To our Yassa family 💚

Since 2004, our family has opened our doors seven days a week, sharing the flavors of Senegal and the warmth of our table with you.

Over the years, you’ve brought your families, celebrated birthdays, introduced friends, and returned for your favorite meals. Those moments mean so much to us. You’ve helped make Yassa more than a restaurant you’ve made it a community.

Beginning Monday, November 2, 2026, Yassa will be closed every Monday.

This weekly pause will give our family and hardworking team time to rest, recharge, and care for our restaurant, so we can continue welcoming you for years to come.

Thank you for understanding, for supporting our family, and for being part of our story.

We look forward to seeing you Tuesday through Sunday. There will always be a place for you at our table. 💚

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Yassa Family

Even the hands that prepare your favorite meals need a little rest. 💚

After serving you seven days a week since 2004, our family and team are taking Mondays to rest, recharge, and care for the restaurant we share with you.

Starting November 2, 2026, Yassa will be closed every Monday.

Thank you for every meal, every visit, and every memory. We’re grateful to be part of your lives—and to have you in ours.

See you Tuesday–Sunday. 💚🇸🇳
