Jolloff Etcetera

UGOCHI OBIJURU

Jollof Etcetera, Maryland USA, is an African run restaurant, basically more of Nigerian foods and pastries. They have a wide range of Nigerian foods that you can find there, ranging from jollof rice which is there major or star dish judged by the name of the restaurant. Then you also have Nigerian soups such as oha, ewedu, egusi, okro,white soup. They also have white rice and regular stew, then they have this very particular stew that I love (hence I gave them 4 star instead of 3 or 2. Will explain why I gave them 4 and not 5)....the stew or sauce is called "ata dindin", it is a very peppery/spicy stew and very delicious, with pieces of assorted meats in it, such as shaki, fried beef. The shaki was well cooked and soft. Now let me give my reasons for giving them a 4 star instead of 5....the staff!!! They are usually rude. I have been to the restaurant about 4 times, and every time a different person is rude, so it's not one person. They are never patient to understand what the customer wants, when trying to make them understand, they start making nasty faces like you are bugging them. For heaven sakes, no one is putting a gun to your head to work. Stop making it look like you are doing any customer favours, the food is not free, so please they need to behave. Other than that, their food is good, the place is quite neat, but I believe it could be better, and they puff-puff the last time we visited, and it tasted so good.

First time trying to fufu and egusi with goat so I don’t really have a reference on what it should taste like but everything was good. Easy to find, the employees were nice and even a random customer was saying it was the best within a 15 mile radius.

This was my 2nd time visiting this wonderful wonderful place. Never has traditional African food before and I’ve been wanting to try it. I’m glad my 1st experience was here! I explained to the staff it was my 1st time and they were very patient and helpful. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, clean bright environment and the prices are reasonable.. If you’re looking for authentic African food, look no further.

Purchased an order of Asun in the absence of other menu items I intended to purchase, which were unavailable at the time. The meat was tender and succulent, but (warning) very spicy. Definitely will be coming back to try other items.
