I ordered from this restaurant thru Uber Eats. I am a first-timer so maybe this was on off day.I ordered cassava leaves for lunch but it was not a very enjoyable experience for my taste buds. The white rice was a perfect consistency but it was un- (or under-) seasoned. I paid $18.99 (not including Uber's fees, tax, or tip) but I only got 3 small pieces of tough and dry beef. I enjoy spice so the spice level was perfect, however, I needed much more of the actual cassava leaves to cover the taste of unsalted rice and dry beef. Also, the plantain did not taste fresh.

Passed by this place sooo many times walking through the mall, but I never stopped in... until now! There are a few tables and a big menu outside the restaurant itself, so I took a minute to look at that. I decided to get the porridge yam (Asaro) with chicken and greens. It took about 20 minutes, so I decided to run to the gym and get a quick workout in while waiting. It took another minute or so when I got back, but the staff were very friendly and apologetic for the wait! They showed me the food before putting it in the bag. I got very excited!I got home, started a movie and dug in. The chicken and greens were good, but the Asaro was DEFINITELY the star of the show. So very flavorful and satisfying! My only wish is that there was more of the porridge itself! I could have an entire bowl of that alone!I will definitely be back to Jodeem to try more menu items.

This place is inside the Greenbelt Plaza Mall next to a Super Beauty store. I came to this location because of the good reviews and it was close. I was in the mood for Egusi soup with fufu. My son wanted curried goat. The service was ok from a store of this level. The Egusi was good...like Nigerian fast food good. Not great. The curried goat was flavored well but hardly any meat. It was almost entirely skin, fat, bone and gristle. I showed this to the servant and asked him for some actual meat. He brought me more skin, fat and gristle. WTH. Needless to say that I won't be back. I will stick with the place that I know to be great Nigerian food. It's further away but consistently great food

Went here to inquire on catering as I enjoyed their food the first time I went here. Met the owner himself who, unfortunately happens to have an ill-mannered attitude. I wanted specific prices for the tray sizes of items I'm interested in. He won't give them to me as he said his staff already verbally informed me that. I told him that I want them in writing so I won't forget and it's helpful to me that way. He then absurdly said that it's their policy not to give individual prices and would rather give me a total amount. I told him, how in the earth would we know specifically how much the price of each tray would be if he won't write it down for me. He looked at me unmoved with a sharp expression on his face as he stared at me. He kept saying no to giving out any information in writing (food pricing!) like it's a secret that he is trying to protect. He looked annoyed instead of making an effort to salvage the situation. To cut the story short, he is obviously too lazy, arrogant and does not know how to treat his customers with courtesy and respect. I was taken aback by how rude this owner acted the way he did. Instead of trying to gain a happy customer, he drove me away by his behavior over his ridiculous policy. Maybe he thinks he has made it to the top already and he doesn't care if he loses one customer in me. Not the type of establishment I would recommend for anyone to patronize. I'd rather give my business to some place else where they know how to treat and assist customers pleasantly and respectfully. This guy will eventually realize the importance of customer relations one day.

Food is great. Very authentic. Location and esthetics is a bit lacking luster and not desirable. Staff is friendly. I have been several times and feel the food quality is consistent. Price is nice as well

I'm always pleased with everything I try at this restaurant. Simply delicious. As a non-Nigerian who loves Nigerian food, I'm so glad Jodeem is available for whenever I'm craving Nigerian jollof. I paired the jollof with fried fish in stew and a side of cooked spinach. This is my usual go-to when I order from them. They have not deviated from the quality of their food over the years, and I have to give it up to them for that.

Very rude and racially biased, served their own nationality first even though I entered the establishment and line first. I feel very racially discriminated against!

The food is pretty good but the customer service is absolutely horrible. There is a young woman that works in the front and her attitude is just nasty. Please look for somebody else that actually have good customer service.

For Mother's Day we surprised my mom with dinner. I called Jodeem ahead of time and was told to call just the day before! I called two days before lol placed my order and picked it up Mother's Day! We ordered stewed fish, stewed chicken, puff puff, spinach, plantain and jollof rice. Everything was delicious!! My mom took the left over food home too and really enjoyed it. My go to place for a quick dish when we don't feel like cooking!!! I have had the egusi soup, and meat pies before also which are also delicious.
