Joloff
Description
We are a West African restaurant specializing in Senegalese cuisine. Serving the community for almost 20 years, we have transformed our restaurant into a Taste of Senegal. Customers join us at our table as family and feast on our traditional dishes. Our most popular dish is the Senegalese national dish called Tiebou Jeun - baked fish, jollof rice, and veggies. Our jollof rice stands out with its broken rice, jasmine flavor, and cooked into a deep tomato sauce. Our cooks are passionate about cooking, making our dishes unique. Everything is made daily upon request and with love, including our homemade juices and pastries.

Experience authentic Senegalese cuisine at this charming BedStuy gem. Dishes like Lamb Yassa and Tiebou Jeun are flavorful and generous in portion.

Service is top-notch and the staff is friendly. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and the ginger tea is a must-try. Whether you're new to West African food or a seasoned fan, Joloff offers a delicious and memorable dining experience that will keep you coming back for more.
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.
First time trying Senegalese food, and WOW, I am so excited to continue ordering more from what this restaurant has to offer! Today I tried the Mafe Yapp with jollof rice. Perfectly cooked rice, tender lamb, deeply rich flavors in both. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Was craving jollof rice and definitely got my fix here. The lamb maafe was delicious. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
