West African Restaurants in Winnipeg, MB

“I started ordering from Jollof Life last year and I honestly have nothing but great things to say about the food. Good portioning for the price. You can also tell that there’s a lot of care put into the preparation. Always happy to support black businesses like Jollof Life!“

“I was craving Jollof Rice and originally went to a place that sevres already prepared Jollof Rice but it was closed. Went to Akins and I do not regret it. The pricing was fair; I got the Chicken Jollof Rice and a drink and paid under 20. The portioning was good; I probably would have had some left over but I was hungry and it left me full and satisfied. I had a whole take out container and they even filled one of the smaller areas with rice. The rice was perfect; oily but not too oily, good spice, firm but soft and cooked all the way through. For the chicken, I got two legs thoughI prefer a thigh and leg. That being said the flavor of the chicken and the texture were nice. The plantains were the best I have ever had; They weren't slice but I did not mind that at all bc when they are sliced they are not as juicy and flavorful as these ones were. I will go back to try other dishes and I will recommend to others. also, I didn't eat there but the restaurant was clean, comfortable and nice looking. would have taken pic but I ate it all already X)“
