West African Restaurants near Toronto, ON

“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.“

“Very good“

“I was going to order from Uber eats but something told me to check the reviews. I’ve only given 5 stars because I feel bad that these people don’t care to look at their reviews and make changes. Thank God I did not waste my money to be disappointed. I always like giving Nigerian restaurants the benefit of the doubt but not anymore. Please save yourself time and effort and just get suya bistro“

“Excellent food. Always fresh.“

“We were visiting Toronto, so I pre-booked a special meal for my husband to surprise him, something he had not eaten in 9 years - real pounded yam. The sound of the mortar and pestle, like music to his ears! The food was amazing, vegetable on-point! He was so pleased, he didn't eat anything else that day.
The staff were very pleasant, chef Made also visited our table while we enjoyed the meal. It was worth every dime. Thank you, we will surely be visiting again.
Sorry we almost finished the food before I remembered to take a picture!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“
