Yemsade Restaurant

Had wanted to try this spot out before. I gave the gentleman sister a ride to work but she couldn't lock her door before hand so I helped her do so. He came out and asked if I was the guy that helped his sister. I said yes. He then offered me this plate of some of the best African food I had eating. Ask me if I'm going back and the answer is. Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first time trying African food. I was disappointed. We ordered the Egusi soup and Jollof rice! We wanted goat, but they were out. So we chose beef instead. That was a BIG mistake. The beef was so tough that we couldn't eat it.. I truly believe the meat wasn't fresh.. On top of that, the Egusi soup smelled like it had intestine in it?! I was so disappointed.. I'm going to try again, but definitely not here.. Whatever you do don't get the beef..

Worst ever. Food overcooked...bad customer service. Bad small. Walked to the door and waitress was very rude.

A must try, jollof rice, pepper soup and pounded yam with egusi soup is just like home. Great atmosphere and chill people

Being raised in a Nigerian household the food was average. The menu was a piece of paper. Everyone wanted to know if I spoke Edo. (I do not). If you are a new Patron of this restaurant walking in to a empty room with tables set is normal. Just sit and get comfortable. The portions are huge. I had the Egusi stew with fish and fufu. My family enjoyed the jollof rice with beef and chicken.

Wanted to try something out of the regular routine. This place was near by with great reviews. Nevertheless to say it ended up living up to its great reviews. I order my food to go and they give me a huge portion of rice with my meal that could last me into the next day. (no complaints there) The place it self has a "homey" feel and they are extremely polite when helping you pick out what you want. The food it self is very flavorful and fulfilling, but not heavy. The plantains are cook to perfection along the serving of rice. I bought the tilapia as my meat this time and will be coming back for the chicken dish!

Not responsive at all , every time I come here for pickup I'm not acknowledged. Really went down the drain

Well they didn't have what they had on there menu,so I asked for a recommendation and I got the chicken and the fish. The fish was definitely not fresh it a stank an that made the joly rice carry a very nasty taste. So if this is supposed to be a taste of Africa I'll keep looking. Thanks but no thanks

Good food and professional service! My husband is Nigerian and he prefers homemade cooking as opposed to dining out! However, if he wants to eat Nigerian food in a restaurant, Yemsade is definitely his number one choice!

Amazing loved the customer service the food was delicious the man who works there also came out and brought us water we couldn't be happier and being that African food is all we cook and eat we can say it's definitely authentic and we were very happy with our food and will return every time we are in Texas thank you guys for your hard work and delicious food
