Food not very tasty but plentiful in quantity. Service was fair but friendly staff. Birthday celebration but we had to do it all.

I’ve been craving Dibi for weeks and it’s one of the most juiciest flavorful and tender lamb I’ve ever had. It’s sooo good! With the onions?! Jollof?! The ambiance is perfect, customer service 100/10 they were so sweet. I loved my food and will be back many times! Also tried the bissap and ginger mixed together! 10000/10!

Everything I get is amazing. They just celebrated 30 years in the community. I know why. The staff is mostly family and they make you feel like family. Pops is the best! I've been 2 days in a row lol. I'll be back again soon for some more lamb, shrimp and definitely the Joloff rice.

First time ordering after seeing a friend post their food on instagram. The atmosphere is very inviting I wish I would’ve dined in. They opened at 1pm and I was at the door at 1259 lol. I walked out with my food at 107 and I am impressed. My food was fresh and the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. I ordered the croaker fish and jolof rice. I rate this food 4/5 only because I wanted a little more of a Smokey taste in my rice.
Wonderful spot. Good food and such a cute, colorful spot. We got the okra and tomato chicken and the Senegalese fish dish as well as the fried yucca and veggie pasteles. We loved everything. We split 2 entrees 3 ways and had more than enough (did have apps)
I’ve walked by Joloff Restaurant more times than I can count, and I’m kicking myself for not stepping in sooner. This Senegalese spot in Brooklyn is truly a neighborhood gem. I finally made my way inside, and wow—what a pleasant surprise! The vibes are warm, the space is inviting, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal.
The joloff rice is hands-down some of the best I’ve had—perfectly seasoned, rich in flavor, and paired with fish that was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite felt like a celebration of West African culture.
If you live nearby or are just visiting the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Joloff Restaurant is serving serious flavor with a side of hospitality.

Just got back from visiting Sénégal for the first time, and after 2 weeks of being pampered to Authentic Senegalese cuisine, I thought that I would finally give my neighborhood Jolof restaurant a try...
I enjoyed the Atmosphere, the attention, and the food. Since I was treated to dinner, I can't say much about pricing.
This hole-in-the-wall restaurant serves amazing food (special shout out for the fish pastels) and they are more than generous with their portions. You’ll have a great experience if you come here for a meal

The food was really good! We got the baked fish with jollof rice, the okra and the beignets. The fish especially was a standout. And the beignets not overpoweringly sweet.
New York is the hub for a plethora of international cuisines. Senegalese food is one of my favorites, and Joloff is where I go to experience it. I have been coming here and bringing visiting guests, for years. The food is delicious, the staff friendly and the ambiance will make you feel like you've been transported to Senegal! Tell them "Marcus sent you"
