I got to the restaurant around 15 minutes before closing time and I was still warmly welcomed by the staff. I ordered a take way consisting of Eba with the okra special, which did take a while but in the restaurant's defence it was drawing quite near to closing time, and if you are African or are familiar with our cuisine then you know that okra soup is not a 15 minute Jamie Oliver meal #noshade. The owner's sister kept coming over to apologise for the wait, which I did appreciate as it reflects well on the restaurant's customer service; it's nice to be noticed/remembered. Dare I say it, but the food was definitely worth the wait! Both the eba and okra special were packed (separately of course) in a box. I was slightly skeptical about the portion size but the owner's sister did mention not to be deceived as the boxes are quite deep. I can say that she proved herself right! The okra special was truly tantalising! The meat was tender, unlike some African restaurants that serve okra soup with tough meat, and the flavours were there! As for the eba...well it's eba so not much to say lol however, it was slightly on the sticky side; I think it would have been better if it had a bit more gari so that its texture could have been more cooperative with the texture of the soup (if you know about okra then no explanation needed) - maybe that's just my preference. I ordered plantain on the side, it was nice and sweet but I do feel as though it could have been just a tad riper. My husband got The Okocha, as well as the wings, and he really enjoyed his meal (props to Jollof Box because he's become a regular customer lol). I tasted the chilli sauce that came with his meal and my oh my is it delicious! Generally speaking, African restaurants are usually quite dark with a poor taste of ill matching decor that dampens the whole mood of going out to dine. This is not the case with Jollof Box. I was pleased to step into an African restaurant that is filled with light! I am very fond of the decor; the restaurant is bright and airy, which creates a freshness and trendy vibe that matches the hipster feel of its location. I also like how the menu is named after African footballers. Overall, I was pleased with the service and food. The restaurant is run by a humble, friendly and passionate family. I can see this place taking off in the near future. Thank you Jollof Box, we'll be back again! P.S (To the owner): I think you should consider selling that chilli sauce e.g. just like how Nandos sell their own... 'Jollof Box Chilli Sauce'. Also, I read other Google reviews and I can't help but laugh at those complaining about the portion size. The portions are just right and anymore than that is just pure gluttony to be quite frank.

The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is top notch in terms of quality and flavour. Truly a delightful experience. If you're already in the know when it comes to African food then give it a try you will not be disappointed. If you're new to African food then try it here. Whether you're eating in or taking away, it is very pleasant as the upmost effort is put into the store's hygiene level. Thank you very much for the delicious food and you will be seeing more of me in the future.

Wow this is by far our favourite takeaway. The portions are MASSIVE and the food is absolutely delicious. I go for the vegan options and my husband gets the chicken. Would highly highly recommend.

You made my day!! Very tasty food and oh my gosh that chilli sauce makes everything even more delicious! Really good portion which helps compensate the price. Really well cooked; grilled chicken with the jollof rice lovely and tender. Soft decent amount. Staff was friendly and polite. Overall great experience.

Tasty jollof rice boxes. I’m a meat eater but the vegan boxes are done really well and are well flavoured. The hot sauce definitely has a kick to it. The box seems small but actually is quite filling. Its a mom and pop restaurant, hope they make it!

OMG what lush flavours. I never leave review but this was so good I want people to know about it. I went for The Abebayor which has a bit of everything (vegan options, many to choose from). It’s a single person portion but if you are not that hungry it’s perfect for sharing. It’s a clean and tidy restaurant, casual and the cook is a lovely lady who has magical cooking hands. Got the chance to speak to her and she has been cooking for over 15 years. Go and try this out for yourself. The hot sauce is very hot but full of flavour so you have to get it involved.

Food = Excellent Customer Service = Excellent Decor = Excellent Satisfaction = 200% Guys, I think your mum should be the brand face of this establishment somewhere, like KFC puts the outlines of his face on the logo. Her demeanour, approach, enthusiasm, passion is so contagious that's how personable she is. The concept you guys have coined, simple, yet so welcoming and effective in terms of marketing strategy. A great way to bring the traditional west African cuisine, the world's best cuisine to the high street, making it easily accessible to all patrons and curious foodies. The food tasted even a lot better with the warmth that was received from you. It was like you were at home and being served by your grand parent even though she is still forever 21. the design of the interior and decor, simplicity at it's finest. This surely welcomes diverse people with cultures from the other side of the world which I happened to witness whilst I was there. We actually walked out of a different African restaurant a few meters from this establishment due to its resistance to change and offer a more modern solution in terms of restaurant decor. we just felt the food wasn't going to be fresh. The food was then over priced for what we felt wasn't a great place to eat. As tough as it was for us to leave, as we wanted to circulate our money in the community, we just were not going to settle for mediocre environments or services. We questioned ourselves, saying we would actually pay more for meals in Chinese or asian takeaways, why can't we just do it there, but we snapped out of it and stated that yes, true, but we deserve more, we shouldn't settle for less. Having stumbled upon this place, our decision was fully justified as we felt so happy to spend even more here because of the simple fact that they understood consumer satisfaction, they saw a problem and offered a great solution. I could say more but, go in, try the meals for yourself, get blown away by their takeaway box concept and feel the warmth of the mama of the house as you eat like you are sat in your own home, comfortably munching on well prepared, tasty and delicious meals that is sure to send you to space and back from these wonderful guys at Jollof box. Thanks again for the outstanding hospitality and love that was shown to us. It was refreshing and we surely will be back with more people when we travel back to England to patronise this great idea, space and restaurant.

After seeing PR & Social Media on Jollof Box, its been on my mind to go for months! I finally went and i can say that the customer service is exceptional, and staff are quick to fulfil the needs of customers quickly. As Nigerian born and bred, i understand that Jollof can taste different depending on the person and their style, so this makes it authentic to me, but i do prefer the smoky taste that it has back home. The stew was nice and seasoned well, and the puff puff was exceptional!. Also for fellow spice easters the pepper sauce is amazing! but too much will blow your brains out, i recommend like half a tea spoon! I look forward to eating here often.
