Wow Unbelievable! Coming from the United States and trying this food was outstanding! They use the perfect seasoning for the chicken, The waffles were fluffy and tasty. The staff were friendly helpful I truly enjoyed eating at this place.

Gumbo Yaya is a rare gem! It is one of the few authentic American restaurants in the area, and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious—real soul food done right. If you are craving genuine Chicken & Waffles, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

love the chicken and waffle here! it’s exactly what I’m looking for! and the flavor is just right, I chose the spicy one, the waffle is great as well, cream is smooth, but still a bit oily, I had to remove my waffle a bit to avoid soaking in the oil , the service is great, I love the menu!
the vibe is just like the American vibe, just avoid sitting next to the toilet, because some people might forgot to close the door, although the staff always close it immediately.

Made it to Gumbo Yaya and it was a vibe. The establishment is small scale inside, so there is a little bit of a wait. The staff was very kind and the music was on point with all the back to back RnB jams. Now, the food….those yams wewhhhh child, sooo tender and sweet it made me feel like I’m ready for Thanksgiving. The mac and cheese was not as moist as I’d like it but wasn’t horrible but I had more hard corners than I’d prefer. Lastly the chicken the breading had a nice crunch but the chicken itself wasn’t seasoned, to the batter was where you seen the seasonings. The chicken was a little dry but not horrible…I still knocked a hole in it because we were hungry lol. I’d still tell folks to try GY simply because there are not a lot of soul food places in Paris.

Omg I stumbled across this gem on TikTok I’m visiting Paris from Philadelphia for my 10 year wedding anniversary and I knew we absolutely HAD to come here. The food was FAST AND AMAZING! The staff was super friendly from the moment we walked in and the prices are pretty decent for a good meal. If time will allow we’re going to try and go one more time before heading back to the states. In the meantime everyone please support this restaurant. Seating is superrrrr limited so I would plan accordingly

I came here with a friend for their famous chicken and waffles. We were not initially served the whipped butter, and was only given to us after i asked for it to be added. Their response was that they don’t always give it out, yet somehow it’s included on the menu? Other people also had pickles with their order but not us. I heard the waitress tell another table that they had run out, but that’s not something we were told. The place is very poorly ventilated on the inside and smelled very strongly of frying oil. The food was good, but the overall experience is strange and doesn’t necessarily scream hospitable or welcoming.

Waffle sandwich was delicious and well seasoned !!Mac and cheese was a little dry, as it had just been reheated. Fast and kind service. Would return for the chicken and waffles.

Been going to this restaurant for awhile mow. However, it was quite disappointing this time. Tried their chicken biscuit, the chicken is soggy and and not crispy/crunchy at all and there is barely any sauce(supposed to be a honey butter sauce) in it.

Delicious chicken and waffles! The only downside is the place is pretty small so I won’t come with a large group, and you might have to wait. We came around 14.00 and had to wait 20 mins, which wasn’t too bad. Will definitely visit again if I’m craving fried chicken in Paris!

The food here is amazing. The softest waffle I have ever eatten in my life. The chicken was crispy, perfectly seasoned with mild spices and wasn’t even a little bit greasy. You may have to queue to get in but take that as a sign of just how good the food is. The establishment is very small and the only improvement I can see happening is them getting a bigger store. As a British tourist who absolutely loves Paris, this is my second favourite place to eat there now. I don’t speak very good French and they were very helpful and spoke English with me (i’m trying to learn). I would eat in again but even if you didn’t you could take this to a local park to eat and it would still be so worth it. Please check out the hours before going because they close mid day. We each spent the equivalent of £20 (£24 euros each or something). We had each had a drink a meal and a waffle to take to the park. It was a bargain.
