Not sure where to begin but I will start with saying, I wasn't impressed at all. Service? Took Too long to take my order then took longer (over 30 minutes) to hand me my over! And what did I order? Jollof rice and suya and a medium side jollof. And what's worst is the foods didn't taste exactly as the ones I had back at home (Nigeria). Suya tasted nothing like suya. Too much pepper. I would appreciate if they asked me if I wanted the pepper in my suya or on side.

Never coming back!

I got the chicken jollof. The people are very friendly and nice. Rice was just okay but the chicken was definitely very good. I would definitely want to come back but I most certainly will not. I paid $27 literally for some chicken, rice, and cabbage. Call it a portion and a half but I did eat the entire thing. Really though, I can go almost anywhere in this city and get the same, if not better, for $12-15. I’ll be honest, I am not even sure how they remain in business charging those prices to people. Well, that’s my two cents minus 2,700. Up to you if you want to give it a go.

Jollof & Grill is hands down one of the best West African spots in NJ. I’ve traveled to Nigeria several times, and this is some of the most authentic, flavorful food I’ve had outside of there.
The beef suya is the best — completely unmatched. Perfectly spiced and grilled to perfection. The jerk chicken even surpasses many of the Caribbean spots nearby — smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the circle-cut yams are a must — perfectly cooked and seasoned.
Fresh. Flavorful. Authentic. Outstanding. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.

DON’T WALK HERE, RUN!!!!!! Delicious food and friendly staff! This place is a hidden gem that NEEDS to be discovered. If you’re craving suya, asun, jollof rice or any other of their delicious menu items, this is the place you need to come to. We drove 1.5 hours to get here and will definitely be back!

My second time visiting jollof & grill and I brought my friend with me. We were happily greeted upon entering and even got to meet the owner. She’s the sweetest person ever 🩷We ordered the beef suya combo and it was delicious. The jollof rice was flavorful. I love the raw onions and cabbage that comes with it. The beef suya was also cooked to perfection. The plantains were ripe and tasty as well. & Can we talk about portions? You get a lot of food for the price. I shared half w/ my grandma and she enjoyed her food as well. Will definitely be returning in the future!
