We live over the bridge so I wasn't going to turn around, probably won't be back.

The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor.

The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

Yendidi has been on my Yelp radar for years, but never found time to try them out. Their flagship…read morelocation is in Norfolk where they even have a grocery market. A few years ago, they opened this location which has a bar and dine-in service. Sophia and I joined a friend of ours for lunch on Saturday. Let's see how the event turned out. I happened to place a reservation for our table the previous night, but since there weren't many people present, it wasn't necessary. The staff greeted us when we walked inside and got seated immediately. The decor inside was really nice. There's artwork abound, a bar and even a foosball table. Simply put, you should not be bored at a place like this. After looking at the menu, we were all ready to order. I selected their cabbage stew with chicken as the protein with plain jasmine rice and sweet plantains. Overall, the food was good. The stew was presented with medium spice so it definitely had my lips burning (a great thing) and the rice was well cooked. The plantains had flavor, but I felt it was overcooked. It has been a minute since I've eaten plantains but they were always a bit soft. The stew did have plenty of chicken but it could've been cut to slightly smaller pieces. Still, the meal had yours truly full and I did takeout. So did Sophia and our friend. All in all, I had a really nice time. The hospitality was really nice (the owner actually came to our table to check on us) and the food was plentiful. Oh yeah, we even had a robot bring our food to us. How cool is that??!! Anyways, till next time :)

My wife and I had friends coming into town over the weekend and I suggested meeting up at Yendidi,…read moreas my friend loves African cuisine. I have been to Yendidi two times prior and have had great experiences both times. However, this particular time left a LOT to be desired. I've previously visited Yendidi during the week and around late afternoon/early evening. They have good happy hour deals and they allow you to order off their lunch menu well into the evening which I appreciate. Since my friends got into town late we ended up visiting Yendidi around 7:30pm on Sunday evening. When we sat down and were getting ready to order our waitress informed us of a laundry list of food options they had run out of (chicken, shrimp, plantains, jollof rice, white rice, beef patties, bread rolls, and samosas). This really limited the availability of options that we could choose from on their extensive menu. I would highly recommend having a white board or some way of communicating what options are not available before customers sit down so that they can make an informed decision about whether to dine at this location or go somewhere else with more options. My friends ordered the goat suya and chicken suya (they apparently still had a small amount of chicken left) and they both enjoyed their appetizers. The meat was very tender and well seasoned. I was relieved that things were taking a turn for the better but unfortunately I was disappointed again. My friend ordered the pepper soup and the wrong entree came out...twice! The waitress didn't give a sincere apology and it took my friend about an hour to get the correct entree. His correct order came out around 8:45pm (Yendidi closes at 9pm) and I could tell he didn't have enough time to enjoy his food. He ate about half of it and didn't even box up the rest (likely because they were staying at a hotel). My wife and I ordered the Waakye Special with a side of sweet potato fries. Fortunately our orders were correct and our food was tasty. Though I much preferred a side of jollof rice or plantains like I normally get, I was satisfied with my meal specifically. Given the lack of food options available and the lack of accuracy with my friend's order I believe their whole meal should've been complimentary or at least significantly discounted (i.e 50% off). I was so disappointed and embarrassed that their dining experience was so subpar. I expect much more out of Yendidi since I've had such better experiences in the past and I've met the owners. I hope they reach out and make this experience right. This restaurant provides tasty authentic West African food but I highly recommend coming during the weekday and or before 7:30pm to ensure that you have the best dining experience. Also, ask for Connie, she's a super jovial waitress.

I first met Aubrena and tried her delicious cupcakes at the Vegan Food festival earlier this year…read more I saw her cupcakes were selling like hotcakes so I made my way over to her table to see what she was selling. All of the cupcakes looked yummy; however, the "Strawberry Pop-Tart" cupcake caught my eye. Girl, it was so good, I forgot they were vegan. (Not saying Vegan food isn't good, but I know one time or another we've all tried something Vegan that was missing some umph). When I heard that she does pop-ups in Selden Market I definitely had to go back to try another one, and I must say her "Cookies N' Cream" w/ Biscoff was also bussin'! BABY THESE CUPCAKES ARE EVERYTHING! Aubrena is so sweet and her cupcakes are so good that I really hope to see her do big things with her cupcake branding moving forward!

This is a storefront restaurant and wasn't busy (which meant I didn't have to wait long for my fresh meal). There is seating available, but I think this will be a to-go spot for me. I got the crab cake sandwich, which was very tasty. It came with a yummy sauce, kale, and tomato. I could do without the kale, as it wasn't soft enough for me. The sandwich was still good! It came with fries. I also got Fried Oreos (yum!) and a mixed berry muffin. I saved the muffin for breakfast a couple of days later and it held up nicely. I am looking forward to trying the milkshakes and ice cream and that chicken Philly I saw on the menu next! Oh and I really appreciated that they have a list of other vegan spots in the area displayed!
