Jollof Chicken Pondu is the signature plate that bridges West and Central African soul food. At Ma Yve Grill, we start with premium long-grain rice, simmered in a rich tomato broth with onions, garlic, and traditional spices until every grain is stained deep red and packed with flavor.
The Jollof is paired with grilled chicken, marinated in lemon and Congolese spices, then charred over charcoal until the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy. Alongside sits pondu, our signature cassava leaves slow-cooked in palm oil until they melt into a silky, savory bed. This Jollof Chicken Pondu plate delivers the best of both worlds: the smoky depth of the grill, the bright tang of tomato rice, and the earthy richness of cassava leaves.
Every Jollof Chicken Pondu is prepared fresh to order and served hot. This is celebration food, the kind of plate you order when you want to feel at home, no matter where you are.
