I always meant to give Tatse a try. Despite not being fond of spicy food, I was curious about West African cuisine. Unfortunately, the downtown restaurant closed before I could work up the nerve to actually go inside. So, when Jollof Afro-Caribbean Lounge opened in its place a few months ago, I took that as a sign to seize the moment.
Jollof has a very laid-back atmosphere, with music and flat-screen TVs for guests to enjoy from the bar or their own seating area, complete with cushioned armchairs. Designed to be a hangout for downtown residents and commuters alike, the lounge has begun hosting live music and other late-night events to draw in more business. If that’s not their speed, customers can simply unwind and admire the African American art proudly displayed on the walls as they wait for their order.
