Amazing chicken stew and jollaf rice! Hibiscus iced tea was delicious and had bits of fresh pineapple

Best broccoli I ever ate — and I’ve been vegetarian most of my life. The Vegan Nigerian Jollof with flavorful rice and kale is incredible. The fresh Hibiscus Zobo Juice with pineapples, too. I’m sure all tastes delicious. I have been coming back every time when on The Rockaways. Relaxed atmosphere with tasteful decoration. Super friendly owner. Wishing them all the best and success!

My first jollof rice was pretty damn tasty. I was on a little tasting tour of Rockaway and The Cradle was on my list to try. We got the chicken with jollof rice, plantains, and broccoli. What a fab little lunch that wouldn't typically get to try at the beach! I have to try to make the rice at home. I couldn't tell if the plantains were meant to be sweet or savory since they seemed in between. I look forward to going back and trying more of the food next time.

The best west African food I’ve had not only in NYC but the country! The Jollof rice is spectacularly authentic. Make sure to grab a puff on your way out. Sooooooo goood! Right by the beach so bring your swim trunks! Highly recommend the everything on the menu! 10 stars!

If you're vegetarian, you're not left out of their menu. Veggie options so you don't miss out on the great West African flavours.
