Reviews for Yumvillage in Detroit, MI
I got a custom order of Tumeric rice, Lemon pepper jerk chicken (Bone-in), with Yam stew + Truffle Greens as sides. All of it... tasted flavorful. I never had yam stew like that before; it's a great savory side + honestly a meal I would get by itself. Now,I think all Greens should be truffle greens. Some cons I have are that there's no menu displayed over the counter, so customersneed to look at the menu online while in line. Also... Even though I ordered "bone-in chicken", I wasn't expecting some of thetiny bones. Now I know to be careful while chewing or get boneless next time. But I do think this place should do better toprevent the choking hazard ????. Overall, pretty awesome food! (Edit: Also wanted to mention: To use the restroom, you gotta aska worker to unlock it at the counter.) Read more
The food was great.. the chicken was tender, good and had a great smokey jerk flavor. The oxtails were the same and the jollof... rice was pretty awesome too. I enjoyed the food and I would Def come back. Only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is becauseI got some greens and there weren't any really there because underneath was more rice.. other than that it was good Read more
Clean, comfortable, open and bright interior. The murals outside are stunning. Chairs were padded which was nice. Staff were... fun, friendly and helpful. Food was quality, the chicken was perfectly spiced, tender and juicy. The chickpeas were crispyoutside and soft inside. The plantains were sweet and spicy, with the perfect amount of char. &&& The coconut rice? OMG thecoconut rice. It was the perfect vessel for all the things I listed above. Portions are generous, my husband and I split a bowland it was enough for the 2 of us for a light dinner and cost about $17. I'd definitely stop in again next time I'm downtown. Read more
