Chef Jolo, a native of Haiti who moved to New York at 14, says it was his vision to create a casual, affordable, music- and art-filled space to share his cuisine and his love of natural living, particularly the Rastafarian way of life.
His restaurant follows Rastafarian dietary guidelines, which emphasize fresh vegetables, plant-based proteins and natural plant-based ingredients. Diners can choose from a constantly changing buffet or select from the menu, which includes popular made-to-order entrees like Vegan Ginger Chicken, the Portobello Mushroom in coconut sauce, or the spicy Jerk Falafel. Jolo’s Kitchen is open 11 AM – 8 PM on weekdays; 1 PM – 8 PM on Saturday; 1-7PM on Sunday Please note that the kitchen is closed on Mondays.
