Yumvillage - Detroit

I tried the Just Plants Village Combo at this restaurant, which included Yam stew with Sweet and Spicy Plantain and Ginger Curry Chickpeas served over Coconut/Turmeric Rice. A woman working at the restaurant recommended it as a great veggie option. The mix of textures and flavors was excellent. The place looked clean and the food was delicious.

The food at this restaurant is amazing and packed with flavor, although it leans more towards Jamaican than African cuisine. However, there are some drawbacks with ordering and pricing. The first time we visited, we found the ordering process a bit confusing, with two iPad-style ordering kiosks causing a delay for customers in front of us. Ordering in person may be more preferable as it feels more personal. The prices are quite high compared to similar restaurants, with portions seeming smaller than expected for the price. The wait time for the food was longer than desired, and when it arrived, it was not as hot as we would have liked. Despite these issues, we may consider returning in the future, but may opt for a different restaurant offering larger portions at a more reasonable price.

I recently tried the incredibly spicy and delicious jerk chicken at this restaurant. It was bursting with flavor and packed a powerful spicy kick. It was easily the best chicken dish I have had in quite some time. The chicken was perfectly complemented by the spicy rice, and every penny spent on it was well worth it.

Although it is pricey, the food nails it on the flavors. Perfectly spiced and it received the stamp of approval from my Trinidadian wife. Will eat again and recommend it to others. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100
