Nigerian food is hard to find in Metro Detroit. It was my first time trying Fufu & Egusi, and it…read morewas delicious. The service was friendly. The restaurant isn't aesthetically appealing, so this is more of a takeout place. The menu needs to be updated to reflect current prices. There were several different versions of the menu on the counter. Prices are a bit too high for the restaurant atmosphere and location. There is a 3% credit card fee, so bring cash. Overall management of the restaurant could be improved, but the food is good and seems authentic.

Baobab Fare was hands down one of my favorite dining experiences in Detroit. The restaurant has…read moresuch a cute Afrocentric café vibe -- warm, welcoming, stylish, and full of culture. From the moment the food came out, I knew I was in for something special. Everything was packed with flavor... literally a full-on taste bud party! The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful with suggesting menu items. Service was great! I even loved the homemade juices, which were fresh and delicious. And let me tell you about the hot sauce -- absolutely amazing. It was so good I bought a couple bottles to bring all the way back home with me to California. Honestly, I wish I lived closer or that they had a location in my hometown because I would easily eat here at least once a week. If you're in Detroit, this place is a must-try.

Seriously one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. This place was a little ways away from the…read moredowntown area, but easy enough to get to by bus. For two people, without reservations, we waited about 30 minutes on an early Saturday evening. Well with the wait. The interior was nicely designed and the staff were very attentive. Ordered the Kumuhana and tried the Ji Hibiscus beverage. The drink was good, but on the sweet side. The food was amazing. Chicken was super tender, rice was cooked well, corn salad added a nice touch of freshness, and the plantains were good too. A very filling meal, I'm surprised I was able to finish it all. Would definitely come back again, if in town.

Here to write a view nearly 6 years later to continue to give kudos to one of my favorite spots in…read moreDetroit! I have consistently come here to get food throughout the years and it has been so rewarding to continue to see Yum Village be such a pillar in the city and in the food industry! The service here is incredible, you don't bus anything yourself. I also noticed that the staff that day was all women, from everyone front of house to the chefs in the back as well preparing the food, which was extra fun! They are so attentive to us and even when there was a snaffoo with on of my party's orders. They paid with cash and I think perhaps that messed up the tracking of the order through the system? I'm not entirely sure. As for the food, Yum Village has maintained some of the same dishes throughout the years, while also adding and/or rotating a ton of other dishes through the menu. I can definitely confirm that the garlic parm jerk chicken remains my favorite and that the spice level, while still plentiful and intense, has eased up a bit in recent years. Either that or that I have become more spice heat-tolerant! Either way, the portions also remain huge, so there was a ton of food to take home! I love the truffle collard greens, the deeply unique and flavorful corncakes, and also the star of the show this go around was the deliciously complex fried cheesy fufu! It oozes so much flavor and is the perfect addition to any meal and very shareable as well! Keep up the great work, Yum Village!!

WOW this food is incredible! SO packed with flavor, spicy and sweet and savory. Went with a couple…read morefriends for lunch and I got the Classic Village Combo with jerk chicken, jollof rice, sweet and spicy plaintain, and I also got a side of the truffle oil collards. Everything was DELICIOUS! A kind of spicy that slowly builds too, which I found really pleasant. I also tried bites off some of friends' orders, like a bit of cornbread, the fried cheesy fufu, the garlic parm chicken. Everything was so good. Huge portions! Even the smallest size option was enough food to have leftovers for at least another big meal. They have bigger size options too for the extra hungry. Only bumping it down a star because they had some trouble with one of my friends' order. I guess it didn't go through to the kitchen, but one of the ladies noticed and asked my friend for her receipt so they could get her food going. However, seemed like they then lost that too because it wasn't until after two of us got our food and had been munching for a bit that they realized no one had started on our friend's order. Came out fast after that. Easily 5 stars without the ordering hiccup!

I don't understand what the point in giving me a 2" x 2" chunk of bone honestly half of the meat was giant bone and cartilage. The flavor was pretty good and the rice was extremely salty, I'd pass on that, but the fish pockets were really good. Those were amazing on flavor.. just beware spending $30 on a bunch of chunks of inedible bone was not worth it at all.

I've been to the food truck 3 or so times and have gotten fufu, egusi soup with goat, puff puff,…read moreand iced Zobo. The fufu was a good consistency wrapped in cling wrap so it doesn't stick to the packaging and can be eaten fully. The egusi is rich and flavorful; I definitely wish there was more of a spice to it but I have only ever had egusi from here so I don't know if culturally, it is meant to have more spice than that. Regardless, it's very tasty and I usually get a decent amount of goat in there. The puff puff is always delightfully soft and the perfect amount of sweetness to end my meal. The Zobo tea is very much not for me, the cinnamon along with ginger and hibiscus is something my tongue didn't like, but that's just a taste preference thing, I believe it was made well. As far as service, the lady who takes my order is always very kind and helpful. I appreciate her a lot. Her patience, especially when I first ordered, was greatly appreciated. This may be dramatic, but I found out later in life that I'm Nigerian and didn't get to enjoy my culture so she helped me pick the right things and it was a great encouragement to me. The chef is kind as well but we haven't had many interactions. As far as ambiance, I always get it next to the A2 farmers market which I love a lot because I get to walk around! Overall, I really love fork in Nigeria. My only cons are that it's a little expensive (one meal usually costs me $25-$30 for one person) and the wait can occasionally be a little longer but I don't mind it. Also, one time I got there right when they said they were going to open and they were an hour late. Other than that I've had amazing experiences here and can't wait to have more.
