I stopped here after visiting the Wright museum last week and it did not disappoint. The food was really good and hot. The plate was brought to my table with napkins! The rice, chicken, and plantains were really good. It was more than enough for lunch and dinner for me, but unfortunately, I couldn’t take my leftovers ... because I had to drive back to Chicago. The customer service was really good. People were walking around asking me if I needed anything. I will definitely visit this location again!!! Read More

Did the daily bowl and it was nuts. SO good. Got it like 5 minutes after ordering and it was loaded. Everything complimented each other. Staff was super nice. Price was excellent. Highly recommend going for the spicy jollof rice and the chow chow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dishes are you best known for?
Our village meals are what people come back for: Jerk Chicken over rice with sweet and spicy plantains in the Classic Village Meal, slow-cooked halal Jerk Oxtails, peanut dry-rubbed Suya Fried Chicken, and penne tossed in creamy, spicy jerk sauce for our Rasta Pasta. On the plant-based side, try the Vegan Maafe Stew, a rich West African stew made with peanut butter and tomatoes.
What type of cuisine do you serve?
We cook Afro-Caribbean food. Yum Village was born out of Chef Godwin's Nigerian upbringing and the rich flavors of his youth, so West African plates like fufu and our stews sit next to jerk and curry on the same menu. Our menu also has vegan, vegetarian, and halal options, so there's something for everyone.
