Let’s take a delicious stroll through some of the must-try meals on the menu—dishes that’ll instantly remind you of home and transport your taste buds straight to Nigeria:

1. Jollof Rice: The Pride of Nigeria

You simply can’t visit NaijaJollof without tasting our signature Jollof Rice ($14.98–$139.98). This smoky, party-style rice is slow-simmered to lock in flavor in a rich blend of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices. It’s everything Jollof should be: vibrant, bold, and deeply satisfying.

Pro tip: Pair it with our juicy grilled chicken ($4.98–$16.98) and a side of sweet, golden fried plantain ($7.98–$99.98) for that ultimate Naija combo. Hosting a party? The family-size Jollof is a guaranteed hit, perfect for birthdays, naming ceremonies, or just Sunday lunch with the squad.

2. Suya: Nigeria’s Favorite Street Meat

Suya ($16.98–$199.98) is a spicy grilled meat delicacy that’s pure magic. These thin slices of beef or chicken are well-marinated in yaji and are smoky, spicy, and full of flavor.

Served with onions on the sides, this spicy treat is a must-try. Want a full meal? Pair it with White Rice ($4.98) or even jollof for that Naija double-combo.

3. Hearty Nigerian Soups & Stews

For something rich and soul-warming, the soups at NaijaJollof are a must:

  • Egusi Soup ($14.98–$119.98): Made with well-ground melon seeds, spinach or ugu leaves, and your choice of assorted meats or fish. It is thick and filled with the right flavor. It’s rich and satisfying, the kind of meal that brings back nostalgic feelings of family times.
  • Ogbono Soup ($14.98–$119.98): If you need the perfect draw soup for that swallow, this ogbono is perfect. It is filled with the protein of your choice, making it a full and healthy meal no matter the swallow you pair it with.
  • Ayamase Stew ($17.98): Nothing beats well-made ayamase stew. If you are a fan of exotic stew, NaijaJollof’s ayamase stew is a must-try. This deeply spicy, palm oil-rich sauce full of assorted meats can be served with traditional Ofada rice or any meal you choose. It will add that spicy flavor for those who want that fiery taste in their food.

Don’t forget your swallow! Grab a side of Pounded Yam ($4.98), and you’re good to go.

4.    Quick Bites & Classic Sides

You do not always need a full meal; sometimes, just something to snack on while relaxing or before having the main meal.

  • Meat Pie ($5): Fresh out of the oven, this pie is something special. That first bite? Flaky crust, warm filling, and a puff of steam that tells you it’s the real deal. It’s the kind of snack that makes your lunch break better or keeps you going on a busy day. Rich, tasty, and always satisfying.
  • Puff Puff ($5–$79.98): Soft, airy, and just the right amount of sweet, NaijaJollof’s Puff Puff is one of those snacks you don’t even realize you’ve eaten five of until the plate’s almost empty. It’s best enjoyed warm when it’s still slightly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. You can’t resist giving it to those around you even though you’d like to devour the whole plate.
  • Moi Moi ($4.98): Unwrap one while it’s hot and the aroma alone will have you ready to dig in. That gentle steam and smooth texture make it comfort food at its finest. NaijaJollof’s Moi Moi hits the spot every time, whether you’re eating it on its own or as the perfect side to your main meal.

NaijaJollof isn’t just about food; it’s about bringing your taste buds to appreciate some of the best Nigerian cuisines. From the fiery kick of good pepper soup to that homestyle fried rice, every plate warms your heart.

Whether you grew up on these flavors or are just curious to try something new, we make it easy to fall in love with West African food.
