Puff Puff with Chocolate ice cream
Marissa G.

What went well? Everything! Thursday night dinner was amazing. I'm not always adventurous in food choices but my favorite dining companion is. At her invitation I read the menu first to prepare. I started with a grapefruit lemon cocktail ( non alcoholic) followed with fresh bread,chicken pie,and coconut rice. Good for a picky eater, the food was fresh, well spiced, really yummy. I tried akara bean cake - these are really cool fried veggie fritters. 10/10 will try again. My companion enjoyed the whole tilapia. Dessert of puff puff and chocolate ice cream ended the meal. Puff puff are lovely bits of fried lightly spiced dough. Like donut holes with a good passport. The restaurant is vibrant and radiates good energy. The owners are welcoming . Just Jollof Kitchen gets a high recommendation.

CHOOFI TURKEY TAIL and beef suya
Mary E.

This place was so cute! Very chic inside beautiful black energy, and also classy casual. Their food was so good. I can't express the flavors. The egusi soup and fufu both filling, their drinks amazing, beef suya was one of the most flavorful and tender beef dishes I have tried. The puff puffs and the choofi turkey tail are the only things I was not a fan of and would not order it again. Would return here again.

Sweet Plantains
Diana A.

Wow, I love it when I find a place where the food is fresh AND pleasing to the palate. The decor is beautiful and comfortable. The service was great--Jevaughn was so kind and attentive. For starters we were served bread with the option of butter. This was my first time here, I tried the grilled chicken and coconut rice with a side of sweet plantains. It also came with a small sample of a potato salad which I gave to my companion (since it had dairy which I am allergic to). My companion had the beef stew with FuFu. The chicken was fall off the bone tender, what I loved the most was that even deep in the meat there was a lot of flavor. The coconut rice was soft and fluffy, it paired well with the chicken. My companion loved the beef stew and fufu. For drinks we had the Alvaro Pear Cocktail and Mama Homemade Cocktail which was Ginger beer mixed with Sorrel Hibiscus. Loved the non alcohol drink offerings! Can't wait to go back to try other soups, stews and sides.

Fried tilapia and fufu
Vanessa A.

The food is absolutely mind blowing super fresh and tasty! The service is super sweet and informative very quick with the food ( our order ended up being Togo last min and they were super accommodating). The ambiance was beautiful super classy and quite great place for kids and family.

I was in the Middletown area and decided to check this place out since I had seen it on Facebook. I was pleasantly surprised to see it's a nice sit down restaurant with beautiful ambience. The waiters behind the bars were so friendly. I got into a friendly banter arguing about Nigerian vs Ghanaian jollof. I got the beef suya, jollof rice and puff puff. It was really good! I wish the suya was cut into little bits but it was still delicious tho. Anyways I will be back with my family to try other part of the menu. By the way they have a kids menu which includes Mac and cheese, wings etc

I already started eating and forgot to take a photo till mid way, eba and fufu I paired with. The chicken was top tier.

Whoever was in the kitchen Saturday... the best BEST ever! I order here frequently, its always amazing, but chef was not playing around this day. Egusi with chicken , okra soup with extra okra. This was the best meal after a long hard week of work. I deserved it, and they deserve the best review. Keep it up!!!

Fufu , beef egusi soup

Service was fast , food was hot asf overall first time trying fufu and egusi I came back the next day for more 10/10 I'm trying sum different next , the restaurant it's self 10/10 so pretty in the inside especially the bar and the customers service was lovely they are very accommodating

Adebola African Restaurant - Jollof plantain and goat in a to go plate. The plate was around 8-9 inches in diameter if the photo looks big. Weighed around 15-17oz

