Jeremy Walton and I did a video for this place on tiktok. The food was great we had plenty of food enough for lunch the next day. We had Shrimp and rice, chicken, pineapple ginger drink, fried plantains and so much more. It was so good. It took about 25 min. So call before hand. They have wonderful customer service. We loved It. The best part I don't have to cook all weekend because of them. Amen. Ashe'. 🖤🖤🖤 Support your local businesses please.

It's been okay for the most part. I would have rated them higher where it not for the fact I wasn't really taken seriously when I informed them that I THREW UP (in their restroom) & they didn't really do anything about it. TAKE THEIR PEANUT STEW WITH CAUTION! A little bit too much maggi in their egusi. A person I know basically said that they don't have competition - meaning they can get away with things here & there.
The service is okay in general; the lady on the counter can be somewhat fresh. They have some items on the shelves & the fridges worth trying.

Ordered out to go. Food had a lot of flavor. It was delicious. Oxtail stew and the egusi soup with fufu both were a great experience. Highly recommend for those who want to try new things.

Beware when ordering Uber Eats from here. They will accept the order knowing they are out of the item and you will still be charged!!

I live in South Carolina, my daughter and I were talking about different foods we wanted to try. I told her I wanted to try African food since I've never had it. She had planned to come visit and said that she could bring it to me. I immediately placed an order and had it delivered to her home. I ordered okra soup, egusi, jollof rice, meat patties and fufu. Everything was so delicious, I can't wait for her to revisit so I can place another order.

I ordered the fufu & it was extremely watery, the amount of Dough they give you isn't enough for the soup so ask for extra .. I couldn't enjoy it. I do not recommend

My mom is a cook, so I know good food. OMGoodness. Yendidi is the best, when I travel here for ministry i just have to stop. That's my tradition. I buy and even take back to Ohio, it's that serious. Just only last summer the guy there wasn't picking the phone and I had to do a lot of driving back and forth the whole 4days I was there. I used to eat Ghanaian food in Nigeria it wasn't this good, i'm not even exaggerating. Thank you for serving a great food!!! Keep it up. I will be back in few weeks. This food is already in my head. 😆

Went here on a Saturday night because I was craving something filling and flavorful; the place thing that came to mind was Yendidi. I tried them before a long time ago and haven’t had them recently, so I was really anticipating having them again. The ordering process was quick and easy, we used their computer screens to put our orders in. Not too bad of a wait for our food. The staff were very communicative on our food status while we were waiting, which I appreciated.
My order included an Afro pie (7.5/10), I absolutely loved the sauce it came with, but I do feel like the meat inside and pie itself was dry. Sautéed green beans (10/10). Chicken Egusi soup w/ pounded yam (9/10), the flavors were amazing! I loved how savory it was; however, I do believe they switched the spice level of my soup with my sisters because I asked for none-little spice, yet my soup tasted like it was their highest spice level !! I had to keep taking breaks while eating because while it did taste really good, it was also so so spicy!
I really did enjoy my meal, despite receiving the wrong spice level in my Egusi soup. I will def return again soon.
My overall rate of experience : 8.6/10

I absolutely love this place. I will drive all the way here just for their food instead of places closer to me.
I ordered the okra soup with cow foot, medium spicy with fufu. It came with another veggie side so I chose their version of collard greens that were seasoned with old bay. I also ordered another side of plantain fufu and a Bissap (hibiscus) drink.
The soup was so good! The only issue is that the spicy was dried pepper seasoning clumped in the middle. So, some of my bites were spicy and others had no spice.
I ordered it to go for ease, but ate some of it there before meeting friends for ladies night. I’m never disappointed with the food here.
Something I noticed was that they had these plantains that I had before from Ghana, so I was excited to find them here locally.
The young lady behind the counter/one of the cooks actually surprised me because she was Jamaican and spoke patois. We laughed because I’m like “Ariana, what are you doing here?” (Nicki voice) lol. She was mostly talking on the phone and didn’t say much to me but no issues there.
The Norfolk restaurant is small inside with maybe 3 tables total. The other side of the restaurant is a small grocery store.
Parking is limited and awkward, especially if you have to make the u-turn coming from the opposite direction.

Yendidi has good food...but this location is good for takeaways only, if you want to dine go to the other one which is 15 minutes away from this location
