Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia｜JOLOKO

We visited Joloko on a whim, and it turned out to be one of the best restaurants we've visited in KL. From the thoughtful menu (with suggestions on how many dishes to order per person), the delicious food, finely crafted drinks and wonderful service there's nothing we can fault here. Our food was excellent, simple brilliance. It's not trying to be over the top, but everything is considered, well balanced and most importantly of all - tastes fantastic. A great range of cocktails, and also friendly & knowledgeable staff who were happy to make recommendations. It's not a cheap dinner date, but we will definitely be back again for more!

The food at the restaurant was truly fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance was delightful, and the decor was tastefully designed. However, the service was a bit slow and the staff didn't appear to be very enthusiastic to be serving us. One thing to keep in mind is that the food is a little spicier than what you might be used to, so be aware of that when ordering.

Background Located in the trendy neighbourhood of Chow Kit, Joloko restaurant is a hidden gem that offers a unique culinary experience to food enthusiasts. This Afro-Caribbean eatery serves tapas-style food with bold and diverse flavours of Caribbean cuisine. There is a time limit during peak hours. If you wish to stay on after 1.5 hours, we will be ushered to the bar. Ambience It is housed in a charming heritage building refurbished with a contemporary twist. The interiors are a riot of colours, with walls adorned with eclectic artwork and bold murals that reflect the restaurant's lively spirit. Service The standout feature of Joloko is its impeccable service, which is warm, attentive, and genuine. Since we are a big group, we didn’t need any recommendations cos we literally ordered the whole menu Food Kudos for having a wide selection of vegetarian options. I enjoyed most of them. The highlight for me was the different spread with bread. Overall A must-visit destination for food enthusiasts looking to explore the bold and diverse flavours of Afro-Caribbean cuisine.
