Joloff is the best!!! Weve been eating here for over three years and it is still our #1 go-to spot!! Their food is consistently delicious, warm and comforting, with great portion sizes - and it delivers well too. My favorite is probably the Curry Tofu, but all vegetarian dishes are amazing; every entrée is also inherently gluten-free. And even our meat-eating friends can vouch that all their meat/fish dishes are phenomenal. Authentic and "ethnic" but crowd-pleasing (read: "different" but even your out-of-town / suburban guests will enjoy their meal). The vibe of the restaurant itself is very nice and quiet, relaxed and friendly, never a wait, with lots of space - and its BYOB. We even went for a birthday for 15 people and they took great care of us. Great staff, great service, great food. GO!!!

I ordered from them twice and NEVER AGAIN! How can you serve jollof rice at a place called jollof and have it be BLAND! I tried the veggie one since Im vegan. The first time I ate at the actual restaurant. Thought maybe first time was just an off day but no! The second time I got side of vegetables as well as the veggie rice and again bland and not worth the time (delivery 45-1hr and they are only 5 minute drive away) or amount of money. I can cook better than this restaurant. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Take your money to BUKA instead just a few minutes down the road. The food quality and service is MUCH better.

Joloff rice was not as expected very much so overrated the tilapia was overcooked and hard and the waitress was not that sociable Im not too sure if she was not able to understand English very well. It was my husbands birthday and it was our first time there we did not receive a warm greeting it was early in the week and pretty much empty customer service could have been a little bit more friendly. We will not be dining there ever again and also the menu was a little bit deceiving.

People really like this place online and its right around the corner from where I live so I decided I would try it. I was a little disappointed because the service was extremely slow and the food wasnt that good. I love West African food and had the great opportunity to spend a summer and Mali so I was excited to try it out but I was really disappointed that I was only one of two people in the restaurant and it still took 55 minutes for a chicken dish to come out.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over ten years. I always bring my friends here when they come to visit me. There isnt anything on their menu that I dont like. I am not a vegetarian, but I love their curry tofu. They are great for smaller dinner parties and often have live music. Definitely try the fried yucca sticks. Ask for their extra hot sauce.

Lovely and quiet atmosphere. The owner is always around and very kind. My favorite dish is THIÉBOUDIENNE and Joloff Restaurant is my favorite place to get it. Try the boulettes (seasoned fish meatballs) or the pastels (tiny fish empanadas) and the fried sweet plantains.

Excellent family run restaurant! Nice décor and comfortable environment. Get the bissap to drink, it’s delicious. The fried Yucca was good for an appetizer. The lamb was fantastic the sauce had great flavor. I highly recommend the fried doughnuts for dessert.

This is one of the best restaurants if not the best of its kind that I know of. I fly up from Atlanta just to come to the restaurant because of the great food. I have been eating at Joloff for over 16 years and not once have I been disappointed in the food.

The screen art was great but I didnt get Senegalese style from the food . The Djoul was not good I wish they had more meat in some dishes and the flavor was all the way off I wouldnt go back I just wanted to try something closer but it wasnt worth it

Had a lovely dinner here. My wife had the chicken and vegetables with joloff rice and I had the chicken in peanut sauce which was great. Also had the lime ginger beverage which was very refreshing. Nice spot.

The place look Senegalese but the food is some garbage. Taste nothing like senegalese. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.
