Went with my husband because he likes African food. The service was not good and the atmosphere was to loud with the TV blasting loud music. The food was warm and tasteless.

This is a solid option for African food in Chicago. The food is good! I don’t like that most menu items are ala carte and the prices are high for the portion size! Still every once in a while it’s a solid option. I always get the grilled tilapia with jolof rice and add cabbage! The cabbage is bland I season it when I get home! lol

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!

The food smelled so good that we ate it all and forgot the photos. But trust, anything that you order will have a wonderful fragrance, taste and texture. Enjoy!

The snapper was fantastic! Perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The cabbage and plantains were delicious too, and the hot sauce added an amazing kick. Everything was so good—I ate every bite and left nothing behind!

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!

A dark and gloomy place, with a musty rude owner and terrible service.
I wouldn't recommend this place even if I was offered a million dollars👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
The goat was good but especially when you dip it in the onion sauce that comes with it

The worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. Customer service was horrible, food service was bad, wait staff was incompetent. And food was sub par at best! I wasn’t ever eat there again and I took the rest of my food to go because the flies were relentless. Worst experience I’ve ever had.

I've been a customer of Yassa for approximately 8 years now. I haven't dined in in quite some time but I typcially do 4 catered (Yassa Lamb) orders a year for the past 3/4 years now. Unfortunately this experience does not reflect my previous experiences. The meat temperature was terrible, either too rough or too gummy. And for some strange reason ended having more bones then meat in the pan. I understand that cooking on a larger scale can be challenging, however that's why everyone don't CATER.... I'm aware there's been staff changes and unfortunately the catering portion has been affectedtremendously. Cannot continue to justify spending $1400 yearly at this establishment. 1/10

My first time there and the young lady is already frowned up mad looking 🤦try smiling you will scare a person from there I asked her a question but I can tell she didn't want to be bothered so I asked anyway 🤣🤷 what's the difference between what I ordered and the stew on the menu she had attitude 🤦sis it's gone be ok but the food was salty and 2 many onions cut up on top of it should be optional because I didn't like that but yet again my first and last time there and no disrespect 💯to you all but my opinion

When I visited, they made me feel as though I was their family. Each time I go, the food is fresh and the environment is very friendly. My food is hot to the touch and fresh. So many more things that they offer here totally. This is the one in a lifetime experience to have.
