“Great hidden gem in Ottawa! We came on a slow night and the employee working was so kind and was able to explain the differences in the menu items.

It’s amazing how so many different flavors can coexist in a plate. You had the spicyness from the beef, the sour from the pickled beets, the bitter from the kale, the tart from the salad, and the sweet from the mashed veggies.

We received enough injera bread as well which many places will skimp out on. Overall we all left very satisfied and would happily come back again!“

“Food is fresh, tasty, affordable with amazing service“

“great food great taste very nice people 😀 👍“

“If, like me, you're looking for a taste of home away from home then look no further. Authentic Kenyan food that took me back home with the aromatic spices, fresh herbs and perfectly prepared meals. 1000% would recommend, even for non-kenyans!“

“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.“

“STUNNING SERVICE AND DELICIOUS FOOD!!! I came here to celebrate my friend’s return from China, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and greeted by Joshua and Rhsea, who provided incredible service. The food was absolutely out of this world, super tender, flavorful, and incredibly fragrant. Thank you so much for making our celebration so special! Highly recommended! 😎 🔥 🍛“

“If you want a meal that feels like a trip back home, this is it. I came across this place last year and decided to try it, as I was looking for an African restaurant with good food and this one is close to where I live. I was pregnant at the time and oh, I was absolutely obsessed with their okra sauce. I ordered every meal with it, nothing else could hit the spot! Everything is cooked so fresh and you can almost taste the care that went in preparing the meals. Yes, it might be a bit more than your average takeout, but for a true taste of home that's this delicious, it is worth every single penny. I tell all my friends they HAVE to try it. If you're looking for authentic African soul food in Ottawa stop searching and just order or better still you can dine-in.“

“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.“

“Speaking from the experience it's amazing place to be in Ottawa African vibe Canadian Vibe Ottawa Vibe it brings on all the African nation together amazing place for Couple birthday party a place to watch soccer to watch sports to eat good food I can't say no more just come check it out yourself“

“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!“
