I was super excited when a friend introduced me to this restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and the staff is extra friendly. I mentioned I like Madeleines and they gifted me an order. The food is yummy. Here's the reason I gave three stars. A tip of $20 was added to my bill that I didn't notice until later. This irks me for a couple of reasons. I paid at the register so I hadn't received food or service yet. And tips are based on my satisfaction, not added as a fee. Definitely enjoy the food but check your receipt while there.Update: To the owner, thanks for the kind offer. Please keep the tip and maybe explain the tip process better.

First time trying Yagg Sii Tenn and wow, can't say enough good things. Chef and his staff were super kind and welcoming, relaxed atmosphere (we dined in) and great food. I had the Yappa Lamb and it was phenomenal. Tasted like someone's favorite family recipe made just for us. So good! We'll be back to try more dishes from other regions (the menu lets you know what region/country the dish is from).

This food truck recently came to our elementary school for a school event, and the food was delicious! I ordered the Yassa Ganar. I normally take photos of my food, so it's a mark of how delicious this was that I just dug in and didn't take a single photo. The chicken was loaded with a sauce/rub that was flavorful and delicious. You have the opportunity to order hot or mild -- I got nervous and ordered mild with the hot sauce on the side, and boy am I glad I did that. The sauce was HOT. The sides were amazing. One was a fried rice, and the other was a sautéed vegetable that I couldn't identify, but ate all of. I would definitely eat this again.

We were so excited to find west African food, specifically Dibi lamb and chicken! Yagg Sii Tenn is located in Apex, NC (Raleigh), and sits in what appears to be a fairly new space. It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth the journey. They also do a food truck, so check out that schedule as well. The decor starts with old tires, recycled and painted with colors from various African flags. Inside, there are several tables, and an area where you can sit on the floor and eat if you'd like that experience. The owners are a husband and wife team who are very personable and friendly. The food...oh mah goodness, oh mah goodness! Flavors on flavors on flavors! And when they tell you that the hot sauce is hot...BELIEVE THEM! The lamb is tender, fish is perfectly cooked, chicken is tender and juicy, and the rice is perfect. Delicious onion sauce and cooked vegetables.The ugali has seasonings added to it, so it's not my preference as I like mine to be unseasoned, serving as a clean, starchy carrier for the bold flavors of the main foods. I'm also not big on the vermicelli noodles, they're kind of overcooked and dry. I've visited three times now, and have been satisfied each time. I want to try the maffe and African fries next.

Absolutely fantastic spot. The interior is quite fun, casual, and very clean. The service was super friendly and efficient with the worker providing incredible suggestions and insight about the options. The menu is expansive so I definitely utilized their suggestions. The food is amazing, every bit was packed with freshness and incredible flavors with everything from the meat to the sides being seasoned and cooked perfectly to accomplish great textures, the meat was fork tender while the roasted veggies had the perfect crispy crust. Additionally, the portions were perfectly sized to fill you up. The pricing was very reasonable, and while you will be filled up your tastebuds will be left craving another bite. Would highly recommend this amazing addition to the area and will definitely be returning to try the rest of their menu.Also as an fyi, added bonus is that everything is Halal

We really wanted to love the food here as we enjoy African cuisine but maybe we came on an off day. We got the jerk chicken which was extremely actually soggy. I would say it was one of the worst chicken dishes I've had in a restaurant. We aren't the people to waste food so we suffered through and ate it but none of us enjoyed it. We also didn't care much for the sides as they were dry. There were a few items on the other plate we did like such as the salad and fried plantains. I am honestly surprised they sent out the jerk chicken dish out like that, being that it was so soggy and didn't look anything like the picture. We hope to give them another chance in the future as they seemed like really nice people :)
