Yasas: Greek Bowls & Sandwiches (Central Harlem)
8.1
Yasas is Wonder Central Harlem’s Greek-leaning, bowl-and-sandwich concept from Iron Chef Michael Symon, serving build-your-own grain bowls, salads, and flatbread sandwiches with classics like souvlaki, feta, and tzatziki. Most mains land around the $11 range, so locals use it for lighter Greek-inspired takeout when they want something fresher than standard fast food but still casual and fast.

Beef Souvlaki & Kalamata Salad, Cauliflower & Chickpea Grain Bowl, Chicken Souvlaki & Avocado Sandwich
