Baba Jollof - Review - Alief - Houston - The Infatuation

"You might think you’re walking into a nightclub when you step into Baba Jollof in Alief, but outside of the blue mood lighting and glossy couches, this Nigerian restaurant is unpretentious and cozy. Even though the name is Baba Jollof, stick to the smoky beef suya or the goat pepper soup, which is full of habanero peppers and scotch bonnet that team up to test the strength of your spice tolerance. During the day, most folks come to Baba Jollof for a quick takeout lunch, but come during the evening if you want to make the most of the dramatic purple mood lighting, and eat a sinus-clearing soup in what feels like a secret club. photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel Pause Unmute" - Gianni Greene
