“I love this place so much. Me and my Yoruba husband just got married last year and we couldn’t find a Nigerian place to eat. We found this gem of a place and we are so blessed. I am trying to learn Yoruba and she even offered to teach me. So sweet.“

JBJ Soul Kitchen NJCU American •

“I've been on staff at NJCU for over 20 years. Most campuses usually have great cafeterias with everything the students, staff and guests could want. But if sooo much is offered, everything can't be excellent. JBJSK-NJCU is a separate section of the cafeteria and everything I've had there is excellent. Been here 4 times in the previous semester, with the boss, with the colleagues, with the friends. None complained, and all left full and satisfied. They've got great meals, great dessert, friendly table service, their own special spice (also for sale!), and some cute merch to buy and gift to others. Price is so reasonable, and I love the organization's mission, and how we can make donations right there in the space to provide a meal for someone else.They are closed for the summer semester, but open again in the Fall and my whole office can't wait.“

“UPDATE:My opinion on how delicious the Rasta pasta is remains unchanged.My partner disputed the extra $15 with Uber, who immediately credited it back. They said they would honor the complaint after we sent a screenshot of the cost on the restaurant website (18.97 vs. $33.79), but stated that they would be contacting the restaurant to adjust their Uber settings because Uber did not add the $15 charge, and it’s the restaurant’s responsibility to adjust it because they do not collect that extra fee for themselves.Hopefully it all gets sorted soon. For $18.79, I’d used this way more often!Overall stars have been adjusted to 4/5.Original review:Delicious! Best Rasta pasta in NJ!We’ve ordered take out twice and it hasn’t disappointed.My partner got a chicken sandwich that he really liked. He said it was crispy, well-flavored, and had a nice piece of chicken. He also commented that he liked the curry chicken less, gave the curry a 3/5.I’ve ordered the Rasta pasta twice and really enjoyed it both times. I’m super particular about my Rasta pasta and this one fits the bill. It’s well seasoned, has a nice amount of yummy sauce. The only thing I’d say is that it’s $17 to add chicken, so for a $33 plate, it should be bigger. I pay that much (or less) for a family size helping of anything at any other restaurant. This dish is not shareable if you want to be satisfied.Picture is of some of my plate, as I forgot to photograph it before I went in!Definitely 4/5 on food. 3/5 overall due to excessive pricing without the amount to back it up.“
