Jambo Grill - Hoover

This restaurant has new owners. They do not have knowledge of OpenTable reservations. OpenTable does not have their business hours.

Took a reservation for 11:00a on Mother’s Day’, but were not open. Apparently did not open until 1:00p. There were others trying to open the locked doors, so apparently we were not the only ones who had this happen. Will not try them again after this fiasco.

Everything was nice( except the goat was a little dry and the cabbage tasted as if it was brunt and they tried to reseal on to cover the taste. But overall it’s wasn’t a really bad experience.

Different Cook this time. The bhai as as a little over cooked, but enjoyable, and someone put peppers in the jollof rice! On the flip side, the Kenyan Sampras and the Jamaican beef patties were phenomenal! I highly recommend the goat stew with spinach and rice on the side. Also, you will do yourself a disservice if you do not try the African Sunrise or the Hakuna Matata!

Nice cultural change of palate. Worth the adventure to try new things.
