“the food was delightful. it was a chilly rainy day when my friend and I needed a nice place to sit and dry off with some warm tea. the tea was delightful, and the charcuterie board was sooooooo yummy. I love a good warm and cozy environment.“
“I ordered the Bissap and Ginger drinks. Personally I am not a fan of the ginger- it’s a little spicy which I’m pretty sensitive too. I gifted those to my mom who liked them! I really enjoy the Bissap. It is flavor packed and delicious!“
“We loved the food at Joloff! We decided to explore a Senegalese restaurant during our visit to Brooklyn. Given that the African continent comprises more than 50 countries, African cuisine is diverse according to the region of the continent. Senegalese food is a cuisine that stands out.Pay attention when trying to locate the restaurant on Bedford Avenue, you will only see the word "Joloff" in green letters on the glass in front. If you are driving it is easy to pass by.The restaurant features small tables covered with beautiful traditional West African fabric, and livens up the place. The service was superb, the waitress was attentive and very kind.We began with the fried yuka accompanied by a sauce and a hot ginger tea. The yuka sticks offered a delicate flavor, and the unsweetened ginger tea packed a punch. Since the ginger tea is unsweetened you have the option to add the amount of sugar you desire. The floating mint leaf in the tea added a nice touch.For our main courses, we chose Mafe Ganar – chicken stewed in peanut sauce with vegetables, served alongside jolof rice. The peanut sauce delivered a smooth balance between the peanuts and the vegetables.Another dish we tried was okra and jolof rice, which was well cooked and had a pleasant flavor profile.One thing to note is that Joloff has a comprehensive vegetarian/vegan section on the menu, a feature I have not seen in other African restaurants.Joloff restaurant certainly earns my mark of approval.“
“I mean, first and foremost I can’t stop emphasizing how much revitalizing the food is after couple of drinks. The Staff is so friendly and accommodating, Specially mama Rabe, she’ll have you feeling like you’ve just discovered a brand new mom that knows exactly what your stomach need lol. I definitely recommend to check it out.“
“Food is always fresh and authentic. To bad there are no tables to enjoy the food in the restaurant ( thanks to covid ). But so worth coming for meal you can indulge in at home.Parking: If a space is available, you can park on the street in front of the restaurant. I advise that you have someone else in the car in case you may have to move while you're picking up the food.“
“The food was so good so was the drink I had. Overall, a nice place to eat and have fun . The manager was super nice last night with us. Only issue: music is bit too loud but they played some good tracks.Wheelchair accessibility: there is a ramp to get in.“
“I swear by the grilled fish. You need to put one of these in Coney Island. I swear everyone loves the grilled fish with the mustard onion sauce. From my Chinese Supervisor to all the Middle Easterners, Africans, Latinos. It's such a universal dish. I'm telling you. We need this on this side of town. I'm tired of traveling to get it.“
“The neighborhood, in which this establishment is located, seems to be a quiet and peaceful one. It's actually no different once you enter the restaurant and that's important for me. I want to be able to feel comfortable and have peace of mind wherever I go, especially while spending money. I've never encountered any rowdy crowds or any drama whatsoever when coming here. You won't have to worry about language barriers because there are employees who speak English as well. There's nothing more I hate than exploring foods from other cultures and not being able to be serviced due to not being verbally understood. The food here is delicious and might I add that I'm always satisfied with the amount of food given. The attitudes of the staff are laid back, middle of the road I'll even say. It's not negative or over the top jumping for joy, but it's respectful just the same. Don't expect fancy decor, rather basic and simple.“
“I would post a picture but I ate my entire platter (2 people could've shared that but I ate all of it). Everything was delicious- it looks like they had not so great reviews a few months ago but maybe they fixed the issue because my meal and fresh juice was fantastic, especially for the price.“
“So glad I got to finally experience this place!-Reservations mandatory-BYOB-Communal seating-4 courses presented with an introduction by chef Ayo-Substitutes provided for food allergies and other dietary restrictions without sacrificing qualityContemporary Nigerian cuisine in a warm, communal environment. I believe the meal offerings rotate, but on the evening I dined, we were served: spicy red snapper and cilantro soup, black eyed peas with pepper, smoked herring and tilapia atop pounded corn, and fried sugar-coated plantain with vanilla ice cream. Each dish has a Nigerian name; I'm only describing the components of each dish for clarity. Each dish was amazing, featuring balanced flavors and just the right amount of spice (y'all know I don't want ethnic restaurants to sacrifice spice just to appeal to a broader audience).A person next to me had a fish allergy. Substitutions we're provided, and they said that each alternative they received was delicious.My only change recommendation is for the fried sugar-coated plantain to be plated directly atop the ice cream scoop. That way, the sugar won't fuse to the plate as it cools and the ice cream can meld into the plantain a bit prior to eating.Will definitely book again!“
