The Taste of Africa: Discovering African Cuisine

Welcome to Jollof Etcetera, a vibrant taste of Africa nestled in Hyattsville, Maryland. This is more than just 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 that capture the authentic taste of Nigerian African cuisine, including Jollof rice, Egusi soup, Suya, and Moi Moi, all made with ingredients sourced directly from Africa.
