An amazing and fun experience. This was my first time trying Nigerian cuisine, and it was delicious! I ordered their Jollof, because, well, it's in the name of the restaurant, so I had to try it, and it was soo good. The spring rolls were also amazing, big portioned and everything was also decently priced. I couldn't finish all my food, although I loved it, so I get to enjoy it for dinner as well ^^ The service was great as well. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations and telling us more about the diferent types of food when asked. We had the restaurant mostly to ourselves, so it is a given the staff might not be able to be as attentive during a more busy day, but nonetheless, I appreciated it. Their coffees are tasy as well. I've been told they added the coffe menu just recently, but they've got it right! All drinks came with a complementary biscuit, and we even received extra ones to enjoy with outlr hot beverage. I would come again for their iced caramel latte, it was...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jollof Zone, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! After perusing some reviews, I felt that many negative comments came from those unfamiliar with the nuances of African cuisine. For instance, the goat meat, which some patrons criticized for having too many bones, is traditionally prepared this way to enhance its rich flavour.

The service was outstanding, making my visit all the more enjoyable. I am eagerly anticipating my next trip to Jollof Zone; they have certainly captured my culinary heart! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking to explore authentic...
Read moreMy wife and I took our young son to Jollof Zone for dinner a couple of weeks ago. We had yam porridge, egusi, assorted meat, pepper soup, Jollof rice, stew, pounded yam, plantain and lamb Suya. The food was cooked to perfection, however the lamb Suya didn’t quite hit the spot as well as the other dishes (it was cooked ok, it just wasn’t seasoned as well as we’d expected it to be)
Service was good, staff were all friendly and the chef made a point of coming out to check on us and ask if we were enjoying our meals; she also gave our son an extra portion of stew to take home, which was a really nice touch.
Overall, Jollof Zone is a very welcome addition to the restaurant scene in Edgware, especially since we have been missing a good local Nigerian eatery since Mama Calabar closed...
