Yemsade — Restaurant in Grand Prairie

There were some beautiful African aunties and uncles in the restaurant, dressed from head to toe in traditional Nigerian attire. Modest yet elegant, their appearance brought a smile to my face, it was refreshing to see something different from the usual social norm.

The service was excellent, although I did have one unpleasant encounter with a young man, a customer, who was rude when I asked where he was from. He simply clicked his teeth and walked out after getting his food. I don’t understand why some Nigerians can be rude to Black Americans like that, but no hard feelings... maybe he was just having a bad day.

I ended throwing them in the trash, the beef was tough I couldn’t cut it with a plastic knife & fork. I ended up throwing most of that in the trash. I really enjoyed the puff puff . It was so delicious. Customer service was excellent. I have never heard of puff puffs but they gave me some to try. I really appreciated that.
