Food was good, I had more meat then cassava. But for the amount you pay you get a little portion i pay less and get alot more in the cities. I wouldn’t mind going back I just don’t think you get enough food portion for your money.

I ordered from here cause they have 5 stars figured it must be good. I’m highly upset at the portion size for how much it cost. I get more and pay less in mpls. Whatever they mixed with the cassva leaf is okay. I will stick to the place I know.

African Yen was part of our catering for TEDxStCloud. They have always done an impressive job, even with huge crowds. Incredible food and a great value compared to other caterers in the St. Cloud area.
