From Nigeria to Maryland: How Mr. Obi Built "Jollof Etcetera

Welcome to Jollof Etcetera, a vibrant taste of Africa nestled in Hyattsville, Maryland. This is more than a restaurant—it’s the dream of Mr. Obi, a Nigerian immigrant who came to the U.S. over 20 years ago with a mission: to share the rich, bold flavors of West African cuisine with a new audience.  From humble beginnings and years of saving, Mr. Obi opened Jollof Etcetera—serving up beloved dishes like Jollof rice, Egusi soup, Suya, and Moi Moi, with ingredients sourced directly from Africa.
