Jiallo's African Caribbean Cuisine

I drive by this place frequently as it's right down the street from my house and if you blink you may just drive right by and not know it. It's tucked back in the corner of a strip mall at 79th St. and Michigan Rd right next to the Tite Barn for more reference. Once you walk in you go to the counter and place your order, pay, and have a seat. I'm not sure if you have a big group if you would still order at the counter. The lady at the counter was super friendly and explained a few dishes I was unsure of. I went with the j chicken, jollof rice, and fried plantains and was told it would be about 15 mins. I think I waited less than 10 mins which was nice surprise. Once I received my food and habout 5 mins or so to let it cool and get a few good bites in they checked on me to see if I needed anything. The portion was quite big and I had enough leftovers for another full meal for my lunch the following day! Go check them out! Great food and friendly staff.

The restaurant is never open at 11 as posted. Food was good but take a long time to prepare.

Most of the food didn't taste good. The rice was quite try and tasteless The j chicken is decent though

Amazing place. I will definitely be back. Jiallo's is run by people from Guinea. The food is rich and flavorful and the portions are generous. If you are looking for a slick place where some cheery blonde greets you and takes you to your table so you can see and be seen, this is not it. If you are looking for a simple place offering authentic, flavorful ethnic food that you won't find in too many other places in Indy, this is it.

Everything we tried was pretty good. The beef meat patty is tiny bit spicy, tomato and onion stir fry was a surprise. Beef rib is really good. Oxtail is really good. Red bean and rice is good.
