I dined here for the first time, the staff and food were both amazing.
Love the energy and food! I had sorrel juice and it was phenomenal ! Keep up the great work and it was my first time there!
Wonderful eating!!! I don't try new stuff...I gave Joloff a shot 5years ago on Fulton...I fell in love ever since!!! Thank you brother!!!!
Excellent food! Wonderful staff!! Thank you !!
Les plats sont excellent et le Staff au top!! Merci !!
Very nice staff, loved the décor and it was a clean environment. I ordered ginger tea and it was so fresh...straight from the root. Then I had the lamb yassa. So flavorful, fresh and tender. It was amazing. I'll definitely be back.
Great intimate African setting.very calm and peaceful atmosphere.food is an absolutely seasoned delicacy.I love the owner and his wife
This was one of the restaurants that I missed the most when I moved from New York two days before the 911 attacks. Tiebou djieun - I just butchered the spelling, but get the fish with Joloff rice and vegetables. I would travel back to Brooklyn to visit this spot.
Delicious food and great atmosphere ... I love it here
Delicious food! Great service and great prices. 5 stars!
Food delicious service great leaving the Bronx to go eat at Joloff you know it's good
It is a very cool restaurant. I like the atmosphere as well. And the food is delicious.
Delicious food. Best west African food I’ve been able to find in the city. Really big portions. Kind of feels like Senegal in there.
This was an Amazing food experience we had at Joloff restaurant! The staff was very Hospitable, attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was very vibrant and the dishes were so delicious! This restaurant is worth revisiting. Thank you for helping us celebrate our friends birthday. We enjoyed our visit and many blessings to The Chef🙏🏽
The Yassa Tofu was delicious, and the prices are very reasonable! Also got the fried plantains and a very, very tasty fresh ginger drink. Lots of vegetarian options, which was really nice. Highly recommend!
The food tasted like a hearty homemade meal. Really enjoyed the flavors in the joloff rice. We tried the national dish (baked fish in tomato sauce) and the vegetable legume (really just potatoes) with peanut. Both were well flavored and the joloff rice tasted differently because the rice is made with the respective sauce. The fried plantains were fresh and not greasy. Also tried the vegetable fataya (bite size fried dough filled with veggie puree); these were ok. Highly recommend the food!
Food was solid, got the Senegalese national fish dish which was really tasty. The sides were good but not particularly special in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit though.
SO happy I found this spot as I love jollof rice and now can enjoy it as a vegan! We got the yucca fries, spring rolls, and 3 plates of different curries (mafe tofu, okra, and thieu tofu) all with jollof rice. We also got the house drink which was a mix of jamaica (hibiscus) and ginger which was sweet and refreshing!
Great service and a super filling meal - definitely will come back next time I find myself in the neighborhood
I just ordered the Mafe Ganar, and the food is amazing! 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 I love how it tastes and the texture of it. At some point, my mom and I will come and visit the place. Keep up the good work, guys!
Extremely happy to have found this beautiful spot. Food was delicious. Service a1. Zero faults. If you haven't tried West African food, get yourself here. If you have, then you'll know how good it is. Well, here it's top drawer. My parter had the Chicken Mafe Ganar - cleaned the plate. I had the Tiebou Jeun - national baked fish dish. Delicious. We will return in a matter of days. Thank you, Joloff.
It was fine. I got the Mafe Ganar. The chicken was delicious, but the jollof rice wasn't as good as it used to be when they had the spot on Fulton. I'm not sure if its still run by the same family that it was before.
The okra was undercooked which was disappointing. The flavor was there, but the finish lacked 'done'. It was hard and chewy. The salad was decent, but small. The dressing was exquisite.
Overall I'll give it a 7 out of 10. I only really enjoyed the chicken and salad. To spend almost $40 and not fully enjoy my entire meal is unacceptable to me. I'm saddened to leave this review.
The service, atmosphere and ambiance was delightful.
Blessings.
I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for ages and I got to try it finally. I had the Jollof and the Dibi for delivery (Via Seamless) and I wasn’t disappointed. The packaging was great and there was no spillage. There were utensils packed as well.
The portion of Jollof rice was perfect and it wasn’t too spicy. The Dibbi was grilled and seasoned well, and the portion was decent. The onions and the mustard-based sauce they used were tasty (per usual).
For a takeout dish, it was done very well and I can only imagine how it is when you dine in. I was savoring my meal for hours.
