Got the chicken yassa (lemon-y flavor) and dibi (lamb) with joloff. Yassa had great flavor but they only gave four pieces of chicken and it hurt my stomach after. The lamb dish was so so because the meat was tough to chew. Dibi is supposed to be smaller and tender chunks of lamb. Previous reviews for this dish at this restaurant showed smaller chunks as well. I didn’t receive that. Got other cuts of Lamb that I don’t typically like to eat.

Great food, and the owner is such a nice guy. I’ve had the yassa and maffe on numerous occasions, both are great. Well-priced for the quality and the portions, which are large. Nice decor as well.

It’s my first time having west African food and it was a blast. We had a quiet and amazing dinner in a Sunday evening. I got the lamb dish which is perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed every single bite of the food!

First time trying West African food! We came here for lunch after visiting the Brooklyn Museum. Ordered a Chicken entree, fried plantains, veggie pastis, and the lemon ginger drinks. We loved everything equally. The flavors were on point and had just the right amount of heat. Chicken was fall off the bone. Seated right away and service was wonderful. Generous portions and my husband and I split everything. More than enough and we took a small container home. Will return!

Truly impressed. I hadn't ever tried african food before, and this place was just perfect for that. Also super cool music playing in the background, would definitely come back if I'm in nyc:)

The food here makes ordinary ingredients taste extraordinary. These people deliver consistently. Their commitment to good ingredients shows. The team is genuinely friendly and addresses all concerns. I wish my schedule allowed more visits here!

A bad experience, and I wouldn’t repeat it. The food was not cooked in the African way we know — they completely changed all the dishes. And the worst part is that she added a tip for herself without my knowledge when I was paying. That’s really shameful.
First time trying Senegalese food, and WOW, I am so excited to continue ordering more from what this restaurant has to offer! Today I tried the Mafe Yapp with jollof rice. Perfectly cooked rice, tender lamb, deeply rich flavors in both.

Exceptionally authentic flavors that transport me straight back to my grandmother’s kitchen. Every bite feels like home in the motherland.

As always they provided the best service and food. The employees combine attentiveness with knowledge. Joloff deserves endless praise for its quality. The flavors were rich and satisfying. This restaurant meets standards.
