I really recommend everyone to visit this restaurant. One thing you don't have to worry is satisfaction guaranteed and tests nice.“

“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.“

The meat was tender and spiced perfectly.The owner and her niece are so kind. Thanks for everything!We will be back again and again!“

“Today I invited my husband to walk around our neighborhood and choose a new restaurant to try. As we passed by the African Palace, we became curious and I said to him, "Are you up for the challenge?" We had never eaten Ethiopian food before, so we didn't know exactly what to expect, but we were open-minded. In the end, the outing and the choice were a pleasant surprise. We loved the experience, the food, the textures, the spices, and the service. Everything was truly delicious!“

“Came here late night and the place was packed! I was surprised how busy the place was but it all made sense after I tried the food.We ordered a chicken wrap and mixed beef wrap and both were good.

Is mouthwatering!!!The meat or protein is made to your desired tenderness.Thank you for sharing a taste of Nigeria here in Canada with us!!!!“

Definitely, reccomend to everyone and will be coming back.Thank you for the great experience.“

“This very discreet very low key restaurant has the BEST East African Indian food I've tried anywhere!! The flavours are perfectly blended across a wide range of dishes which was very impressive and earned a 5 star review my first visit (which I rarely do). Also a nice bonus is the owner is very friendly and hospitable...! Will be back regularly. Pro tip: order in advance for larger items / ribs to avoid a wait.“

“This is the best Nigerian food place in Toronto! Like I cook very good soups because I'm from Akwa-Ibom, so it is usually difficult to find anything I can enjoy, like I cannot risk soups at all, but I've had this restaurant's okro and a whole banga, they were amazing to the point that I'm commenting on google!! Just go and try!!!“

“This is the most affordable Nigerian meal I’ve had since getting to Canada. I got the small gizzard with a side of Jollof rice and extra plantain. It was a good meal and I was soo full. It is a good enough portion if you’re someone who doesn’t have a large appetite. The interior was pretty nice. My friend and I had a lovely night. There was a man at the bar area when we got in and then a lady from the kitchen who attended to us and they were both soo nice!“

“My wife and I visited Mushkaki on a Ramadan night for iftaar. After asking the gentleman taking our order his recommendation, we ordered Mushkaki Fries. The fries were delightful with just the right amount of sauce. Upon wrapping up, we were waved by the Head Chef to wait a moment. We were pleasantly surprised to receive two complimentary Biscoff Shakes. This put a smile on our faces and made our day. Thanks again to the restaurant staff for the kind gesture!“

“Guys, if you've never try this, then you miss something delicious and the staff are very friendly and politeParking: Very large parking spot and is freeKid-friendliness: Oh the staff are nice to kids and they have sweet cakes and ice cream for kids“

“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!“
