Jolo’s Kitchen

Jolo’s Kitchen is an amazing find in a mix of New Rochelle eateries. Everything is made so fresh and savory. Their patties are always amazing to have a side or snack, my favorites are the chick’n patty and the kale patty. If you are in the mood for a sandwich go for the Philly ribs Sandwich with Cheese, it’s my favorite sandwich in New Rochelle. The staff is always helpful and friendly so makes for an overall great experience. I hope they begin to deliver soon to local businesses.

my boyfriend and i were at a meeting in white plains, when afterwards we found ourselves hungry. not knowing the culinary offerings of white plains, we google searched a «vegetarian/​vegan restaurant in the area. one of the ones at the top of the list was Jolo’s in new rochelle. based on all of their positive reviews, we decided the 20 minute trip out of our way would be worth it.. . and it was!
we got there just after they opened around noon, and they didn’t have all of their options for the day available until close to 1:00. while we waited (because we wanted to share their four dish meal), i got a cup of celery, beets and cucumber juice which was AMAZING while my boyfriend had the «happy belly» smoothie which was equally, if not more AMAZING. our plate of food consisted of a brown rice and black eyed pea combo, a pasta dish, a summer vegetable stew, and a mock meat version of beef tips glazed in a cinnamon sauce. it was all delicious. even the mock meat, which i’m not commonly a fan of, was tasty, though just a tad salty. we got 2 of their patties to go. the kale stuffed one was delicious. the lentil filled one was tasty, but dry. all-​in-​all a wonderful meal full of flavor in a warm and generous atmosphere.
two thumbs up!

This restaurant is so underrated. I’ve been coming here sporadically for the past few years and I love it. The owner (chef) and his wife are approachable and just awesome.

Meh. Not sure what all the hype is about. I had high expectations for this place and was looking forward to the vegan patties but the crust was too thick not flaky like I’d hoped. Also the hot bar was decent but nothing spectacular. The staff was a bit rude frankly and a bit taciturn… and they had some odd sports radio on not reggae like I was hoping for. I expected a friendlier vibe and better food. Oh well.

i hope this the near the train station location I’m reviewing, i just want yums so i go to Jolossss!!!

Fantastic! Really really good food
Great location
Great jazz!
Chill and spice it up!

This place is amazing! Jolos kitchen is a place I frequent, no matter what I choose to eat, it is always delicious! I highly recommend stopping in.

Food is always good here. Anytime my wife and I are around New Ro we always stop to get some of the great food. My favorite are the ginger «chicken» and Bbq «ribs». You can’t go wrong with either one!

Took a trip here for lunch yesterday afternoon! My girlfriend recently became a vegan while I am always open to trying new things. I order the Quinoa Burger & my girlfriend orders the beef stew I believe. All cooked to perfection & you wouldn’t even know that none of the food has any real meat. Main dishes are made in the back, fresh veggies & fruit up front. Everything looked fresh & the main dishes looked well prepared. We will definitely be stopping by again! Oh & service was great! I do not think this place is a «waiter service» kind of place but the lady at the counter was still nice enough to bring our drinks to the tables & take away our plates when we were done.

Today I was starving and I Unilocaled any vegan locations around me at the time. I found this place!
I ordered from their hot trays brown rice, string beans and mixed vegetables. I also got a callaloo patty with a carob cupcake for dessert.
The patty and the cupcake were definitely winners in my book! I would loveeeee to go back there for it :)
The other food was just rice and veggies. So it was okay.
Although my meal was satisfying, I never actually paid attention to pricing. My total was $ 17 dollars and change! For brown rice and veggies with a patty and an un frosted cupcake. Sheesh! That hurt the pocket!
If I lived closer I would return and will look at prices.

Coming from the Caribbean, i know flavored food. As a vegetarian, sometimes it’s a little hard to find that. The men behind the counter are the nicest people you will meet. The menu looks fantastic, offering a variety of dishes. Please make sure to try the Jamaican tofu patty. I love the smoothies offering some of the best caribbean fruits– papaya, pineapple, etc; all blended into bomb smoothies. I haven’t had anything here i don’t like.

Delicious, nutritious, and accommodating enough to stay open a little late for us!

I’ve been going here for the past 3 years and it’s consistently been good. I like that there is a standing menu to order from, but what I like most is seeing what’s on the buffet table. Jolo’s has a lot gluten-​free options. I wish more of their fresh baked desserts were gluten-​free, but they have some packaged brownies that are delicious.
The service is always on point. I definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Happy Eight Year anniversary Jolo! What a great little vegetarian restaurant in New Rochelle.
Three minutes away from the giant movie theatre in town. Perfect pre-​movie dinner spot.
I searched Unilocal for «healthy restaurant» in New Rochelle and this gem came up.
Parking was a little tough, even on a quiet day after Christmas 2015 but we didn’t give up and finally found a spot near the Dollar Tree.
I had the «beef» stew, «fish», okra and chard. My dining partner switched out the «fish» for the jerk «chicken»… The «chicken» is a MUST! It was out of this world.
We also took a piece of the brown sugar cake to-​go for a movie snack. That was a perfect delicious snack during the three hour 70 mm film projection of Hateful Eight.
Great atmosphere, great tunes, friendly employees, delicious food, everything was A+ about Jolo’s. I will be back! Thanks Jolo!

All I can say is I come here to much
The best food ever, staff just awesome and always inviting, for 10 dollars u get a meal fit for a king.

How can spinach taste this good?
I was passing through the area and Unilocaled «vegan». This place popped up. I ordered steamed spinach (which was cooked to perfection with a lot of flavor), brown rice, and the curry «chicken». The whole meal was simply amazing. The food left me feeling healthy and not weighed down. Many of these places (Brooklyn), leave you with a gluten overload but not JOLO’s.
Whenever I am in the area this will be my go to lunch spot.

I was in the area and the 1^st restaurant that popped up on Unilocal was this place and I’m glad i came here the food was amazing and full of flavor, I definitely will come here again to try other things On the menu. I had curry stew with black beans and brown rice. The food was very tasty and quite filling I’m happy i decided to stretch the legs of my taste buds.

The food is ALWAYS FRESH!!! Jolo is a magnificent chef!!!
The service is friendly/​inviting and there’s NEVER any Murder in the Kitchen!!!

Amazing food! One of my favorite vegan spots to visit when I go to New York. The owners are really nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the restaurants I grew up going to as a kid.
Their menu changes, but whatever they serve, you can always expect it to be good. Caribbean food at its finest! Try their fish patties, they’re awesome. Much respect!

This place was absolutely wonderful. I have had great vegan Caribbean food in Brooklyn, Harlem, and the Bronx but I will admit to being skeptical about what I might find in New Rochelle but I have to say that the food was SO ON POINT. Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and beautifully served. A lot of Caribbean/​Jamaican joints tend to really overcook the veggies so the fact that the Brussels sprouts/​carrots/​broccoli mixture was perfectly steamed/​sauteed was a surprising treat. Also, Brussels sprouts??? I never see those in Caribbean joints. The soup was good, the samosa was good, the cabbage was good, the bbq chicken was good, but my favorite was the ginger chicken, which was totally amazing.
Everyone there was totally amazing. Jolo came out to chat and called someone from the back to sing us a song. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be back, even if I need to ride my bike from Brooklyn!
