Tried Mama Africa on a whim. the food is absolutely delicious and flavourful. I had the Chicken Yassa over rice and smothered in a rich onion sauce and vegetables. The chicken had a delicious smoky taste. The wonderful lady who served me explained in detail all the dishes and was very friendly. I would highly recommend.
I had the Yassa King burger and poutine.
Both were very very flavourful - the marinade on the chicken was excellent.
Also: the lady working the cash/front counter was super friendly and made suggestions about the menu.
Pricing was right around what I would expect to pay for lunch
5/5 overall
You, too, should try Mama Africa! Great food, great peeps, great vibe :)

Mama Africa Restaurant offers very delicious food at a great price, complemented by really friendly staff. Highly recommended dishes include the Mafé, which is beef in a fantastic savory peanut sauce over rice, and the Chicken Yassa, featuring lots of sautéed onions and a delicious smoky taste. The marinated chicken in their dishes is exceptional, and the fresh Baobab Juice is a must-try. They have a huge selection of spices, groceries, and even skincare items. The food is halal, and the hot pepper sauce is addictive. This restaurant has become a favorite for many, including families with young children.
Another standout is the Merguez sandwich, which offers a spectacular combination of baguette, sauce, vegetables, and sausage. The Rasta Flame burger is also noted for being juicy and delicious, with amazing sauce and fresh ingredients. The staff are wonderful and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain menu items and address allergies. Pricing is reasonable, making Mama Africa a great choice for a satisfying meal, and it has quickly become a go-to spot for many visitors.
