African Restaurants near Union, NJ

“Delicious food and friendly service. They also have a grocery store.“

“Last night a friend and I went there last night (10/24/24. We actually went for karaoke, which was supposed to start at 8pm. It started at 9:30. However, we decided to stay for dinner. Although there were only a few customers, it took over an hour to get our food. I also had an issue with the servers hair hanging out, while they constantly played with their hair. Hair should have either been covered or tied back.
Now for the positives: We liked the cozy, pristine atmosphere. The fried snapper and jolof rice was absolutely delicious. The fried plantains should have been ripe and sweet (like Cuban Petes). We didn't like the pepper sauce, which was extremely hot, and lacking flavor. The next time I will bring my tobacco. Yes, I said next time because it was my first visit, and I'll definitely be back for that DELICIOUS RED SNAPPER. I don't remember the name of the young lady. I think that she was the hostess. She was awesome. When she saw me sputtering from tasting that hotsauce she immediately brought me water. Her assistance in helping us select our menu was awesome. Thank you.“

“Fatu’s kitchen did not disappoint! I had the potato greens with rice and my hubby had Jollof rice with chicken. The food was very tasty and hot. Our server was patient and polite and the restaurant was decent, and a lot bigger than how it looks from the outside.“

Very tasty, the amala with gbe giri soup was super delicious , the egusi was excellent, I will definitely come again and l recommended it to everyone, " the real taste from home".“

“The BEST african restaurant you will ever try.“

“My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.“

“A friend recommended and i decided to try it out. Best tasting Naija food I’ve had in the whole of NYC and NJ area. I ordered half pan of Efo riro, ayamase and goat stew. It was so delicious and the meal was very well packaged. I shall be back again and highly recommend“

“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!“

“I had an amazing experience at TOL!

The music in the restaurant was a vibe. The staff were helpful and accommodating and most importantly the food was delicioussss - I even went back for more!

I’d recommend Taste Of Lagos to anyone who wants to leave with a full belly and a smile on their face.

Can’t wait to go back :)“
