    I am never disappointed whenever I eat at Yendidi’s, whether it’s dining in or take out. You get a real taste of the culture in the food and they have a wide menu of things. Everything is well seasoned, especially if you like spicy foods and the meats are tender. 10/10

    The staffs are friendly and so inviting. The place is nice and clean. It was my first time trying egusi with goat meat. It was so delicious, and the goat meat was tender and not gamey. The fufu half was so hard I had to throw it away, but i enjoyed the other half and i wish i had more to eat it with the egusi. highly recommend anyone to try African food here. Don't knock it until you try it. I will definitely come back to try more dishes.

    My name is Appiah - The food is Awesome, the rice is very well cooked and the seasoning is perfect, the texture of the Goat meat is as perfect as the way I want it, Not undercooked or overcooked. I will definitely come back to this restaurant. Their food is awesome thanks to the hard working chef, very relaxing atmosphere.

    Nice clean colorful restaurant I ordered peanut butter spinach soup I am a vegetarian so it's good for vegetarians as well. The stew has different spice levels I am spicy eater and normal when I ask for the maximum spice at restaurants it's not spicy even Indian restaurants but this restaurant delivered what I desired it has a nice heat. The peanut butter stew is something new I tried this is my first time trying this restaurant I enjoy egusi and it's my go to dish but wanted to try something new. The peanut butter stew wasn't bad but wasn't for me because I love flavorful food and this is a savory dish with not alot of flavor. The coconut rice was a good texture. Good portions sizes the cabbage I enjoyed a nice crunch but not too crunchy good flavor but I needed more seasoning on mine. I wanted jollof rice but they didn't have any ready it was thirty minute wait which was disappointing and they were low on mest I didn't care because I don't eat it but for a customer who really was looking forward to it and drove far for it that would be disappointing. But everything was good and good customer service. I will return to try their jollof and egusi and get more cabbage. Oh they also have military discount which a bonus!!

    I’ve been to this restaurant several times, the food is top notch. My favorite so far is the Riceball with peanut butter soup & Banku with okra and my least favorite is non of them lol.

    Amazing service, amazing food quality. It's a frequent date night spot for me and my partner. We got the beef samosas, chicken stew with gravy and the oxtail stew with gravy. Their appetizers are to die for, and the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous. Nothing but good things to say about this place and I can't wait to come back.

    This place is incredible. There was so much flavor in every dish - I was stuffed halfway through! There were tons of vegan options, of which the plantains were amazing. Get the pineapple-ginger juice... it's sweet with a bite.
