Khadi's cuisine
421 W Cross St, Ypsilanti, MI
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Ypsilanti, this West African kitchen serves up authentic flavors like maffe stew, jollof rice, and standout fatayas that keep regulars coming back for more. The owner Khadi creates a genuinely relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where families linger over traditional drinks and generous portions, making it as much about connection as it is about the food. Whether you're discovering plantains for the first time or becoming a devoted fan of their grilled chicken, there's a warmth here that goes beyond the kitchen.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
