Oslo-Based Restaurant Njokobok fosters community and conversation through Senegalese cuisine
Njokobok is a community-focused Senegalese restaurant in Oslo created by chef Youssou Diop and artist Apolonija uteri. Originally starting as a cold-pressed juice brand, it has evolved into a restaurant that not only serves African-inspired grilled dishes but also fosters open discussions on important social issues like gentrification and migration. The restaurant has become a vital gathering space, attracting diverse groups from the local community, and hosts events to engage neighbors and promote solidarity. Looking to the future, Diop and uteri aim to strengthen Njokobok's role in the community while planning further outreach and educational projects in Senegal.
