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 yo

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 s

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.

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.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jazmine Brown · May 2025

First time ordering here. I initially place an order for Egusi Stew protein was lamb and Fufu oh and a side of cabbage. I called my order in and by the time I got there the cashier informed me that they didn’t have lamb so I went with the beef. I had about another 20 min wait and decided to eat inside because hey I was on a quick lunch break. There were only two table so I had to make it work. The stew was tasty but the beef was pretty tuff. The cabbage was sweet like sugar was added, that’s a solid no for me. Overall I’d eat here again. I’d go back just to try the lamb. 🥰
