Yumvillage

Easily some of the BEST food I’ve had in my entire! Considering I’ve tried so many different cuisines, I was so grateful to try something that surprised and delighted me!

After initially ordering via UberEats and realizing almost two hours later the order never reached the restaurant, my friend and I called the restaurant to place a carry out order an hour before closing. The server was kind and guided us in suggesting some of their specialties/popular items. We ordered the suya chicken with joloff rice and plaintains, lemon pepper jerk chicken with ginger curry chickpeas and jerk oxtail with truffle oil greens and turmeric rice. Everything was fresh and had such equal balances of spicy, savory and sweet. The oxtail was perfectly seasoned and cooked, tender and falling right off the bone. It was my first time trying holiday rice and suya chicken, and they both had the spicy heat I love, and the chicken’s peanut and lightly sweet flavors were amazing and truly special. The coconut rice and chickpeas were a perfect balance to the spicy lemon pepper jerk, which was a perfect zing and mellow heat. I usually would devour a good meal like this easily, but I found myself wanting to savor it and save some for leftovers! This experience was well worth the two hour wait, and I’m already waiting to go back! Grateful to have such awesome food right in the heart of my city! The world needs to know about Yumvillage! And more locations! What a gem?!
