Review by Karli Pacocha

I just had a delightful lunch at Yassa African Restaurant! The ambiance is cozy and vibrant, making it feel like a little slice of Senegal. πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡³ I tried the Yassa Chicken with Fried Plantains - juicy and perfectly seasoned! My son devoured the Maffe lamb stew, rich and comforting.

The ginger drink is a must-try for its unique flavor! Although parking can be tricky, the friendly service and delicious food more than make up for it. Definitely coming back for more... ✨
