Tropical Grill

West African restaurant · Jamaica

@eater

"Many Nigerian restaurants cluster in Jamaica, Queens, making them easy destinations for travelers coming to and from JFK. Owned by Abimbola Jawo, Tropical Grill affects a nightclub demeanor and is one of the few West African restaurants in town to offer a full bar. It also has a very long menu that reflects several styles of regional Nigerian cooking. From the north, it serves peanut-dusted suya kebabs and the doughnuts known as puff puff. The fiery goat pepper soup is a favorite, laced with a West African spice called grains of paradise." - Robert Sietsema
