About us

Yaji Lisbon was born out of a shared dream between three sisters Judy, Debbie and Emma Ohanma who grew up immersed in diverse cultures and cuisines. As daughters of diplomats, we traveled extensively from a young age, experiencing the rich flavors and traditions of countless places. These early experiences ignited our passion for food and the desire to share it with others.
 
When we moved to Lisbon, the city’s vibrant scenery and culture inspired us to turn our dream into reality. Yaji Lisbon is more than just a culinary venture; it’s a celebration of our journey and heritage. Our recipes are deeply personal, passed down from our mother, a talented restaurateur whose love for cooking is at the heart of everything we create.
 
We invite you to join us on this culinary journey and experience the authentic flavors that have shaped our lives, where every meal tells a story. Welcome to Yaji Lisbon.
