There is jollof rice, then there is ours at Jollof House in Bahrain.
Our signature dish is the beloved Jollof rice, but what makes it so special? In this blog, we’re diving into the history and flavors behind Jollof rice, a dish that holds a cherished place in West African cuisine and culture.
Originating from the Senegambian region and later popularized across Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond, Jollof rice is a one-pot wonder made with rice, tomatoes, onions, and a blend of spices that create its signature vibrant red-orange hue. Each region has its own twist: Nigerians add a smoky flavor, while Ghanaians prefer a subtly sweeter taste. Here at Jollof House, we bring you an authentic experience, blending traditional recipes with a touch of innovation.
Jollof rice is not just a dish; it’s a social phenomenon. Whether enjoyed at family gatherings, weddings, or celebrations, it’s the centerpiece of any West African feast. And now, Bahrain’s Jollof House is proud to bring this iconic dish to Al Hidd, adding a touch of African hospitality with every plate.
