Our Story

         Lauren and Robert Alley spent their formative years growing up in New Orleans, enjoying the special flavors, events, and people over the years. This history of their lives provides us with very outgoing people (people lovers) that is obvious while they operate the Gumbo YaYa's restaurant. You will always be greeted in a friendly manner when you step through the door!

         Robert has owned and operated a variety of restaurants in the New Orleans area. He has put together a tasty menu for your dining pleasure, while keeping the cost down. Not easy in this day and age, specially when you want authentic cuisine from other areas of the country, like New Orleans.
