We found Yaya's Kitchen from a Google restaurant review search since It was our first visit to London, Ontario. We went purely by their 5 star reviews with no expectations and found out it was their Afro-Vegan Tasting Menu. What an absolute hidden Gem. It was a delicious 4-course meal! The owners were so friendly, service was excellent, and they walked us through each course, explaining the ingredients and the stories behind the dishes. Everything from the beautiful plating, their own Spotify playlist, and ambiance made the experience more rich. Highly recommended. They're only open Fridays and Saturdays. Check out their Facebook page for more information. Thank you! - E and M.

London's best dinner option, hands down! The dining experience is truly exceptional - all you need to do is show up and let the welcoming staff take care of you. Did the blind tasting menu and was completely blown away by the incredible flavors and innovative dishes. It's clear that the chefs take risks and they absolutely pay off.The awards this restaurant has earned are well-deserved.From start to finish, the meal was an unforgettable experience that you will want to share with family & friends.The outstanding food make this restaurant a must-visit for locals and visitors alike.Reservations ahead are required.

A curated dining experience that showcases the significance of how each dish is prepared. Truly one of London's most incredible culinary gems.

WOW. This Pan-African + diaspora dinning experience rates among the top meals of my life (and I’ve traveled the world collecting my top meals - they are rarely at Michelin starred restaurants). This couple combines flavors and ingredients from the Black experience around the world in unique ways that result in culinary delight. Each dish comes with an explanation placing it context that enhances the experience the way a top sommelier can increase your enjoyment of a wine.I was there for a Friday vegan tasting menu: if all vegan food were so good I’d never crave eating meat again. My only regret is that I don’t live anywhere near London, Ontario so going back won’t be easy. If I were a local I’d be a regular. Undoubtedly one of the, if not the, best dining experiences in town (having been in town only a week, I’ll admit I could have missed something)

This was by far the best food experience I’ve had in London. We did the 7 course blind tasting with an awesome variety of flavours and textures to experience with a wine pairing. The food was not only delicious but the food presentation was on point and the team presenting the meal did an excellent job of explaining the core elements of each course and why they were selected.

We went there for diner with the family. The food was AMAZING and we got to taste flavours that we have never tried before.Alongside the food, Melvin (the owner) was telling us stories about how he came up with the different plates and combinasion of flavours. It really added to the whole experience.We will be back for sure and I would encourage you to try it out. Trust me, you won't be disapointed.

Always an experience! If you haven't attended the supper club, you do not know what you are missing. Stories and food. Can't get any better with your local griot telling you how things are made.. do yourself favor and go. Totally worth it. Colette

Not only was the food delicious, it was also a breath of fresh air as the food had influences from all across different Afro-Caribbean cultures.The ice in my zobo being shaped like a hibiscus flower was a cheeky touch. Loved the experience!

Lovely evening. Would highly recommend. The food was delicious and the presentation wonderful. It was an intimate setting and both my husband and I enjoyed experiencing different cultures through food.

Fantastic meal at Yaya’s Kitchen last night. It was an eight course African inspired dinner with wine pairings with three of the courses. The flavors, presentation and uniqueness of all the dishes was simply perfection. What a great addition to the London food scene.Each dish was explained in full detail of ingredients, cooking methods and sometimes the unique vegetables (that I’ve never heard of) were brought out in raw form.As dinner was to commence there was a “dinner bell” that was rung a traditional tribute that something was about to happen.At the beginning of the meal you given slices of lime to cleanse your hands and then they came around with a bowl and water to rinse your hands off.What great way to start a very interesting and formative meal.
