Yinkres Nigerian Restaurant

“There are a few tables here, but most people I saw order for takeout.”

There are a few tables here, but most people I saw order for takeout. Once upon a time, during the pandemic in August 2020, my best friend and I ordered here. We really liked the food. I went back in December 2023 after her memorial service & the food is still yummy. If I remember correctly, I ordered the goat and rice dish both times. Huge servings. I made at least 2 meals out of my 1 order. Rest in Peace, dearest Ai (1981-2023).

The food is very authentic and taste great but the packaging for the meats for the jollof rice the stew was wasted in the bag as well as the delivery drivers car so we did’nt have much left to pour over the rice.

“This was my first time trying this place.”

This was my first time trying this place! When I called the lady was rude which is most expected at African restaurant sadly 🤦🏾‍♀️ when I got there the door was locked I had to call and I live 45 min away which I was in the area NP but the fact that I got home and seen it's literally one small scoop really disappointed me would not recommend and it wasn't the best I've had it was okay!🫤

“Best jollof rice in the city.”

Best jollof rice in the city! Very tasty and fresh. Tiny restaurant, you might have to call because they keep the door locked sometimes. But we are always greeted warmly when we stop in. Highly recommend

I was upset when calling to learn many of my favorites were sold out. After tasting the food I ordered, I understood why. Order early, enjoy often!
