Yassa African Restaurant

The food at Yassa was delicious. I will definitely go back. I have to subtract one star for the service and the atmosphere. Our server was polite, but got my order wrong and the person who brought it out just proceeded to leave it when I informed him. There was a man there handing out leaflets while we were just trying to enjoy a meal. This impacted the experience and I’m unsure why the restaurant allowed him to stay and bother patrons.

Visiting from SC. The food was amazing, my first time trying West African food such as this. The fufu was as delicious and sweet and meshed amazingly with the sauce graine. The sauce graine was cooked to perfection with shrimp and beef! Would definitely recommend!

Went for dinner for a birthday celebration. Food did not take long to arrive. Yassa is Senegalese but they serve authentic West African food including Ivory Coast Sauce Graine dish. Although the menu did not state which items were spicy, the spice was not unbearable, especially paired with the Baobab drink (it has dairy). We met the owner who was very welcoming and warm. You could tell the owner pours love into the food. Photos: 1 - Nem (appetizer) 6 for $12 2 - Thiou Curry with Lamb and Fufu 3 - Sauce Graine with Fufu 4 - Stews Menu 5 - Non-Alcoholic Beverage Menu

I ordered the Yassa lamb with aloco (sweet plantains) via the Relish app which is what we have at work. It gets delivered to a floor in my building and we pick it up from there. The order was ready by 12:15pm, the temperature was hot. It is very tasty and a very good portion. I will have some reserved for dinner. It is only 4/5 stars because of the packaging. I now make this a crucial criterion in my reviews. But I wouldn’t hesitate to come to the restaurant and order more food!

Went to this place because I wanted to try some Nigerian eats but it looks like it has so many different choices like a good variety of African eats which is better. We ended up ordering some fataya, Yassa Lamb, Dibi Lamb Senegal both with Djolof Rice and then we also had a side of plantains. Food was so busss and the serving was HUGE. Definitely try the lamb if you go here. Food was seasoned well. I definitely would come back in the future. VIBES WERE IMMACULATE. They played great RNB songs for me and my king whoever was on the aux that day was bangin! Anyways, 10/10. TRUST

I had a desire for Peanut butter stew and this placed filled it well! I’m far via delivery but the food was still hot when it arrived over an hr later. I didn’t even stop to take a picture before I dug in. Shared with my housemate. We will both be ordering in the future. Maffe - tasty with a heat that grows but it never hot. Djolof rice side - solidly stands alone but you wanna add the hot sauce to it. Next level pairing. Fufu - sweet and cools the stew perfectly. I should have gotten more. Always get extra. Plantain - perfect Sorrol & Honeydew Pineapple -both are a great choice. Hot sauce - so flavorful. It blooms on your taste buds beautifully. Don’t skip.
