About Jollof Junction AU

Parked beside a Guildford West petrol station, this food truck turns out smoky jollof rice and piping-hot egusi soup. Owner Frank works the counter with easy banter, guiding first-timers through rich bowls paired with warm fufu pounded fresh to order. Regulars settle under the covered tent for generous plates of fried plantains, stewed beans, and peppered chicken wings.

  • Fresh-to-Order Fufu: Fufu comes kneaded warm to order rather than pulled from warming trays, ready to scoop thick egusi or okra soup.
  • Covered Outdoor Lot: A setup beside a petrol station features a covered tent with seating for around 20 diners.
  • West African Staples: Hearty plates pair smoky Nigerian jollof rice with fried plantains, spiced beans, and crisp chicken wings.

  • Egusi Soup with Fufu

    The real showstopper for me was the Egusi and Fufu. The Egusi was rich, authentic, and packed with flavour, while the Fufu was soft, smooth, and the perfect accompaniment.
