Everyone was super nice and friendly. However i chose the beef egusi with fufu and they microwaved the meat !!! Not fresh at all. The jollof was also microwaved. For $20 a plate food needs to be fresh !! I sat to eat there and i could hear the microwave beeping. When i receieved my food the plate was super hot like it was mircowaved while other plates from my meal werent as hot. I never leave bad reviews because i know how much a review can push away new customers but for real if you want fresh food i highly reccomend buffalo suya on filmore !!

Must say I was impressed with the prompt and fast service, I felt like trying something other than my usual cuisines! Travelling from Niagara Falls to experience African culture. The staff was professional and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back to patronize this establishment, thanks for the first time experience!

So unprofessional! Every single time I pull up it’s closed. Mind you, it says open. That’s so annoying.

OMG!!! Love love love the food here! The egusi stew and okro stew both have excellent flavors. The Fufu is so soft and chewy. Absolutely delightful. My only suggestion is to add the allergy ingredients to the menu. I know alot of west African food has crayfish in it, as someone who has a reaction to shellfish I had to take medicine before I tried the dishes just to be cautious, cause it didnt say on the menu. But other than that, I absolutely love this place. Will be back!!!!

Had an amazing experience at Yalleys. I was so excited to come here and give this place a try. It did not disappoint. I ordered Buffalo Jolof Rice with Beef. Kebab - Spicy Beef with Mixed vegetables. Fried Ripe Plantains and a Bean vegetable stew. Every bite was amazing and packed with flavor.Service was great. Not many people were inside so food came out hot and quick. Server was great. Smiled and recommended a dish (Buffalo Jolof Rice) and it was really good. A cool, casual place with music playing. And looked as if they may play live music. I will def go again to try more things! Very happy with my experience and lived up to the anticipation that had built up after 2 weeks of waiting to go!

I've been to Yalleys 3 times, twice last year and again this year. I must say, the food is always hot n fresh. I absolutely love the fried rice and the chicken/fish is always made to perfection. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is also great. I love how authentic the experience is down to the music.
