West African Restaurants near North York, ON

“Our favourite Nigerian cuisine by far! The way the food here tastes in comparison to other restaurants is on a much higher quality level.The cooks are on point, and have been working there for years. The owner, Funmi is extremely friendly and caring.Highly recommend the egussi soup, pounded yam, and goat meat or assorted meat. Their jollof rice is also extremely tasty and we enjoy the beans as well.“

“amazing experience at African Chopbar last night. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Jollof Rice and Pepper Goat, and the service was top-notch. Our waiter, Rege, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening“

“It was an incredible experience.They made my six-day stay in Toronto, Canada truly unforgettable. food was exceptional, especially efo riro vegetables,pounded yam and jollof rice.Good customer service“

“I took a quick trip to Oyato African food market to bulk up on African black soap, on my way out I seen ola there door advertised fresh restaurant and catered food. I went in and was greeted by two sweet elders aunty & auncle and they gently gave me the menu I seen all the great tasty fire dishes but I had to keep it humble with my diabetes. So I just ordered the cheapest thing on the menu mashed beans . They looked at me like that’s it! I laughed like “yeah I have my green banana at home to Dip” ! They were like okay I waited no more than 10 minutes cause it’s a pretty simple dish.some nice west African gospel was playing on the flatscreen I would say I got a nice homey vibes were your welcomed to eat ! And that’s what I love comfortable and calm I kindly asked the chef if she could add a water and ginger ale to my meal. And it came up to $15.00 they only had visa debit at the moment not credit card.Id say it’s worth the price I even had left overs for a day which I liked cause it tasted alot better. I recommend sitting in if you’re used to traditional settings and need a good quick tasty meal or ordering take out or delivery.“

“This was my first time trying Nigerian cuisine and I was blown away by the delicious food! Service was super friendly and accommodating as well. We started with the chicken wings tossed in hot honey with yaaji spice (ginger peanut bbq rub) -super crisp and juicy! We ordered spicy which was the perfect balance of heat and flavor. My favorite dish was the egusi and greens! My Nigerian friend ordered the pounded yam for me to eat the soup with. It’s like a thicker mashed potato, fresh and an excellent compliment to the savory soup! The soup was chock full of chicken and seasonings I couldn’t quite place, bold and savory flavor! We also ordered the cauliflower in a peanut sauce-perfectly fried and great to eat with the wings! My partner ordered the party jollof rice-delicious almost barbaque flavored rice layered with flavors of a seafood and sweet spice stock 😋 And the slow and plantains were the perfect accompaniments! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious food with lots of heart poured into it.“

“food is good no complain“

“one of the best place to eat our traditional food in Toronto. Jellof rice, pepper snails and pepper goat meat was exquisitely delicious 😍❤💋💋“

“First time visiting this spot and had a great experience . Our host Cece was wonderful ! She was very attentive while taking our order and answered every question we had. The food was delicious , enjoyed every bit of it. Will definitely be back to try the puff puff recommended to us by our host !“

“Stopped by Afro Continental Ghanaian Restaurant for dinner with a friend and really enjoyed the food. I had the waakye and goat suya; both were delicious and well-seasoned. The prices were quite affordable and definitely competitive compared to other similar spots in the area.

My friend got the jollof rice with meat and she enjoyed her dish as well.

As for the service…it’s about what you’d expect from a typical African restaurant. Nothing extraordinary, but it got the job done. At the end of the day, the food made it worth it. We’d definitely come back but only for takeout.“

“Keyo's Pot may be a home kitchen, but the quality of the food speaks for itself! I ordered the egusi soup, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and just like home in Nigeria. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preparing each meal, and you can truly taste the freshness and hygiene. The spice level was just right, and I enjoyed every bite. Thank you for the amazing soup! I highly recommend Keyo's Pot.“

“We had the pleasure of having Made's Kitchen assist us with catering an event this past weekend, and they were so great to work with. They were punctual, had great food, and a lovely team serving and preparing food fresh for the guests. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for authentic Nigerian cuisine!“

“Excellent food. Always fresh.“

“If you are looking for authentic Nigerian food in Toronto, look no further. I ordered their street food special, and since then I can’t stop singing their praises. I definitely recommend Kulu’s kitchen for anyone looking to enjoy or taste Nigerian authentic food.“

“My gf Layal and I tried this Ghanan Restaurant on Islington last night that was a hidden gem near our tattoo place.
We tried the Fu-Fuo(potato dumpling),Jollof Rice(chicken&egg) served with mixed spinach.
Owner was very friendly and the spice was just right and still have left overs for today.
We are happy we tried this place. Next time fish dish“
