mezze keeps cocktail hour flowing, and the desserts close the night beautifully.

  • BYO Gyro Bar or Chicken Gyro Bar
  • Moussaka + Pastitsio tray combo
  • Mini Spanakopita & Tiropita Rolls
  • Yaya's Greek Salad (full tray)
  • Bougatsa + Baklava Cheesecake

Typical order: $800–$1,800 for 50–100 guests

Family & Holiday Parties

The table your family gathers around. Comforting, hearty, authentic — dishes that feel homemade because they basically are. Kids demolished the spanakopita. Adults claimed the moussaka.

  • Moussaka or Pastitsio (full tray)
  • Spinach Pie tray (kids & adults)
  • Gigantes — the slow-cooked beans surprise everyone
  • Pita + Tzatziki + Hummus
  • Orange Pie (Portokalopita) for dessert

Typical order: $400–$900 for 20–40 people

About Greek & Mediterranean Cuisine

The Tradition Behind
Every Dish

Greek cuisine is one of the oldest culinary traditions in the world, rooted in the flavors of the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas. At Yaya Mas, every dish is an expression of that tradition — made with imported Greek ingredients, family recipes, and techniques passed down through generations.

Everything You Need to Know

Catering Questions,
Answered Honestly

No fluff. Real answers from the people who cook your food.

What makes Yaya Mas different from other Mediterranean caterers in Chicago? +
Most "Mediterranean" caterers in Chicago serve Middle Eastern food — shawarma, falafel, hummus. We love that food, but that's not us. We are authentically Greek — moussaka baked in our kitchen, bougatsa from a Thessaloniki recipe, spanakopita rolled by hand, wood-fired pinsa, gyros on a proper spit. We import feta directly from Greece, use Cretan graviera, and source La Molisana pasta. If you want the real flavors of the Greek islands at your Chicago event, there's nowhere else quite like us.
What is the minimum order and how does pricing work? +
Our minimum catering order is $150 in food and beverage. Delivery is a flat $45 fee regardless of order size — no percentage-based commissions, no surprise fees. Pickup is free. Individual items are priced per piece or per serving tray, and you can mix and match anything on the menu. The live pricing tool on this page shows your running total as you build your order.
How far in advance do I need to place a catering order? +
We recommend at least 24 hours advance notice for most orders. For larger events (50+ guests), custom menus, or events on Friday/Saturday, 48–72 hours is strongly preferred — we book up fast on weekends. For weddings and large corporate events, reach out as early as possible so we can hold your date. We confirm all orders within 2 hours of receiving your request.
Which neighborhoods in Chicago do you deliver catering to? +
We're based in Lincoln Park (1755 N Sheffield Ave) and deliver throughout Chicago, including:
  • Lincoln Park, Old Town, Gold Coast, Streeterville
  • Logan Square, Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ukranian Village
  • River North, West Loop, Fulton Market, South Loop
  • Lakeview, Wrigleyville, Roscoe Village, Andersonville
  • Hyde Park, Pilsen, and Chicago suburbs (contact us for availability)
Not sure if we deliver to you? Include your address in the catering request form and we'll confirm.
Do you have good options for vegetarians, vegans, or people with dietary restrictions? +
Yes — our vegetarian menu is genuinely extensive. We have dedicated vegetarian trays (briam, spinach pie, gigantes, spanakorizo), vegetarian pasta trays (6 options), vegetarian souvlaki sandwiches, all our mezze sides, and several desserts. For gluten-free needs, our soups, salads, gyro meat trays, and many sides are naturally gluten-free — mention it in your special instructions and we'll confirm. We do not currently offer a certified vegan menu, but many items are vegan by nature. Always note allergies in your request form.
How does the BYO Bar work — do you set it up? +
Our BYO bars (Gyro Bar, Chicken Gyro Bar, Greek Bowl Bar) are delivered hot and ready-to-serve in labeled containers with serving utensils, sauces on the side, and all accompaniments included. No setup service is currently included — you or your team arranges the layout. Everything is organized so setup takes about 5 minutes. For larger events requiring full setup and service staff, contact us directly to discuss options.
What are the most popular items for kids and family events? +
Kids consistently go for: Mini Spanakopita Rolls (crispy, bite-sized, they can't stop), Bougatsa Thessalonikis (warm custard phyllo — basically Greek French toast), Baklavadakia (sweet, nutty, honeyed — one piece is never enough), and Pita Bread with Tzatziki (the dipping never ends). For the full family spread, Moussaka, Pastitsio, and Spinach Pie are the most-ordered trays for birthday parties and holiday gatherings.
Can I order catering for same-day or next-day pickup? +
Same-day catering is subject to availability — call us directly for last-minute requests. Next-day orders placed by 5pm the day before are almost always accommodated. We pride ourselves on a 100% on-time delivery record and we won't take an order we can't fulfill perfectly. When in doubt, call ahead — we'll always be honest about our capacity.
Why order directly through Yaya Mas? +
Order directly to plan with our catering team, confirm dietary needs and timing, and keep every event detail in one conversation. We’ll review your request and confirm the final order before approval.
