Jollof King

What is Jollof King? Tucked into the lower-level concourse of College Park at 444 Yonge Street, Jollof King delivers no-nonsense Nigerian home cooking to downtown office workers, university students, and commuters. The setup is a straightforward fast-casual counter under bright concourse lighting, relying on shared food-court tables rather than dedicated dining room seating. It operates as an efficient grab-and-go hub focused on hearty West African comfort food without the fuss of sit-down dining.

Jollof King Menu & What to Order The essential order is the signature Nigerian jollof rice—smoky, tomato-rich, and well-spiced—paired with stewed chicken, fried plantains, or whole tilapia. Beyond the namesake dish, the kitchen turns out saucy jollof spaghetti, comforting egusi soup with pounded yam, and tender bone-in goat pepper soup. Street food appetites are well served by the heavily seasoned suya, cabbage-stuffed Nigerian shawarma, and golden snacks like puff puff and meat pies.

Know Before You Go Seating is limited to the public food court, so many regulars opt to take boxes to go or sit outside at nearby Barbara Ann Scott Park on sunny days. The counter is strictly walk-in only, seeing its heaviest foot traffic during the weekday lunch rush from noon to 1:30 p.m. Direct indoor connection to College subway station makes visiting painless even in the middle of winter.
