Here to write a view nearly 6 years later to continue to give kudos to one of my favorite spots in…read moreDetroit! I have consistently come here to get food throughout the years and it has been so rewarding to continue to see Yum Village be such a pillar in the city and in the food industry! The service here is incredible, you don't bus anything yourself. I also noticed that the staff that day was all women, from everyone front of house to the chefs in the back as well preparing the food, which was extra fun! They are so attentive to us and even when there was a snaffoo with on of my party's orders. They paid with cash and I think perhaps that messed up the tracking of the order through the system? I'm not entirely sure. As for the food, Yum Village has maintained some of the same dishes throughout the years, while also adding and/or rotating a ton of other dishes through the menu. I can definitely confirm that the garlic parm jerk chicken remains my favorite and that the spice level, while still plentiful and intense, has eased up a bit in recent years. Either that or that I have become more spice heat-tolerant! Either way, the portions also remain huge, so there was a ton of food to take home! I love the truffle collard greens, the deeply unique and flavorful corncakes, and also the star of the show this go around was the deliciously complex fried cheesy fufu! It oozes so much flavor and is the perfect addition to any meal and very shareable as well! Keep up the great work, Yum Village!!

We came here on our first day in Detroit. The restaurant had great music playing and it has a good…read morelocation, not being too far from our airbnb. The service was pretty quick. We ordered on the tablet they have at the front counter and sat down to wait for the food to be delivered to our table. They did have happy hour going, but I don't recommend it. The drinks weren't good honestly. Not sure what was being mixed but the liquor didn't taste right. We both had the Classic Village Meal (Jerk Chicken, jollof rice, and plantains). It was good food. I loved how the jollof rice and plantains were well prepared and hot. The jerk chicken wasn't served as hot as the rice and plantains so I think they had a timing issue in the back, so that was disappointing. There is a lot of food, so we were able to take home half and have it for breakfast the next morning. We also tried to the jerk taco and it was good and hot, but awkward to eat because there so much on top and it was just falling off as I was trying to pick it up and take a bite.

We had to wait a bit as the food was FRESHLY prepared. But wow - sooo worth the wait! The chicken was lightly coated, perfectly spiced and super juicy. The yams are amazing and the plantains are also spot on. My lunch mate claimed the chicken and waffles was as good as what he enjoyed in South Carolina. He called them the "real deal". We found the owner friendly and enjoyed chatting. Definitely coming back to explore the rest of the menu!

You are able to make a reservation and definitely recommend that if you want to make sure you get a table during dinner time. Inside has a modern feel with nice cultural decor on the walls. We ordered the kumuhana (grilled chicken) and nyumbani (tender beef) rice dishes which were very filling and delicious. The food came out very quickly. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. We also got their house made passion fruit fizzy drink which was so delicious. We loved our experience and wish we could come back on a Tuesday or Wednesday when they offer different dishes.

I had lunch at Baobab Fare last weekend, and we really enjoyed our meal. Baobab Fare is an East…read moreAfrican restaurant founded by two refugees from Burundi. The restaurant is beautiful, and the menu is fantastic - we wanted everything. Ultimately, we decided to share the vegan sambusas (my mom is vegan, and we really appreciated how vegan friendly the menu is), which were delicious. Then, between the three of us, we tried: Nyumbani (tender beef, slow-simmered in ripened tomato sauce; served with fried plantains, peanut-stewed spinach, and rice); Samaki (crisp flash-fried fish garnished with tangy sauteed onions; served with fresh corn salad, fried plantains, and stewed yellow beans; and Intore (fragrant eggplant stew served with peanut-stewed spinach or savory yellow beans, and rice). We also shared a fizzy passionfruit juice (carbonated house-made passionfruit juice) and Tamu (sweet dessert pudding made from creamy avocados and tangy passion fruit, garnished with chia seeds). Of everything we ate, my only minor complaint is that the beef wasn't very tender. The Samaki (those onions on that perfectly pan-fried fish), the vegan sambusas, the spiced rice pilau, the Tamu, and the fizzy passionfruit juice were all some of my favorite bites of food from our whole long weekend in Detroit. The service could have been a bit more attentive (we waited a little bit to be welcomed and had to get our server's attention to put in some dessert and get our check when the meal was going a little long), but it was a friendly spot in addition to the beautiful space and delicious food. Overall, Baobab Fare was one of our favorite restaurants over our long weekend in Detroit. I know all three of us (vegan and non-vegans) would love to return. If you love East African food - or if you don't know much about it and want to try it - Baobab Fare is a great option for any meal!

