African Restaurants near Nepean, ON

“Flavours were fantastic and the service was warm and inviting (contrary to some reviews we read prior to going)and the only draw back was the place looks like it could use a little tlc. My family took me there for my birthday dinner (2A 2C under 6) and we walked in to a bouquet of mouthwatering smells and the courteous and friendly staff directed us to choose what ever table we wanted. The restaurant to be honest, looked like it needed a polish and the floor could use a good mopping. That was the ONLY negative to our experience there. After talking to the mgr who walked me through the menu and gave lots of great information and suggestions we placed our order. He was even kind enought to wish me a happy birthday and brought me a juice as a little something! Please understand that time relaxing and talking while waiting for the food is part of the African restaurant experience so don't be expecting toget it on your table in 5 min. If you want that go to McD's! When the food came (2 combo platters) it was beautifully plated (I wish I thought to take pics!) and with a bowl of delicious jolof rice. FYI Ghanian jolof is different in the flavour and "sauciness" and this Nigerian jolof was fantastic of its own right being light, fluffy, and with a beautiful smoky note. The chicken and goat were amazing! Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour I only wish we had ordered more! The beef was a little overcooked comparitively. I will say that there is a bit of heat to the dish (a tiny little bit too much for the kids even though they didn't stop eating! hahaha) The take out and delivery that was coming and going throughout our meal was nonstop which just goes to tell you how good the food is. Overall if you decide to check this place out you won't be dissapointed. The food, service, and friendliness of staff are amazing! We'll be back!“

“At one time the only place you could get the, deservedly, famous Colonnade pizza was downtown, now they have locations at the south end of Bank St and on Merivale carrying the time honoured tradition. My wife, who doesn't really like pizza, loves theirs.“

“Dangerously delicious food. we couldn't stop eating. will be ordering again and again.“

“The restaurant blowed our mind. Wowowowow, wowowo and woowowow. DELICIOUS!!!! Tender and cooked to the perfection with the best spice ever. OMGGGGGG we love it. The steak and cheese wrap 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 the whole family loved it. You need to try it !!!!“

“Amazing food quality and service!“

“delicious food at a reasonable price!!“

“My wife and I traveled from Ghana to Ottawa for business, and we stumbled upon BBQ GOLDEN GRILLSTONE for dinner. The food was absolutely mouthwatering! We felt right at home, surrounded by flavors that transported us back to Ghana. The jollof rice was spot on - it tasted just like the authentic Ghanaian jollof we grew up with. What a great idea to bring a taste of Africa to Ottawa! The flavors were sweet and perfectly balanced. We'll definitely be back for more!“

“The food here is simply amazing …. If you have never tried Somali (East African) cuisine I suggest you run to ASAL right now and place your order (or order through Uber eats/Skip etc whatever you prefer) … their food will change your life … go early as they will sell out the food is just that good and made to order I should add … you must try a sambusa or 2 or 3 … what are you waiting for order NOW you’ll be happy you did!!!

“Lovely smooth coffee at the Laurier West location; gracious service; tasty food choices.“

“great food great taste very nice people 😀 👍“

“Best food ever“

“The food was amazing and diverse. I went with two others who are on vegetarian diets and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals. As for myself I ordered the beef fitfit and was really impressed with it.

Moreover, the hospitality was amazing. They were so accommodating, friendly and patient. We came in at a time when they’re usually closed however they still accommodated us. The service is second to none.

Finally, the ambience was great! It’s a nice, spacious and open lounge with high ceilings and very traditional decor throughout the place. Although it was a little dark and the lights could have been a bit brighter it was a great setting to enjoy a meal.“

“The food and the staff were amazing. I had some lamb, rice and kwanga (should have taken plantain instead of kwanga as it was tastier). Our server was very kind and energetic. Music was nice but the seating could have been a bit better. I will most certainly go back.“

“Detola!!!! You've been blessing me with delicious food since I was 7 months pregnant! I’m not Nigerian, I’m from the Caribbean ,but my husband, our new baby, and I make sure to visit Detola’s at least once or twice a month.

She truly cooks from the heart. You can feel the love in every bite , it’s not just about business, it’s about service, flavor, and soul!

I highly, highly recommend checking it out. The space is clean, simple, and welcoming, and the food is absolutely DELICIOUS!

Thank you, sis Detola. We don’t personally know each other, but your food has been such a blessing to me. We’ll definitely be back!“
