Papa K. Diagne opened Joloff Restaurant in Clinton Hill, with the support of his wife, brothers and sister in 1995. Prior to that, he was running a successful catering business from his apartment in Brooklyn. Since that time, Joloff Restaurant has become well known as a the local SENEGAL, making all of our clients
In November 2006 Joloff Restaurant reopened its doors to our loyal customers after a two months of renovation and menu overhaul. Higher tin ceilings; fresh yellow, blue, and brown interiors; recently imported table cloths from Senegal; native artwork along the walls; and a new lounge area give this local favorite a special cozy ambiance. For over a decade now, Joloff Restaurant has provided a place where people from different nationalities meet over the specifics of Senegalese food and music, creating a global community in Brooklyn.
Come join us to enjoy a plethora of healthy West African food: the restaurant's famous thiebu jeun, yassa ganar, mafe tofu, bissap, ginger, thiakri, and numerous other meat or vegetarian specialties, drinks, deserts, and the pleasant company of the owner, Papa K. Diagne. Every other Friday, attend the music and artistic performances of the Joloff Lounge Series.
