African Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“It was sooooooo good!! First time having Somalian food. We were a party of 8. Heard excellent things about this restaurant - did not disappoint. Flavour was excellent. Nice bbq flavour. I enjoyed both the rice and chapati. We got goat ribs, t bone steak, chicken, beef steak , sambusas- everything was excellent. The complimentary mango juice, lemonade and lentil soup was also fantastic. There was also even some spicy chilli on the side - wow that was super spicy! Meal itself is flavourful without being spicy. The waitress also had impeccable service. Very efficient and thoughtful. Also don’t forget the milk cake - literally one of the best desserts I have ever had. Will definitely be back !!“

“Chef Tee is very hospitable and kind. I got the Agege burger with fries and a soft drink. And the agege brioche they used for the burger is so good! A must try. Kitchen is clean, ingredients are fresh and dining area and bathroom are clean. A Greta atmosphere. Please go support your local business! 10/10 highly recommend!“

“We ordered the Kitoko (pondu -fufu) and Buga (egusi fufu) to try and the taste was exceptional! Will definitely be back to try more! The servers were so kind and accommodating.
Love African food and love how the restaurant celebrates Nigerian culture!“

“I’ve been here before multiple times and when I say this place owes me
nothing. I just celebrated my birthday here and me and my party had an amazing time. The music was great, the vibes were through the roof, the service was amazing and the FOOD!!! CHEF’s KISS oh my!! (I promise this isn’t a fake review) but yea that Alfredo and suya really did something to meee. The samosa was very well seasoned and the perfect amount of flaky, the drinks very well mixed and the staff is very attentive and kind. Thank you again for having me and you’ll be seeing me soon!!!“

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

“This was my first time trying this type of food, and I will start off by saying that I will be going back here as much as possible! The food was absolutely delicious.Everyone who was working there was extremely kind and welcoming to my friend and myself. We each tried a bit of everything on the menu, and we had no complaints at all. We were amazed at how good it was. The chef even came out to say hi to us as we were leaving, which we found to be very nice! We were also shocked at the low prices for such high-quality fresh and home-cooked food. Thank you to everyone at Le Plato, we will be back!“

“The portions were massive and tasted superb. This is the best Nigerian Restaurant in Toronto, if you’re in the area please try to visit this place.
The lady- princess who owns the place is amazing as well. She really took care of us and was polite. The prices are reasonable as well. Also, there were free drinks with the meal.
Amazing stuff! (PS- we are tourists and don’t live in the area) ZERO COMPLAINTS.“

“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.“

“Service here is top notch! The servers are so sweet and attentive. Marta and Salam were great! Bonus: food tastes great and is super authentic! 100% would recommend if you’re looking for Ethiopian cuisine. P.S. Get the timatim fit-fit, trust me.“

“An amazing place to eat with delicious food. I have been going to African Palace since I was a teen and in all these year, I've yet to be disappointed. They catered some of my wedding. I love getting the platter to share with friends and family.“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“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.“

“We drove from out of own to eat here and we were thrilled. The food, the owner and servers were very pleasant, helpful in ordering and made our experience a wonderful one. we would definitely return .It's worth the hours drive!“

““I visited this place for takeout and was greeted by a very friendly staff member who welcomed me with a smile and was eager to help, which felt great. The food was delicious, and the interiors and seating area were impressively clean and well-maintained.“

“Very good“

“I stumbled on Inside Lagos one evening after a really long day. I was just driving around to clear my head when I saw the name Inside Lagos at Keeles by Finch and something told me to stop. A kind and pleasant lady, who I later found out owns the place, welcomed me with such good customer care and warmth that I immediately felt at ease.

I ordered amala with dry fish and ponmo, and honestly, it reminded me of home. The jollof rice had that smoky Nigerian taste I’ve missed for years, and the suya was just right, spicy and flavorful. The food was fresh, the place was neat, and there was this homely atmosphere that made me relax like I was back in Nigeria.

Since that day, I just keep going back. Not only because it’s fancy, but because it feels real- the food, the people, the vibe. This is the best and most tasty Nigerian food I have tasted here in a restaurant.“
