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!!!...

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.

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...
