Delicious food, extraordinarily friendly staff, I hope they can expand some day, would live to dine in!
Great food for take away. Both rice and soup were really good. Amazing service… really nice person serving.
I was really looking forward to trying the food at Jollof House since I loved Toks Aroma. I wanted to try jollof rice at another restaurant to get a true feel of Nigerian cuisine flavours. I must say that I was disappointed by the lack of seasoning, especially on the chicken. The rice was pretty bland even with the additional spice added to the side of the dish. I needed way more spice. I feel like this restaurant has been westernized to increase profit and unfortunately reducing authenticity. Also… the plantains were burnt and cost $5.99 for a portion that is way below the worth. And I love plantain so I am sure you can understand my dissatisfaction. Sorry for leaving this type of review. Overall the service was great and the chicken was juicy!
We were visiting PEI and needed some home style cooking, this place did not disappoint. The Jollof rice, chicken drumsticks, coleslaw was amazing. Very generous amount of rice. I'm definitely having this again when I come back. I'll add some more drumsticks to my order as well!
We were looking for something different in the area and we were glad we found Jollof House. We had both items on the menu and we were happy with our choice to stop here. The chicken was delicious, the soup was so delicious. The rice was super flavorful and we enjoyed the spice level. The food needs to be excellent if there are only two choices. We will be back when we get back to the island.
One of my favourite Take-Out spots in Charlottetown! We are blessed to have many cuisines here, and the Jollof House brings classic Ghanaian (West African) cuisine elegantly to your table. The peanut soup and Jollof Rice plate is my go-to order, always cooked to perfection. All their dishes and specials are enjoyable, flavourful, and served with a smile. It is also family owned and operated, so support these local superstars. Thank you Jollof House for always putting good food in my belly and a smile on my face!
Amazing food!! The chicken was so tender, the rice was packed with flavour, and they have the best coleslaw I’ve ever tasted, so fresh! The peanut butter soup was also incredible. Great portion sizes too. You can tell the food is made with love. I will definitely be coming back!
First time trying the Jollof chicken! It is incredible! The rice is flavorful and has a delicious spice! The chicken is incredibly juicy! Coleslaw is crisp yet creamy!! I am definitely going back!!! WOW!!
Favorite spot in PEI
Perfect!!! We ate it so fast, he was shocked!
Food is great owner is very friendly! Get the hot sauce with the jollof!
Yum!
Food was great, I took the jollof rice with 2 drumsticks. Portions are reasonable and the salad on the side is amazing. Food
Loved it! Excellent service, food is so tasty, and staff is friendly as well.
Absolutely delicious! Everything was so flavourful. Owners were also super nice and accommodated a late take out order for us. Will return whenever in PEI!
Beautifully, balanced, bouquet of spices and flavours!! This place is amazing with great food served by a friendly staff! I had the jollof rice with two pieces of chicken. The bag weighed as much as a bowling ball, smell filled the car, and tasted amazing. I m not even a coleslaw person but this was no average coleslaw, practically a sweet and refreshing salad. The cucumbers were a great way to end the meal too. All around good pick. My only grievance is this place doesn t sell air fresheners or cologne.
Fantastic! What a delicious meal. Huge portions. An order of rice with 2 drumsticks fed 2 adults for dinner. Good amount of spice, very flavorful. Their coleslaw was delish too...and Im not usually a big coleslaw fan. Be advised...the peanut butter soup is extremely hot from a spice perspective...hot to the point we couldnt eat it. They dont make a milder version sadly.
Amazing food. Great staff. Chef is very friendly. I try to stop by every time Im in Charlottetown. Wife is a huge fan too.
So delicious I am a regular now. Every t8me I am at my office I ordre from them and you have to ordre early because they are sold out reallllllllllllly quickly!!!!!!! Please try the soupp you wont be desapointed
Phenomenal food and friendly service! A must try on PEI.
Great taste, great portion, very very good jollof.
Absurdly large quantity for price, great flavour and nice coleslaw thing. Id like more hot sauce on mine but I didnt ask so 9/10 for me - fantastic food at a ridiculously low price point.
Great food, nice staff. We really enjoyed it. We would love to come back! * spiciness refers to the green habanero sauce on the side. If it s too much just avoid it ;)
Food was amazing and the lady at the front was very helpful and informative.
Picked a great dinner there, filled with flavors for a very reasonable price. Being welcomed there by such big smiles was an appreciated bonus. Thank you guys!
The restaurant does not have a place to sit and is takeout only. There are two dishes peanut soup and jollof rice with chicken. Both are absolutely delicious and well worth the money. There is a five dollar delivery service if you want to order takeout.
Delicious!
I highly recommend Jollof House. The jollof rice, chicken, peanut butter soup - its all great! The people are also wonderful. Well be back soon!
