Authentic, delicious senegalese food
DESCRIPTION: Simply excellent food. I lived in Senegal for a year and the food at Joloff is the best approximation of the various "home cooked" Senegalese meals that I ate while there (it's WAY better than a certain Ft. Greene "Senegalese" restaurant which shall go unnamed). All the traditional dishes are excellent, including various Yassa, Mafe, and other sauces, and of course the national dish ThiebouDienne (literally translates as "rice and fish") is delicious as well. The service is adequate and the ambiance laid-back, so I wouldn't come here expecting a "fancy" experience, but the food is so good that I'd still highly recommend it.

Excellent Food at a Good Price
DESCRIPTION: We eat at Kush regularly and enjoy the food tremendously. They recently put out a new, larger menu and we are working our way through it. In terms of the service: always pleasant and charming but not particularly fast. Sometimes when it's busy the staff seem overwhelmed. Go when you want a relaxed pace. The restaurant is small and nicely done for a neighborhood cafe.
