The Party Jallof was delicious, with a nice smokiness to the rice and the chicken seasoned spectacularly. I'm typically not the biggest fan of plaintains, but the plaintains that came with the rice were crispy and savoury. It was my first time trying fufu & egusi, and for the most part it was exactly what I expected! The stew was tasty, and the fufu had such a unique and lovely texture. Similar to Ethiopian food where you use the injera to pick up the meat/veggie stews, you use the fufu to scoop up the egusi. However, since fish bones are used in the stock, I found several fish bones in my dish that ruined the experience of it. It is a little on the pricier side with these dishes at $26+. The portion of rice could have been bigger, but tastewise everything was great. I would definitely come back to try other dishes and to have their jallof again!

I discovered Jollof at Afrofest a couple years ago and hooked on that tangy spiced rice and chicken. There's steam trays at the back to choose your selections from and create a dish. Starting with 3 kinds of rice, of course including the reddish Jollof rice. Then move on to the meat and veg dishes to complement the rice. Many choices from fish, whole chunks almost caramelized into chewy spicy goodness, turkey, chicken, all drenched and simmering in intensely spicy sauces. Let the super friendly staff suggest topping the rice with some of that ish and it's pure heaven! I grabbed a Zobo, a home made drink concoction that sounds like the Caribbean ginger beer. Staff cautioned me not to drink it with the spicy food I ordered so it's coming home with me. Not gonna ignore that caution! There's a bar and comfy pseudo booth style two tops along the wall to hang in and take in the ambiance as well as the Afro beat music going on. My only complaint would be the value. My meal was $22.95 not including a drink. In a competitive market like Queen West where there are plenty of good value meals this is pricey. And I left wanting more so there was no leftovers to take home. Welcome to the hood Africa, glad you're here with us : )

He also enjoys talking about himself and his experience at the restaurant for the past 16 years and the other stuff he's done before it. On the table comes with 4 different sauces that you can use during the meal. There are indian and african dishes on the menu, catering to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. There's an entire section dedicated to grilled meats, and even a meat platter that you can split. A subset of our group ordered an african thali platter along with the simba grill platter. The thali platter came with Ugali. Having never tried it before, it was an interesting experience. As described, it was tasteless on its own and is meant to be eaten with curry or other flavouring. The curries that came with the platter were great. The grill platter comes with various different offerings of BBQ, including wings, beef mishkaki (cubes of beef), chicken mishkaki (cubes of chicken...), and spare ribs, along with some salad and fries. It is a great way to sample each option to see what you like. We also ordered some ice cream, which is said to be homemade It is definitely very different from the stuff you'd get wholesale, and a single bowl comes with a large serving. It's a bit out of the way if you don't drive, but it's a good place to stop by.

The ugali and chicken curry reminded my husband of back home. Best East African food. We were there this past weekend with our 3 boys- they loved the food- mogho and kababs were a hit with them. Finger licking good food :) fresh passion juice was great. Picked up some bouyi, paan and snacks from there as well
