    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
