    Pasta w/ beef steak
    Mustafa N.

    Pasta with beef steak, tender beef and perfectly sauced pasta! Great value and portion is perfect for two meals. Costs $13

    Lamb shank with rice and beef with spinach and ugali
    Ray R.

    Very very good food that any person should be able to appreciate. I got the lamb shank which was tender and delicious and some beef stew type dish with spinach because I wanted to try out the ugali which was also delicious. I'd eaten fufu with my Congolese coworkers a long time ago so the ugali brought back fond memories.

    The food is authentic, delicious and memorable. The tables are always clean. I usually stick with one dish in most restaurants I go to but I've tried over 5 dishes here and i've enjoyed them all. They also have foods from different countries. The last time I was there I had an Ethiopian dish. Don't forget to try the famous tea. Overall i had a good experience.

    The dining area.

    Slow service, dirty tables and food presentation unimpressive and people that run this place don't seem to care about customer experience obviously. The staff are slow, always out of food and parking is a constant issue.

    Yasmeen cafe is the newest take on East African food! Fresh sambusa and Chipoti on our first time here. The owner and his family are so welcoming. Can't wait to keep going back!

    This small restaurant in a food court sandwiched between others was a place I've been meaning to…read moretry, but I waited until I had another stop nearby. The indoor mini mall it's inside looks fairly new, with a nice upbeat atmosphere. I wasn't expecting to find authentic African food in Lenexa. African Dream features Nigerian specialties like fufu, and that also looked tempting, but one good meal was my objective. My server Ria was gracious and helpful. She helped me select a meal for takeout, and I had a 20-minute-plus drive to reach home, where I devoured this memorable meal (had at a reasonable price) in less time than it took to drive home. I had the brisket platter with sides (served in a takeout container). The brisket was, in a word, delicious! I'll be back for sure. The cabbage and rice dish sides were nice, too, and they complemented the brisket just fine. I'm glad that I arrived in time for the last small portion of their brisket. It looks like it usually sells out at lunch, but it's Monday and the entire food court wasn't busy. It was tender and smoky, with a light au jus style sauce. Yum. Parking was just okay on the street, and most spots were taken around my near-5 p.m. arrival, but I lucked into a parallel spot very close. My only tip would be if you're a brisket hound like me, park and arrive earlier! I shall return! (5 stars!)

    I was hopeful. And then I saw the signs that said NOT SPICY. I got the smoked chicken. The chicken…read morewas really good. However, the potatoes and the other side dishes were bland. I was very disappointed. I had such high hopes make it spicy!!!!!! we can handle it. The chicken portions were very small also. Meat portion with three sides was $13 plus tip. Also is the cuisine Ethiopian? There were no descriptors.

    A friend and I went in for lunch during winter break and it was really good and quaint for the most…read morepart. We were both not very familiar with African cuisine at allllllll so we asked our young waitress for some help. She said her favorite was the peanut butter soup, so my friend got that, and I got the spicy soup, both with Fufu because we wanted to try that. My soup (it was like a stew) was really good, spicy, flavorful, and the goat meat so sooo tender and delicious. I'm always leary of goat because sometimes it's gamey and this was not! The peanut butter soup had a wonderful savory flavor as well and was so good. The fufu is a side of dough looking thing, where you eat with your fingers and dip it in the soup, is my understanding. It just reminded me of a dumpling. This restaurant was really good, and it felt like a mom and pop type shop. I want to go back and try more menu items

I waited over a hour for my food and didn't have time to check it as I was pressed for time and had to get to work. You gone make somebody wait damn near 2 hours for their food at least let the food be correct! I had already asked for a refund to where the front desk girl says your food is coming out now! I should've known how fast she put my things in a bag to tie them up, my order was going to be off!!! If I would've opened it I would've got a refund!!! The egusi was nasty and tasted burnt and had me on the toilet after taking two bites!!! The jollof rice tasted like straight tomatoes, whoever was cooking didn't even try! When you walk inside there is hardly anybody standing in the front or they're always on their phone! This once use to be my favorite spot for African food but now it's time I find a new spot!

    We hit up this little joint after a day hike when our whole group was completely famished, and it…read moredid not disappoint! It's tucked away in a bit of an unexpected location, but that's exactly where you find the best hidden gems. ​The restaurant was busy, which is always a great sign, and the staff behind the counter were fantastic--super warm and genuinely caring. You could just tell the food was going to be incredible. ​I ordered the fried plantains and the Nigerian chicken stew, which is a killer combo of Jamaican jerk chicken topped with a traditional stew, served with their special rice and cabbage. The chicken had just the right amount of kick and those incredibly deep, slow-cooked flavors. Truly one badass bird, and the sides held their own, too. ​Of course, I couldn't run away without trying dessert. I brought home a piece of raspberry lemon butter cake and a piece of chocolate butter cake. Even out of a to-go box later on, they were phenomenal. This place is warm, inviting, and serves up serious comfort food. Highly recommend going out of your way to give them a try!

    Between a sweaty day of drinking and my inaugural World Cup game, something needed to give. Wah…read moreGwan was my answer to fill that caloric void and set the table for hours more of saturated celebration. Entering this cove of Caribbean meets Nigerian, I was pressed by the woman behind the counter. According to her, I would only get plantains. In response I mustered my best antagonist energy to match. Sure enough the menu opened up before me! Remember kids, it's press or get pressed... While she offered the last oxtail, I couldn't muster yet another slab of meat in KC that day. Instead, it'd be a mackable Rasta Pasta for this white boy. After a serving of P's and Q's, my dish arrived in kind. Lucky enough to dine alone I employed my best ravenous dog impersonation, breathing all of three times in the next ten minutes. It was as if world peace actualized, even for just a moment, in that bliss of now. Four big WAHGWANS from me!
