About Jollof Grill

Jollof Grill is a restaurant serving African food located inside an African food store, with no exterior signage. It is considered by some to be the best African food in Cincinnati. The food is consistently described as delicious, good, perfect, full of flavor, and unique, with balanced spice. Specific praised dishes include the jerk chicken, jollof rice (also called red rice), Theibou yapp, fish and red rice, fried red snapper, plantains, meat pies, and ginger tea. Portions are frequently huge. A standout feature is a face-melting, delicious habanero side sauce noted as one of the spiciest. Drinks like bissap juice, baobab drink, and fresh ginger juice are also recommended.

The owners and staff are repeatedly noted as being warm, welcoming, friendly, and providing amazing service. However, there can be occasional inconsistencies with food portions and readiness at opening time. The phone is rarely answered, and the wall menu lacks descriptions, which can require customer questions. The experience is warmly summarized as food that hits you like you’re home.
