Yassa African Restaurant offers delicious African cuisine, featuring dishes like saka, jollof rice, and sauce graine with jollof rice. The portions are generous, making them perfect for sharing. Guests are encouraged to inform the staff about any peanut allergies. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a great place to explore African food, including lamb and shrimp with fufu.
Recent reviews highlight several must-try dishes. The grilled whole fish is recommended for its crispy skin and tender inside, seasoned perfectly with onion and carrot. The Thiou curry shrimp, featuring perfectly tender shrimp and a tangy curry flavor, has also received praise, with staff suggesting lamb as another excellent choice.
Customers appreciate the respectful and loving service, with many commenting on the juiciness and flavor of dishes like Yassa Chicken and lamb, which is described as divine. The fufu is delicious and sweet, and the sauce graine is cooked to perfection with shrimp and beef. The snapper is fantastic, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The Yassa lamb with aloco (sweet plantains) is also a popular choice, with a generous portion and great taste.
