05/19/2025 - Scott F.
The food at Yassa is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, reminiscent of a cozy cafí© in Senegal. I enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the grilled fish and lamb stew, both bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of my experiences with Senegalese cuisine. Despite a bit of a wait for seating, the friendly service and incredible food made the experience truly enjoyable, and I'm eager to return.
