A colorful setting with a tasty menu, Yassa brings West African cuisine to Chicago.

Located in the historic neighborhood of Bronzeville, this South Side eatery serves Senegalese fare. This includes traditional stews, meat and fish dishes and my favorite- djolof rice!

RECOMMENDATION:

DRINK: PINEAPPLE JUICE

The drinks are a hit or miss, sometimes edging on the overly sweet. The pineapple juice is just right and serves as a good complement to the savory dishes.

SIDE DISH: DJOLOF RICE

A personal favorite, this spiced, red rice perfectly accompanies any entree.

MAIN COURSE: GRILLED TILAPIA OR THIOU CURRY

Depending on whether you prefer fish or red meat, provided two options. Both are of same calibre of taste. A blend of flavors with a crispy coating for the fish and a tender slow cooked lamb meat for the curry. Pictured is also Djolof rice.

DESSERT: THIAKRY

Millet, yogurt and cinnamon, need I say more?

This is the perfect place if you want to expand your ethnic food horizons, a relaxed setting with occasional entertainment or if you want to practice your French. A must!

Tasty and a colorful locale – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
