Naija Jollof Lounge offers a delightful dining experience, serving Nigerian cuisine that is highly recommended. The restaurant provides excellent service, with friendly and accommodating staff, including Tehilla and Mary. The jollof rice is a standout, with many praising it as some of the best they've tried. The versatility of rice is never-ending, creating a wonderfully smoky jollof rice with a uniquely aromatic seasoning blend that is rarely experienced elsewhere. When served with chicken, the jerky-like texture results in a concentrated dose of umami that grows richer with each bite.
Guests also note that the food can be quite adventurous, with dishes that are super spicy and feature tough, jerky-like meat that requires some chewing. The soups, which are more like stews with intestine and meats, are small in portion and very oily. The decor and atmosphere may vary, with some reviews mentioning a recent move, a sign that says 'taco,' and water dripping from the food station. Parking details are unclear, but the restaurant is accessible via TTC. Overall, Naija Jollof Lounge is a place to explore authentic Nigerian flavors, especially if curious about African food.
