    Neon sign over the kitchen

    The food is great, the guy who runs the 1-man operation was friendly, and he's got a turntable and a stack of Dixieland jazz LPs to support the mood.

    Shrimp and andouille sausage jambalaya with hush puppies
    Michael L.

    Excellent food with a good variety of choices, along with the standards (Jambalaya, pot boils, Poboys, and beignets), this local offers vegan jambalaya and vegan beignets. I've been several times and have not had a bad meal yet. Depending on how many people are in line, you should be prepared to wait a bit. However, the owner/operator is exceedingly friendly and accommodating. Plus, there are nearby shops and bars for a quick drink to help pass the time. Jazz (played on vinyl) is a pleasant diversion from the pop and/or classic rock that you usually hear in most places nowadays. There is also a small but hopefully growing collection of memorabilia and art pieces.

    The atmosphere is cozy, the Owner is the coolest and accommodated a large group very well, and the food is INCREDIBLE. Fresh, flavorful....basically like being in New Orleans Delicious. 10/10 would highly recommend.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp
    Michael R.

    The food is amazing such great flavors of the bayou. What a relief, food at a great price with a friendly staff. This is sure to be a hit, always support local and keep Ypsi real.

    Cajun chicken penne pasta
    Ashley P.

    What an awesome find. This restaurant popped up for the first time today and I just had to try it. Authentic Louisiana flavor coming from my pasta, and the seafood boil was delicious. The restaurant is adorable and welcoming, and much larger than expected. The chef was so kind and kept checking on us. I will absolutely return here. It's a must try.

    Side of Mac and cheese

    So good - the food is fantastic! I got a shrimp po' boy with coleslaw instead of lettuce a just the right amount of spicy and fried shrimp cooked to order, even crispy after the 20 min ride home. While we were waiting my daughter and I added mac and cheese which was also made to order old fashioned style with a crazy, pizza style cheese pull. We will definitely be back to eat in a few try a boil. Record player going definitely bayou style!

    Amazing food and incredible service!!! Just what ypsi needed!!! I am in love with the food and would easily call this the best restaurant around!!

    Fried okra
    Christine M.

    Me and my husband went there tonight and I got the Cajun chicken penne and he got the four cheese, grilled cheese with crab and we got jambalaya and fried okra as sides and it was absolutely amazing. Bummed I wasn't able to try the beignets but will definitely be back to try those which I don't doubt will be great too. The owner Mitchell is an amazing guy and he definitely makes you feel welcome with a great atmosphere in his restaurant..

We were escorted to our table by our lovely host, and when we arrived at our table in the back of the restaurant, there was a cute "happy birthday" table card waiting for us. This was incredibly thoughtful and a nice touch for our celebration dinner. Also, I love how this restaurant is decorated - the art work, the furniture, and plants - all come together to create a welcoming, cozy, warm atmosphere for any dining experience. I also love how the menu continuously rotates and highlights fresh produce from local suppliers. We both ordered a different dish and shared, plus we had some leftovers, so the portions are very generous. We also tried some of the oysters with vinaigrette they were fresh and delicious. To conclude our dinner, we were gifted with a DELIGHTFUL banana pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a candle to make a wish (though our wish for a wonderful meal and dining experience was throughly satisfied already ) Thanks again for a great time bellflower!

The salad was fresh and well dressed - simple but good. The second starter was sardine tin. Very very good. Not overly fishy and the garnishes served with it were perfect. For mains which are enough to share, one was the trout! Absolutely well seasoned and crispy. It is served whole and butterflied. We changed the side to the house vegetable. OMG these sautéed garden veggies were the best! The other main was a Japanese curry dish. Here is why the five starting dropped to a four. It was just ok. We would not order again. For dessert we had the bread pudding- another star for the night! To the owner, terrific staff. Everyone we engaged in, were positive and knowledgeable. They are a great team! Looking forward to a second visit!

The clientele is always older folks, and it definitely has a kind of 90s Italian restaurant vibe, but the food is great, service is legit, and the prices aren't bad for what you get. My favorites so far have been: - Rigatoni and Country Greens - Papardelle (seasonal with sausage, peas, mushrooms, pecorino) - Roasted apple and fig salad - A seasonal bruschetta thing with pears and burrata Their desserts are solid, so far we haven't had anything incredible. I wish their tiramisu was out of this world (it's our favorite), but it's not the best I've had. (Needs more espresso, was kind of dry). The chocolate mousse was good, but much more dense/thick than expected. Their cocktails are solid and they have a nice wine list, including a fun alcohol-removed sparkling wine that I've enjoyed twice now. This is becoming a staple when we just want a nice meal out since we live nearby. Good place to take family or folks from out of town if you don't want to bother booking somewhere that gets super busy or dealing with downtown parking/traffic.

The owner is so kind and you just feel so warm and welcomed when you walk in. We were given a free calzone (I believe it was a calzone) while we waited for our pizza to finish cooking and it was incredible AND vegetarian!! A huge plus for me since I'm vegetarian, but my husband also loved it. The sauces that were served with it were amazing, too. I got the chutney potato pizza and my husband got the chicken tikka masala pizza. We both agreed we would absolutely get these pizzas again. They're so flavorful and the crust has the perfect texture and chew. Overall it's always a 10/10 experience at Mama Pizza with fast and extremely friendly service along with TONS of flavor! They deserve so much support.

Who would've thought to combine a dosa with a quesadilla? This was definitely the best dosa I've ever had -- perfect amount of crunch! And the fillings were spectacular. Plus, this place is very affordable -- lots of food for the price -- bang for your buck! Plus, the owner of this place was very sweet and threw in lots of freebies. He even recognized us again the next time we came back (he brought up a conversation we had prior, which showed that he truly remembered)! Highly recommend checking out this local business in Ypsilanti, MI -- good places like these are hard to come by.