It's located in a small building set back from the main road, and the lighting is dim, so you might miss it if you're not careful. The parking lot is also quite small. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly. The employees are behind bulletproof glass, but don't let that discourage you from enjoying one of the best meals ever! The server was kind and patient as I decided what to order. After a quick phone call, I ordered a jerk chicken meal with double rice and peas, and a curry goat meal with greens and rice and peas. The friendly gentleman informed me it would take about 10 minutes, and my food was ready exactly as promised. I always check my food before leaving any place, and everything looked and smelled amazing. The portions were generous for the price, and we could have shared a meal, but I was craving their curry goat! Since we didn't have far to drive, we started eating right away before heading home. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, and all our food was fresh and piping hot. The rice and peas were tender and flavorful. However, I must say that the curry goat was the star of the show! It was tender and moist with just the right amount of spice. My body isn't usually fond of spicy foods, but this had the perfect kick. No extra seasoning was needed on anything! We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinners and couldn't finish even a fourth of either one. Wow, what an incredible takeout experience we had from this hidden Caribbean gem! It's tucked away in a small, dimly lit building off the main road--you might miss it if you're not paying attention. The parking lot's pretty tiny, but trust me, the food is 100% worth it! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth. Sure, the staff works behind bulletproof glass, but that didn't take away from how friendly and welcoming they were. The server was super patient while I took my time deciding. After a quick call with my bae, I ordered the jerk chicken with double rice and peas, plus a curry goat meal with greens and more rice and peas. The awesome guy at the counter said it'd be ready in 10 minutes, and guess what? Right on the dot! Of course, I had to check our food before leaving--habit--and oh my gosh, it looked and smelled AMAZING. Huge portions too; honestly, we could've shared, but there was no way I was passing on that curry goat! We couldn't even wait to get home--we dug right in. The jerk chicken? Mind-blowingly good. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. The rice and peas? Tender, flavorful, and just the right texture. But let me tell you, the CURRY GOAT stole the show! Tender, moist, with the perfect hit of spice--I usually can't handle spicy food, but this was just right. No extra seasoning needed, not even a sprinkle. We were both in foodie heaven and couldn't even finish a fourth of our meals because the portions were that generous. If you're craving authentic Caribbean flavors that'll blow your mind, this spot is a MUST. Don't miss it--seriously, your taste buds will thank you!

As someone who lived in Miami for many years and ate at all the best Cuban spots regularly, I feel…read morelike I can be a little cocky when I say I really know Cuban food lol. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I ordered the beef empanadas to start. As soon as they came out I could tell they were about to be good. *They were.* They were really good. And the sauce was the best accompaniment. I could tell they were homemade and made to order and after asking the server I was proven right. Very impressive. Now the best part, my pan con bistec. Beef was super tender & tasty. The Cuban bread was buttered and pressed. Overall excellent sandwich. It was like a Cuban grandmas pan con bistec but a little more upscale and w better ingredients. Again very impressed. Between the 5 star service (hostesses and servers were all very friendly & accommodating) the beautiful outdoor seating in a busy downtown area, or the authentic, DELICIOUS Cuban food - I highly recommend Vicentes!

So we got there and we were the only ones there, it was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Friday so not much really going on, we got seated right away. The server brought us out waters and I ordered a Havana Hurricane, it was okay but did taste a little weak and I ordered the Lobster bisque soup and the Salmon à la Parilla. The Lobster Bisque was delicious but the salmon had NO flavor at all and it came with 2 plantains, spinach and rice. The Plantains had more flavor than the whole dish. The fish tasted like it just came right out of an Aldi's package and put right into the oven, just bland, even the rice and spinach had no flavoring, all you could taste was lemon and fish, lots of lemon. The staff were really nice but the food, I couldn't do it again. Sorry it just wasn't for me and I love fish.

I didn't taste any seasoning. The rice was cold with a lackluster flavor. I did enjoy my horchata as I sat at the bar waiting for my carry out. Parking is on the street.
