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 !!“

“After ordering online for so long, I'm so glad I went in store to dine with my family tonight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was great as usual and we had a lovely evening. Lateef, Cephas and Habeebah were incredible and made sure we felt very comfortable. Will definitely visit again!!“

“We ordered the chicken, goat, plantains and jollof rice. Great meal, my favourite is the chicken. The plantains were not bad, I just prefer them more ripe. The rice was slightly drier than expected, but the goat had a lot of meat and not too much bones, which I honestly appreciate.
Service could be faster, but they were really nice.
Would definitely come back, this restaurant is a must-try!“

“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 😍❤💋💋“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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.“

“I don't know the first thing about Ethiopian food, but my wife likes it and enjoyed this. The server - who I think might be the owner - was fantastic, very friendly. The restaurant was well maintained (that used to be a given at restaurants, much less so these days), clean, and had a very family friendly vibe.

Will definitely go again!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“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!“

“My experience here was awesome due to the customer service excellence and professionalism portrayed by Temi.
She was very courteous all through my interaction with her.
The food also was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
I am definitely coming back to this location for more service.
Thank you Temi and Team.“

“This Abula took me to Lagos!!!“Inside Lagos Kitchen” offered a delightful experience with the Amala, complemented by Ewedu and Gbegiri. While the stew accompanying the Gbegiri and Ewedu could be improved, the blend of all three elements created a delicious combination. There were four meat pieces. I like that the Shaki was big, but I wish it were softer.The Beef Suya, although well-seasoned and tasty, was dry and challenging to chew. On a positive note, the Efo stood out, impressing with its well-seasoned meat pieces and fresh look.The Ewa Aganyin seemed overpriced for its size and taste, as the beans were quite dry and the sauce was “slappy”. I didn’t enjoy this one.Lest I forget, the food was tightly sealed in the package. And even after it was delivered, the food remained well-presented! I love that.I can order from here again ?.“

“Growing up in the neighbourhood to the east of here, Moore Park, I was starving for anything interesting and authentic. I felt I grew up in the whitest and most sterile place in the universe and even wrote songs and traveled the world singing about how boring Canada is and how brainwashed the culture is. My neighbourhood was filled with boring white people and that's all and I went to live in Serbia and then Thailand to get the spice of life. On a short visit to visit my beloved family in Toronto, I was going home on Saturday night (23.06.2024) at 1AM and I noticed Maison Tribe. It was popping with Latino and African music. I went in and I felt welcome, even though I was the only white person there. I danced for a while and it was super fun. The opposite of the boring place I thought I was from. Thank you Maison Tribe.“

“Very good“

“good food neat and clean“
