“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!“

“My company recently ordered from African BBQ House in Ottawa. Everyone was blown away by the portions and flavors of the food. The owner and staff were incredible with accommodating my order when given short notice and were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 10/10!“

“Visited Fumi for the first time. Wonderful n delicious African cuisine. Excellent service n friendly. Will definetly go back.“

“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.“

“Double 7 is a true gem in Ottawa! From the moment you enter, you are greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The menu offers an incredible selection of authentic African dishes, all rich in flavor and prepared with the utmost care. Every bite transports you to the heart of Africa, with dishes that are both comforting and exciting.“

“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!“

“We were a group consisting of six people. Some were having Ethiopian/Eritrean food for the first time. Some were vegetarian and others were not. Food and service were excellent. We ordered the vegetarian platter, shiro and tibs. Everyone was happy with the food, coffee and popcorn. We will be 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!“
