Yiayia’s Pappas Greek Kitchen

Yiayia's Greek Kitchen - Review - Upper Kirby - Houston - The Infatuation

"After a five-year hiatus, the Pappas family’s beloved Greek taverna (formerly Yia Yia Mary's) has resurfaced, this time in stylish new Uppy Kirby digs with a dressed-up menu to match. Inside, a floor-to-ceiling olive tree is surrounded by Greek art, a gleaming oyster bar, and covered patio. Plates here are made to be passed around: saganaki flamed with syrupy dates, beef and lamb keftedes, citrusy shrimp with roasted olives. The bar pours Greek spirits like ouzo and mastiha, small-batch wines, and signatures from a Frozen Athenian Spritz to the yogurt-topped Nefeli Lemonaki. photo credit: Claudia Casbarian We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
