"Ok so, I recently tried this place — honestly they can cook for real!! The portion is fair enough to fill you up until the next day!"
"Husband and I decided to try Djoliba and the food was delicious, service wonderful! We had the lamb and jollof. The sautéed onions over the jollof is amazing. I'm so glad I found this place!"
"Had jollof rice with tilapia and food and service was a 10/10. I will definitely be coming back."
"Had the lamb shank (gigot) with rice. The portion was generous and the food delicious. The entire staff was very attentive. I would eat here again."
"I eat at Djoliba often, and the food is consistently delicious. They have a hibiscus slushy that tastes lovely. The fresh ginger drink always hits the spot."
"When I tell you this meal was so good! I got an entire platter with chicken, rice, veggies, and sweet plantains for just over $20. The establishment felt like home and the workers were so lovely."
