I did not care for the flavor and the meat was a bit undercooked and fatty for my taste

Great portion size. This meal was good but ad a Gambian/Senegalese American this is NOT the Yassa Grilled Chicken I grew up on but this was a nice little remix to traditional cuisine. Very flavorful.

This is tasty and I enjoyed it. It was a little spicier than I expected, but I would definitely order it again. The portion was very generous.

Taste is alright, but chicken was fatty, tendon-y, and about a third of the portion was basically inedible and reheated rice ends up kinda dry.