Came here May 2025, at a desolate corner of the mall and found this cute little restaurant…read moredecorated in red and pink. No customers sadly as the mall had very little foot traffic (not the restaurant's fault). I came here twice to order jollof rice w/ plantains ($22) + goat meat($4-5) for a total of 26.96. The food portion was small, but it was so flavorful. The goat meat was somewhat noticeably tough/dry, but had a perfect amount of spice to it. Second time I came here, I ordered egusi stew with goat meat and eba swallow (26.99). It was also small portion with great taste to it. For a two-person operated restaurant, it wasn't a bad experience. Wish the best to them and hope the mall's emptiness isn't bringing them down. They would be able to improve on prices or portions if more people visited often.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and my first impression of Adebola was a…read morenegative one. I was excited when I saw an African restaurant had opened up in Woodbridge Mall as they are not common in the area and I am a big fan of having diverse culinary choices. I also like supporting mom and pop businesses, so I walked in with lots of enthusiasm - which vanished fairly quickly. At first, I was actually a bit amused. The furniture looks like it was meant for a different business with big pink chairs and a decor that felt a bit more "Alice in Wonderland" than I had expected. I then looked behind the counter and there was a man there who looked up, looked at me, kind of made a resigned sigh then...went back to looking at his phone. Um...okay? I walked up to the counter and tried to figure out what I was going to order. I asked the man about a menu and he made a subtle nod at the paper menu pile and then got up and walked to the back, as if I was really bugging him. A lady then came out and I thought "Okay, maybe she'll help me?" Yeah, no. I started asking about the menu and she explained nothing, only giving me some really irritated looks. The problem is, the menu had no descriptions or prices. It was hard to tell if you did a "build a bowl/meal" type thing or just ordered a "#1 or #2" etc. Finally I decided to just choose some beef tripe and rice and roll with it. Interestingly, as I stood there I checked in to Yelp via the app, and I'm guessing she saw this because when I looked up she was suddenly smiling as she handed me my food, asking me to visit again. I wound up taking the food home and...it was terrible. The tripe was SO tough. The rice was...okay but the flavor didn't really grab me. The Fufu included with the meal was...very odd in flavor. It tasted almost like herbal medicine which was strange. I have had Fufu at a restaurant in Union before and it tasted nothing like this. I generally try to find the positive in places I go to, but between the disdainful service and the quality of the food, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place, a fact that makes me very sad.

Adebola African Restaurant - The $21 Egusi i ordered, very little soup. I actually got more gari. The meat was a good amount, and the sauce was a good amount.

Okay so as a West African that eats Nigerian and French West African food all the time, I'm always…read morevery skeptical to try West African restaurants because I worry the flavors will be Americanized. I heard so many amazing things about Heritage Spice so I absolutely had to check it out! Also I friend of mine recently catered from Heritage Spice and the food was delicious (I loved the jolllof. It had the perfect smoky party Jollof flavor). I'll start off by saying the menu items are pricey and the prices nearly turned me away...but the food was INCREDIBLE! I seldomly come across a Nigerian restaurant that fully hits the mark on flavors and keeps everything true to the culture. I tried the egusi soup with goat meat and fufu. The stew had a generous amount of goat meat and the egusi tasted very fresh. There was a good level of heat without it being overly spicy. The spices in the stew reminded me of my grandmas home cooking. Lastly, the fufu itself was soft and tasted very fresh as well. The egusi stew truly hit the spot and was the highlight of my work week. Overall 8.5/10 for the egusi and fufu (8/10 for the jollof I tried at a catered event and 10/10 for the puff puff I tried at a catered event). I also ordered the food on Grubhub so that most likely inflated the prices. I'm excited to try out other items on their menu! When I went to the restaurant I was hoping to also get the puff puff because I tried their puff puff at a catered event but I was told they only sell puff puff on Sundays or do pre orders for specialty items like puff puff or meat pie.

I heard good things about Mama Philo's & made a note to try it out & to my surprise when I saw it…read moreon UberEats, I ordered it. I've never had African cuisine, so this was my first time & I was excited to try it. I ordered the meat pie, which was very good & fulfilling even. It's similar to a beef Pattie, however the pattie tasted very similar to coco bread which is what a beef pattie comes with if you choose to have it. I also tried the Egusi Soup (goat meat) with pounded yam. The combination together works very well. There was no overwhelming heat, it was well seasoned & the pounded yam was the perfect portion. Now the pounded yam alone has absolutely no taste, however it's meant to be eaten with the Egusi Soup. I've ordered twice from here & want to make my way to the restaurant to see how it is on the inside, however I have no complaints. I also like that they wrap the Egusi soup in Saran Wrap just in case it gets tilted or the bag goes upside down while being delivered. I always appreciate restaurants that take that extra step to secure the delivery.

I did order my first meal by Uber eats, which was pretty tasty but small portions and I decided to visit for takeaway. Still nothing changed, the portions of it was so small and a little pricey, food was tasty. Everything in NYC has comma in it. Shops was decent, mainly for takeout only, suya was good, egwusi soups was okay, vegetable soups didn't taste that good, lacks seasoning. Fufu was tiny! I will definitely order some dishes again, service was excellent, my waiting period was not long compared to other African restaurants in the neighborhood. Location was great and waiting area looks clean / organized. See ya next time.
