We came here on a Thursday night so maybe that's why everything didn't slap as much as I would've liked. The jollof didn't have a ton of flavor or spice, but they have tomato based pepper sauce a medium and an extra hot that adds flavor and spice to the rice. The meat and chicken was a bit dry and hard. The fish wasn't seasoned much. The portions are big and customer service was kind. They had a fairly big menu. We ordered: Suya rice 8/10 (best thing here to me) Attike w/fish 6/10 Jollof rice with chicken and beef 6/10

The food is Ghanaian so you'll find a lot of west African staples here. I ordered their Suya rice with chicken and beef. My wife ordered the acheke with fried fish and ordered a plate of jollof to take home. The suya fried rice was my favorite dish. It's one of their own creations but it's a fried rice with suya spice in it. It's not as spicy as I personally like, but I'm a huge fan of spice so I imagine it's a good level for most people. The jollof was also pretty good. I'll say that the chicken and beef in both the jollof and suya fried rice were a little dry, but they had good flavor to them so it can be overlooked. The acheke was standard for what I expect from it. The fried fish could have used a little bit of seasoning but was fine to go with it. Food took about 20 mins to be cooked but I appreciate that it's done fresh. The service was great! Kevin was the one who took our order and helped us with any additional requests while we ate. Definitely love the soul he adds to the restaurant. The ambiance is pretty casual. The one thing to note is that the parking lot can be a bit small so parking may take more than one try if you have a bigger car.

A favorite is the Peanut Butter Chu and Chicken Afra. And for my dinner crew, there werent any major complaints. Flavor was there and quality. The one thing was around the desserts. Because we ordered via third-party app, I think the cake was subbed for whatever was available and not specifically we ordered. But not a major miss. Overall, delicious food and good portions.

Authentic Nigerian Food right in White Oak…read more Jollof Etcetera is a Nigerian establishment located in many locations in Maryland. The white oak location is the newest one. I forgot to take pictures (forgive me) but my family and I decided to go there to celebrate my father in love, Father's Day. Our waiter Victor was very nice and friendly as he took his time to answer our questions and also tell us what was available and unavailable due to supply issues. The restaurant itself is beautiful with modern granite tables grey comfort seats and can accommodate large parties. We ordered jollof, amala, efo riro, and ogbono My wife claimed that this was the best amala she's had as her father indicated that the efo was delicious too. I tried ogbono for the first time and It was pretty good. It's an acquired taste however I got used to It the more I ate It. Mine had assorted goat meat which was tender and seasoned well. We also had some puff puff as appetizers and I had zobo as my drink. The zobo was bland and there were slight hints of ginger and sugar. As a Ghanaian It did not satisfy my sobolo craving. Overall we were content and would return again, hopefully this time they have cassava leaf available

Not only did I waste gas but my lunch time. Then when I get back to work I notice they forgot several items.

Not only did she disrespect a customer verbally but she hung up on me too multi times. The food is unauthentic, lacks flavor & is expensive. I do not recommend this place at all.
