Yassa African Restaurant

Yassa African Restaurant has served Senegalese and West African cooking in Chicago since 2004, and the current home at 35th and King Drive puts the restaurant a block from the Green Line and a short walk from Rate Field. The menu centers on chicken and fish marinated in onion and lemon and grilled, mafe peanut stew, and thieboudienne, the fish and rice dish that is Senegal’s national plate. The dining room takes reservations, handles group dinners and caters office lunches and graduations, and the restaurant has a mobile app for ordering ahead.
