“Jollof Rice Champions” reads the trophy up front at this no-frills steam-table joint. Whatever West African country you insist is the supreme arbiter of this dish, it’s hard to argue with the plain-spoken splendor of the Ghanaian version served here, exuding smoke and heat. More rice than you could eat comes with an equal amount of fervent, iron-red stew. Nothing is held back.
