Jollof Mama - (Near Lambeth, london)

5 /5 edmund price: My first taste of west African food, the jollof was very nice, but personally I wish that it would be served with a separate side of yoghurt to balance out the spiciness. The spice was a bit of a surprise to me. Atmosphere was wonderful, reminds me of a pannier market sort of atmosphere, even struck up conversations with complete strangers, that was nice. For London it is cheap, about 14 quid a meal. Though that being said, in other parts of the UK you could get a good Sunday roast for £14, is it equal to me to a roast dinner? no, but I imagine that many west Africans in London could enjoy this taste of home made for them, without the effort I imagine it takes to do yourself. I suppose its worth trying at least once, because like me in my situation visiting the city from a rural backwater, it is worth seeing what the world has to offer

4 /5 Kich Morris: Tasty and good portion size. Food not spicy due to catering for which is why I think you should be offered hot sauce without being charged for it. As most would like their Jollof spicy.

4 /5 John Walsh: This was my introduction to Nigerian food. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Had the mixed Sura which came with Jollof rice, coleslaw and Plantain. Really good and a very good sized portion. The darling daughter loved it. £13. Its a stall in arcade beside Vauxhall station. So short on atmosphere but concentrate on the excellent food. The bar sells pints of Ashai for £6.75.
