My husband surprised me by ordering dinner from Jam Café because I've always wanted to try this…read morecuisine, but every time I've called before, they were closed. I was so excited to finally try it. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. When my husband got home with the food, we realized one of the dinners was missing. When he called the restaurant, they went back and forth with him, insisting he had the item and confusing it with a veggie tray. It was very frustrating and unprofessional. I drove all the way back from my home in Chesapeake to resolve the issue. While there, I also returned the glory greens because they were clearly not fresh or properly prepared. I asked to swap them for cabbage, but the cabbage wasn't fully cooked. After waiting an additional 10 minutes, they asked if I would prefer a refund instead. I then had to wait another five minutes just to receive the refund. Throughout the entire interaction, the staff was rude and showed no empathy for the inconvenience -- especially considering I had to drive all the way back after my husband had already brought dinner home. Overall, this was a horrible experience, and sadly, the food was even worse. I truly wanted to love this place, but I will not be returning

The last time I went there, I ordered the goat stew, almost 40 minutes before I arrive. Once I got there, they said oh we're out of goat, they asked if I wanted beef, no one called me no one communicated. I was very shocked that they had someone that supposedly is supposed to be at the front at the register. A Caucasian lady, but the whole time I was there she was in the back, talking, laughing joking. When she told me they had no goat and if I wanted beef, I said sure, but why no one never called me, no one never communicated to me that you guys were out of goat and she just stood there and looked at me crazy she didn't say oh my gosh I'm so sorry you know I'll see if I can talk to my manager to see what we can do for the inconvenience. I didn't drive, I was in a Uber. So with Uber you only have a time limit at each stop, but thankfully the Uber driver was so nice and pleasant and I explained the situation and they didn't leave me. And I had autistic individual with me as well, so that could've been very bad. I know she just looked at me crazy because she was supposed to call and reach out and let me know something. So the whole time I'm there. I'm waiting for her to you know come talk to me or something. She's in the back just laughing and joking and you know just back there not upfront. As people were coming in, she'll come poke her head out and then go back in the back. I'm like what are you here for you not to cook so. I've been to Yendidi so many times, every time I've went there's always somebody at the front whether it's a guy or a woman. I've never seen a person that's supposed to be in the front, in the kitchen the whole time as if they're cooking. When I got my food. the beef was actually goo, they only gave me three pieces of beef two medium size pieces and a small piece which I was upset about. They could've gave me like more especially I be had I had to wait. Nobody called me or anything. The pounded yam, which I was so shocked that you have to pay for separately now it's not something that you can request as a side with your meal like how you used to be able to, on DoorDash that's how it is. The pounded yam was very soggy. My only issue with this location, is they just don't seem like they really care to put effortin, Idk if they lost their spark or care to deliver great food. I think that they give mediocre because they're not really interested in sharing their culture with Americans, it feels like they give us very poor quality food because they know half of us don't know the difference. But that's a bad look because individuals who are from their culture that come and look for authentic food come and eat. I've seen reviews were they review saying how they're not making authentic food, and selling old food. So it's very unfortunate. The places that I used to get very good African food from are no longer open, which is unfortunate. Covid took them out of business or they relocated to another state, and they were really really good and consistent very pleasant. So Yen need to work on, customer service. They need to work on quality, because all it takes is for someone to open up a restaurant, serve the same food. & They really have a heart and love for cooking and seeing people enjoy wonderful food with pleasant customer service and very consistent food Quality, only takes for one business like that, to come to close a lot of places down.
