Honest verdict on Jollof Rice — good but not exceptional
Jollof Rice here was solidly made — deeply umami from fermented ingredients without anything to complain about. locust beans dawadawa was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.
suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a roadside suya stall at night atmosphere was pleasant enough. zobo hibiscus drink was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Jollof Rice this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
