Yendidi Norfolk is a restaurant known for its delicious and flavorful food, taking time to prepare but worth the wait. Popular dishes include the vegan Jollof rice burrito, mackerel, egusi stew, and oxtails. The grilled chicken is described as "super seasoned and delicious" with a generous portion. The pineapple ginger drink is a favorite, and stews and soups are also highly regarded. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and is now moving to a takeout-only model, with limited inside seating, so customers should be prepared to order to go.
Many visitors praise the authentic African cuisine, noting that everything ordered is amazing. Dishes like grilled chicken with yellow rice, egusi soup with chicken and fufu, and cabbage are highly recommended. The service is friendly, with staff providing courteous recommendations and great customer service. The food is made fresh to order, and customers often enjoy the flavorful stews and the pineapple ginger drink, which can be a bit sweet but easily diluted. The Jollof rice and fried plantain (dodo) are especially popular, with some mentioning that the chips are well spiced and not typical French fries. Customers frequently express their intention to return and try more items from the menu. Overall, Yendidi Norfolk offers excellent food, friendly staff, and a cozy environment, perfect for takeout or quick dining.
