My first time trying Suya, they put the spice aside so I could try it little by little, the food was very delicious and the service was excellent, the person who served us was very friendly.

Great place. Food tastes good but little spicy for me. Overall it's worth trying

Visiting family in NJ and dined at Jollof and grill. Food was great!! Reminded me of back home. Tilapia was very delicious and moist. Fried yam was piping hot and fresh. The ayamase could have used some more meat though...otherwise, everything was on point. We need a jollof and grill in the DMV area. Please make it happen!!

I haven’t had Jollof and Crocker fish like this since I was a little girl after service in my grandfather’s church. It’s perfection each and every time, the best in NJ/NYC.

You are so good in telling people lies and gaslighting when you deliberately send wrong orders to customers. The worst thing about narcissists like you is that they think they are the smartest people. Am not surprised with your ratings.

Ordered the Asun combo with jollof rice, and I must say this is the best Nigerian restaurant I've eaten from since getting here. It was 10/10. You'll know that the chefs know how to cook, not all these random people selling food here & there.Slightly expensive, but compared to other African restaurants it's just like $2-5 more, so it's totally worth it in my opinion.Can you guys please venture into other things like pepper soup and small chops???I simply can't deal with these other restaurants selling nonsense lol. Thanks in advance.

Ordered via Uber eat , the food was well packaged on delivery. I had the Suya combo , with fried yam and plantains. The plantain was the best ripe state as I like them. The fried yam is a must with the side sauce , make sure you get it! There efo rioro is very spicy , so if your spicy level is very low, skip it. Also there efo is just plain spinach ,it doesn’t have little fish ore things like other places.Overall, my top food here is their Suya , plantain & fried yam with sauce.I called in to make inquires about a canceled Uber order and they were very helpful with their explanations.

I found this place via Instagram right before my trip to NJ! I was so excited to try it. When I called I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to order being a vegetarian and most of the jollof dishes came with a meat or seafood. The person on the phone explained that I should get the Efo Riro with the jollof. I’m no stranger to jollof and this place has good jollof! The staff was so nice when I picked up my order and that’s a lot these days! Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again when I’m back in town. P.S. that hole in the jollof was from me trying it out before recording the video ??.Vegetarian options: Efo Riro!!
