It's hard not to be won over by a place with as much heart as Joloff Box. Situated just across from Dalston Kingsland station, this family business has moved from market pop-up stands to their first permanent location. This is a big step, as they no longer have to do the cooking at home! 

I came in first thing when it opened at 12 to get takeaway lunch for myself and a friend. Sade, the co-owner and chef, was just getting set up in the kitchen and told me about what options were popular. As the name suggests, they specialise in Joloff rice, a delicious stewed tomato and rice dish from West Africa. 

I got the "Okocha" which was rice, chicken, and plantains and was very very satisfied. It was a heaping portion of rice, well enough to fill me and then some, along with delicious chicken and sweet plantains. It stayed hot in the box the whole way home. My friend got the £7 lunch special of rice and chicken and was very satisfied. 

I will definitely be back and hope to support this business in the future!
