"Joloff opened on Fulton Street in Clinton Hill in 1995. Nearly two decades later, it moved to Bed-Stuy, where it’s been ever since. If you’re wondering how the family-run place has managed to endure, it may have something to do with the warm service, vibrant interior, or the way that, when served alongside a pool of lamb mafe, their chewy jollof rice draws in all the flavors of the peanut-based stew. Their Senegalese classics are hearty and comforting, perfect for a casual meal when you want to feel like you’re eating in someone’s home. Food Rundown photo credit: Bryan Kim Mafe Yapp Joloff’s mafe is thick and smooth, with rivers of oil running throughout and chunks of tender bone-in lamb (although you can also get it with fish or chicken). It’s fantastic on its own, but the stew reaches its full potential when paired with a fluffy mound of joloff rice. Yassa Ganar Another highlight, Joloff’s yassa ganar involves hefty chunks of chicken coated in a sour sauce with thick ribbons of onion. If you want something lighter than the mafe, it’s a great choice." - Bryan Kim

Joloff is a Senegalese classic with a homey feel and silky mafe - Review - New York - The Infatuation
