First of all, this place is a true hidden gem—very classy, clean, and brimming with culture. I apologize for some missing images on the menu that I'm uploading, but I really appreciate the pictures they include on the menu! The food is fantastic and takes me back to my grandparents' cooking.

What User dislikes about Yendidi:
This Resturant needs to hire a cook from Africa to make these meals appropriately. They also need to cook the meat in the soups to get a more authentic flavor. I ordered three types of soups and some African delicacy’s and none tasted authentic. I reallylove the menu but recommend someone who knows how to cook the food right is immediately hired. Thank you.

Such good food and they give you a ton of food. I had leftovers for the next 2 days. Honestly the best I?ve eaten in a while. Everything was priced fairly and service was speedy. I will definitely be coming back.

This place is a hidden gem in Norfolk. My family and I went on a Sunday night and were immediately seated. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The waitress helped me pronounce all the names of the foods properly, showed me how to eat with Fufu, and was just a joy to work with. We tried palm wine and sobolo for the first time, too. The food is amazing. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and was delicious. The chef even came out to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying their dinner. 10/10 I cannot wait to go back.

The first time, I was able to go in, and it wasn't crowded . The serving is enough food for three people. I was very pleased, and even though James wasn't a server, he was so very

Let me tell you. First off the customer service is amazing. We were greeted nicely and sat immediately. The restaurant was clean, nice music and ambiance overall. Any questions about the menu were answered in detail. When we placed our order andfound out one item(samosas) were out afterwards, the manager apologized and offered an alternative. We ordered the fufu,cocoyam, chicken stew, egusi soup (chicken), spring rolls, bread , and mixed vegetables. Everything was flavorful, well seasoned, hot , and overall DELICIOUS. Like I have no complaints whatsoever. I was so happy eating because it was great and I’m gladit was. Definitely will be back to try out more food. (Pics are screenshot from a video)
