“ My favorite place for rice and stew. 10 stars. Flavorful, spicy. Best I've had so far in Houston. ”
“ Best African food I've had in a very long time. My okra soup with dried fish was so delicious. I only had bones left. The pounding yams were great but next time I'll try the oatmeal. Nice atmosphere open space lots of room for large event. ”
“ I got jollof rice with chicken. It was so amazing! Spicy and delicious. The lady who works there, I believe she said her name was Kate was very nice. Will be returning for the great food, and going to try the hookah next time! ”
“ I'm back again.... Once again they did not disappoint! Let's start with the owners they are Nigerian real authentic Nigerians that speak their language within this establishment. As a foodie I appreciate culture as I explore their cuisine. I was surprised when I found out that cooks behind the scene were all men! Yeah I couldn't believe how good the food taste for it to be all men who were cooking the food. Yeah, that was a bias statement but hey! You don't find a lot of men who are great cooks let alone the owner of the business. The inside looks cute. Small but spaced out enough so you don't feel like you are on top of other customers. It's definitely a try. ”
“ I have been coming to Baba Jollof for almost 2 years now, and I probably eat her almost twice a week. Out of all the Nigerian Restaurants/lounges that I have been to this one is definitely my favorite. The service is great and the food comes out in a timely manner. The place is cleaned , and the set up is dope, they have seats and booths where you can sit and enjoy your food . If you are a Hookah smoker they have hookah there as well. But wait Baba Jollof is also a BYOB establishment !! They have several TVs around the establishment as well as music playing. A good place to bring a group of friends to have a good time, or you can come alone and just enjoy the vibe. I would say my favorite is the rice and stew with goat meat, nice size portions and it is sure to feel you up. This place is a must if you haven't been! 5 stars Baba Jollof ! 5 stars ! ”
“ I ordered take out. The cook came out twice to confirm my order. Super nice. Good service. Laid back. They are set up for dine-in but it feels more of a carry out place. I ordered the fish egusi. It came with an order of fufu. I absolutely love the flavors. The right amount of spicy. 10/10!!! I'll definitely try other items as well as continue ordering the fish egusi. ”
“ Loved this place. Great music and service was fast. We ordered Jollof and plantains with a side of suya. Portions are big we ended up taking about 2/3s home and reheated it the next day . They have hookah as well. We didn't try it this visit but will definitely try it next time. ”
“ Jollof was spot on! Spot on! I was pleased. Portions are heaping. Each order comes with huge portion of jollof, meat and succulent plantains. The environment: small clean restaurant placed in a gas station strip mall. In side is very neat, decor is chíc. Would probably seat 25-30 comfortably. Several TVs. Supposedly there will be hookah at some point. When I visited, stay-at-home orders had just been lifted and not many were voyaging out to eat. I was the only one in the restaurant. But they were nice and accommodating and I feel this place has great odds despite a rough start with COVID season! ”
