African Restaurants near York, ON

“food is good no complain“

“Guys, it is the best restaurant in Toronto in terms of food quality.. but the place is shameful.. and it is not suitable for families.. the restaurant has a very old system and service.. it has nothing to do with technology and the modern style of restaurants.. but in terms of food quality and price it is the best without a competitor..“

“The food here is amazing. I've never had issues with quality or quantity. However, the lighting in the restaurant could be better. I understand that the intention might be to create a relaxing environment, but I think it could be a little brighter. If you're not dining in, it won't be an issue, though.

Parking: Parking is sufficient.“

“Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Mushkaki! The food was perfectly cooked flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish we ordered felt like it was made with real care and attention to detail.

A special mention to Salma, whose service truly stood out. She was incredibly polite, attentive, and made sure everything was just right from start to finish. Her friendly attitude added such a welcoming touch to the whole experience.

Highly recommend Mushkaki for anyone looking for great food, warm service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming 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!“

“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 !!“

“While at the restaurant with my friend
We received a warm reception by Mathias the server. He was so polite and friendly that made us feel welcome. He is a nice person and he loves his job. I wish to recommend others to come and dine at Nganda African street food.“

“Amazing place to check out. The food is top and well priced - you won't be leaving this place hungry or disappointed. The Jollof with chicken is a big recommendation. Service is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth to come back.“

“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!!!“

“Visiting from Ireland and brought my colleagues here! Great service and food.

Opeyemi was very accommodating and nice. Food came so quick.

Colleagues loveddd the food!! First experience with Nigerian food and it was a HIT!!! Recommended.“

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

“I'm a Caribbean girl, I can't remember if I've ever had Nigerian food. However, I kept seeing pepper soup on my Pinterest and as an avid Nigerian movie fan I was motivated to try it. I had no clue what to expect but It looked so good online I had to find it . I searched a Nigerian restaurant near me and found this hidden gem and guess what ? They had pepper soup with assorted meat. Anyways I ordered some pepper soup and let me tell you that I am in loveeeeeeeeee!! Don't get me wrong it's so spicy and I couldn't finish it in a day but I loved every bit of it. I haven't tried the other dishes but I'll recommend the pepper soup over and over again.“

“The food was so good that I had to j hold myself back from eating more so I could share it with my folks after. They gave me more soup so that my folks could get the real experience. They're was another family there who had two kids. They put on kids shows so that they could be entertained and also held their baby while they ate and chatted. Would definitely recommend. The place is along the sorry end of the building plaza and has limited seating but 100% worth it.“

“Absolutely, we received five-star services, I attended my niece's wedding over the weekend, the Star banquet team's positive energy was amazing, food was great and served with style, well trained team, thank you Mohamed Ward, Yusuf Abdi, and Obama, they owned the stage.“

“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!“

“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.“

“nice and clean good food good service“

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant! Mary is the kindest and most welcoming presence.
The food is all very fresh, fulfilling, and I always leave with a full stomach and a bit of leftover injera! Value is great, it's a sit down restaurant with beautiful decor and the way the individual meals are plated and served is so special. If you're unsure what to get, the veggie platter (for 1, 2, or many more) is great, and so is the meat & veggie platter.

One small note, I wish the bathroom was a bit bigger. Since it's a meal you eat with your hands, making a trip down stairs to wash up before and after eating is not the most accessible for some disabled folks, and it's a bit small in the bathroom. Honestly think that just having more napkins and water at tables would be a nice improvement.
The lentil soup is warming, my fav meal is the Shiro Wat, and I wish they were open earlier in the day since I'd love to try the coffee ceremony, but can't have caffeine too late. All in all, this is the #1 spot I love taking friends, family, and would even make a great date night. Love Mary and her team, and grateful for African Palace“

“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.“

“Best Cameroonian restaurant in GTA area! The sfeer is relaxed reception is amazing and the food is delicious and presentation is top-notch! Cozy place to relax with friends and colleagues.“

“Stopped by Afro Continental Ghanaian Restaurant for dinner with a friend and really enjoyed the food. I had the waakye and goat suya; both were delicious and well-seasoned. The prices were quite affordable and definitely competitive compared to other similar spots in the area.

My friend got the jollof rice with meat and she enjoyed her dish as well.

As for the service…it’s about what you’d expect from a typical African restaurant. Nothing extraordinary, but it got the job done. At the end of the day, the food made it worth it. We’d definitely come back but only for takeout.“

“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.“

“Little Naija Restaurant is a hidden gem The food is authentic and delicious, with generous portions and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. It's a great spot to enjoy a taste of Nigeria with friends and family..“

“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.“

“good food neat and clean“

“It was an incredible experience.They made my six-day stay in Toronto, Canada truly unforgettable. food was exceptional, especially efo riro vegetables,pounded yam and jollof rice.Good customer service“

“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“

“The food here is excellent. The ribs, mushkaki and mogo are yummy.
The ordering and service needs work though.
There is no clear menu for ordering over the phone it is just pictures on fb or old prices on google maps.
The person on the phone does not repeat back the order leading to mistakes.
They need to give prices as well as a final total for phone orders.
Love the restaurant and we will keep coming back but they really need to figure out a better ordering system.“

“Very good“

“Suya Bistro Vaughan is a hidden gem! Their jollof rice is rich, smoky, and full of authentic flavor—one of the best Nigerian jollof rice I’ve had. The customer service is just as impressive—warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food and excellent hospitality!“

“Great ambience, solid Gbedu“

“Regalz Kitchen & Bar is famous for cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Only who has visited the place recently is well known for its unique service.“
