Baba Jollof

I have been coming to Baba Jollof for almost 2 years now, and I probably eat her almost twice a week. Out of all the Nigerian Restaurants/lounges that I have been to this one is definitely my favorite. The service is great and the food comes out in a timely manner. The place is cleaned , and the set up is dope, they have seats and booths where you can sit and enjoy your food . If you are a Hookah smoker they have hookah there as well. But wait Baba Jollof is also a BYOB establishment !! They have several TVs around the establishment as well as music playing. A good place to bring a group of friends to have a good time, or you can come alone and just enjoy the vibe. I would say my favorite is the rice and stew with goat meat, nice size portions and it is sure to feel you up. This place is a must if you haven't been!5 stars Baba Jollof ! 5 stars !

Best African food I've had in a very long time. My okra soup with dried fish was so delicious. I only had bones left. The pounding yams were great but next time I'll try the oatmeal. Nice atmosphere open space lots of room for large event.

I got jollof rice with chicken. It was so amazing! Spicy and delicious. The lady who works there, I believe she said her name was Kate was very nice. Will be returning for the great food, and going to try the hookah next time!

I'm back again.... Once again they did not disappoint! Let's start with the owners they are Nigerian real authentic Nigerians that speak their language within this establishment. As a foodie I appreciate culture as I explore their cuisine. I was surprised when I found out that cooks behind the scene were all men! Yeah I couldn't believe how good the food taste for it to be all men who were cooking the food. Yeah, that was a bias statement but hey! You don't find a lot of men who are great cooks let alone the owner of the business. The inside looks cute. Small but spaced out enough so you don't feel like you are on top of other customers. It's definitely a try.

Jollof was spot on! Spot on! I was pleased.Portions are heaping. Each order comes with huge portion of jollof, meat and succulent plantains.The environment: small clean restaurant placed in a gas station strip mall. In side is very neat, decor is chíc. Would probably seat 25-30 comfortably. Several TVs. Supposedly there will be hookah at some point.When I visited, stay-at-home orders had just been lifted and not many were voyaging out to eat. I was the only one in the restaurant. But they were nice and accommodating and I feel this place has great odds despite a rough start with COVID season!

Worst Suya EverThe Suya was so overcooked to where it wasn't even edible. If you're not going to produce a quality product, why even bother. Never again.The manager was very apologetic, but the folks cooking in the kitchen couldn't care less. Yuk.

I was craving Rice and Beef. I was looking at the different places on my Doordash and Ubereats app and comparing them, because I'm such a picky gal. My safe place is usually Marie African, but I wanted to try a different restaurant. Royal Point was on my list to try but they were closed, so that was a bummer. Now, I really like Jollof Rice, but once I discovered Coconut Rice a few years ago, I usually order that with Goat or Beef at most places. I love the fact that it has Shrimp and Carrots in it. I have wanted to try Baba Jollof for a while now and since Uber Eats delivers I decided to give them a try. Looking at the menu I discovered that they not only have the regular Jollof Rice but they also have a Party Jollof Rice. I was definitely down to try that so I ordered that with beef. The rice itself looked tasty and very plentiful. Once I tried it though it was pretty dry, and the chicken in it was very hard. I didn't know if it was old chicken(not freshly made) or overcooked chicken. It had tons of Peas in it which I don't really care for(but that's my preference). It lacked carrots though, there were a few and I really like carrots so if it was loaded with carrots I wouldn't have complained at all. I only ate a small portion the rice. The beef would've been superb if they had simmered it in the tomato stew. It seems they just cooked it and that was it, so it tasted like beef without the Nigerian flavor. I love the Stew, so if the meat was slathered in it I wouldn't have said a word. I tried two of the Plantains and they were good. I like my Plantains with a little crisp to them and they had that. I would give them another try, but I would go to the restaurant and order instead of ordering thru an app.

I ordered take out. The cook came out twice to confirm my order. Super nice. Good service. Laid back. They are set up for dine-in but it feels more of a carry out place. I ordered the fish egusi. It came with an order of fufu. I absolutely love the flavors. The right amount of spicy. 10/10!!! I'll definitely try other items as well as continue ordering the fish egusi.

Well, to start off, it was EXTREMELY hard to find their actual website as the link on here and typing it into google takes me to something totally different. (Pictures of what I am referring to are below). Once I was able to actually find the site I called in an order for pickup which was very easy. The restaurant is very small but nice. Now... let's get into the food... ‍ I had such high hopes based on their reviews from here and TikTok. My hopes were shattered once I actually started eating. I love African food and this was very disappointing. ALL of the meat was EXTREMELY over cooked to the point it tasted like jerky. There was very little spice in the jollof rice and the goat was more fat and skin than meat. The vegetable stew was good but I didn't expect fish to be in it since I didn't order the seafood one. It also has a lot of fish bones throughout it. The plantains were sweet but not as seared as I'm used to, they were more on the mushy side. The staff is nice however.

The food was good however I haven't eaten Nigerian Cuisine much. The okra soup was extra spicy.
