We made a quick stop for food on our road trip. This restaurant was easily one of the best foods I…read morehad in Ontario. It may be because the spices tasted similar to what I've tried in Indian foods. The food came out quickly and hot. The chicken was so juicy. The meat fell right off the bones. Rice was seasoned and soup was amazing. There was so much food. Even though I ordered the 1 chicken leg, I couldn't finish everything. So much food for an affordable price. Don't expect a fancy restaurant. It's more of a well-loved hole in the wall type place with amazing food. I wish we could've stopped by on our way home too.

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!!

We came here on our first day in Detroit. The restaurant had great music playing and it has a good…read morelocation, not being too far from our airbnb. The service was pretty quick. We ordered on the tablet they have at the front counter and sat down to wait for the food to be delivered to our table. They did have happy hour going, but I don't recommend it. The drinks weren't good honestly. Not sure what was being mixed but the liquor didn't taste right. We both had the Classic Village Meal (Jerk Chicken, jollof rice, and plantains). It was good food. I loved how the jollof rice and plantains were well prepared and hot. The jerk chicken wasn't served as hot as the rice and plantains so I think they had a timing issue in the back, so that was disappointing. There is a lot of food, so we were able to take home half and have it for breakfast the next morning. We also tried to the jerk taco and it was good and hot, but awkward to eat because there so much on top and it was just falling off as I was trying to pick it up and take a bite.

The restaurant itself looks unclean to me, it is definitely a hole in the wall type place. I never really stuck around to eat in the restaurant. However, what the place lacks in appearance it made up for in food. The food is spicy for sure, so beware. However, at the same time it is delicious, the rice is usually quite well, the serving sizes are large, and the people are relatively friendly. The variety is not extremely good, but they do a smaller amount of food extremely well.

The food was delicious overall. The Intore was definitely the highlight--flavorful, well-seasoned, and with just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. My only disappointment was the value of some of the sides. The beans were good, but $7 felt steep for a portion that was around half a cup. The shokola was also quite small for $9. That said, I would absolutely recommend Baobab. I plan to go back and next time I'll stick with the main courses.
