African Restaurants near York, ON

“food is good no complain“

“I brought my buddy here to try Somali food for the first time and we had a wonderful experience! Even though we showed up towards the end of the night, the server was warm, friendly, and patient in helping us decide what to eat. The hot sauce was outrageously good and can't say enough good things about the steak. Fairly priced and great quality. Tip of the cap to the chef!“

“Ordered their egusi and pounded yam on doordash, food is great in terms of taste and it was fresh. I’m giving them a 3 cos they are too pricey it’s actually ridiculous!
I also paid for extra pounded yam but didn’t get it (probably missed it though but i’m pained cos i paid for it and it’s expensive)

UPDATE- you actually pay extra if it’s pounded yam, so i didn’t pay for extra pounded yam, my bad. Now updating to a 4 since the price is the major issue.“

“I have been going to ID love for some time now. One thing I can tell you is that the food is phenomenal! We ordered nwkobi, jollof rice, plantain and fried yam and it was delicious! We met the owner who was kind and interactive. The only thing I would change is the lighting as the restaurant is dimly lit and it's a bit difficult to see your food. Also some background music would be ideal as well. Overall, food was amazing.“

“Forget the nano fancy pictures.
This is the best restaurant in Toronto. I come here every time I want guaranteed good food for an amazing price.
$20 for a meal for two with a dessert, juice and soup. Anywhere else this is easily $50 meal.
They are very consistent with their quality.
I’m not sure if the owner is a hijabi woman but they are hiring a lot of Hijabi Ladies which I think is one of the reasons they are soo good and clean.“

“Muskhaki is an amazing place to grab food and worth the commute to go to! My go to is always the Alfredo pasta with the spicy chicken and a muskhahi fries. The place is clean, the food is so good and I will always be coming to muskhaki for more. I also recommend their muskhaki cake it's also a must try.“

“Really delicious! The fumbwa (spinach and dried fish stew) was fragrant, creamy, and a standout for me. The jollof rice was also lovely and the chicken was perfectly seasoned with a nice char. It's also great how each table is named for a capital city of a West African country. Can't wait to come back for more.“

“Coming from Brampton, it was so worth it..

We had such a great experience from we walked in until we left with our food.

The gentleman that served us was beyond helpful and had great suggestions..The food order process was easy and people friendly..

We had the shrimp suya wrap and ooooooh my..it was so good..the burst of flavors..the cucumbers added that perfect crunch...but that slaw sealed the deal..

I had the chicken suya with jollof rice..geeeeeze Greelz, I'm doing a happy dance..He had the beef suya with jollof rice and he loved as well.

Oh and we met the man himself ☺..such a humble man..

It was my 1st time eating Nigerian food but it won't be my last ooo..

Thank you Greelz..Big up..“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“Mary is always so lovely and warm welcoming. I’ve been coming since I moved to the neighbourhood and was hand-fed by Mary herself with every bit of delicious flavour on the platter. I try to bring every friend, date, person here once in a while! Consistently satisfying every time.“

“Ruumors exceeded my expectations! The ambiance was elegant, the music created the perfect vibe, and the service was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the jollof rice and grilled dishes. Every bite was full of flavor. The cocktails were also expertly crafted. It’s refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers great food, excellent customer service, and an unforgettable atmosphere all in one place.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered via uber and was blown away by this food. Tried grilled tuna, fufu, plum nut sauce with goat. Never tried this cuisine before so I was taking a chance this weekend.

I had no idea West African food is so tasty and flavourful!!!!

I will definitely visit in person next time.
Thank you for introducing me to something amazing 😍😍“

“nice and clean good food good service“

“This is the third Nigerian restaurant I’ve tried for egusi soup, and it’s definitely the best one so far. The egusi wasn’t too oily and had really great flavour. I liked the slight tomato base, and there was no fishy taste at all, which I appreciated. The poundo was also a perfect texture and went really well with the egusi.

I ordered it with chicken, and the pieces were huge which was great but they did take up most of the container. I would’ve liked a bit more egusi because of that.

The only thing I’d say is it could’ve used alot more spice/pepper but that might be on me for not asking. If it had a little more heat, it would’ve easily been a 10/10. Price point is great ! 25$ before tax on uber not including fees“

“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!“

“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.“

“Honestly this food was so good I will be buying weekly in large quantities😍! And they actually give you meat and portions. Will order again. I would say it does take time but the food it so fresh the meat is tender I would say 10/10 and worth the wait. I just wish they had more soft drink options online“

“good food neat and clean“

“Very good“

“Mom and Pop operated gem for East African style Indian take-out food. Excellent quality! Friendly helpful service from this older couple. Beef ribs, mishkaki (marinated beef chunks), tandoori offerings, mogo (cassava), etc., located on Warden Ave, just north of the 401. I will drive there from the west side of Toronto for their food and will pick up a variety of authentic dishes, very reasonably priced to keep my fridge stocked for a few days. Wish they were closer but just so glad they are still around. No tables, parking available in a strip mall.“

“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“

“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“

“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“
