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..“

“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.“

“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!“

“I recently visited Wannag restaurant and it was a great experience overall. The food was rich in flavour and satisfying, especially the meat dishes - the goat and T bone steak were tender, juicy and well seasoned, with generous portions that almost felt like more than one meal. Also their tea has its unique flavor and it worth try it.“

“We ordered the Kitoko (pondu -fufu) and Buga (egusi fufu) to try and the taste was exceptional! Will definitely be back to try more! The servers were so kind and accommodating.
Love African food and love how the restaurant celebrates Nigerian culture!“

“Great food and vibe! We ordered to sit in and more to takeout. On the higher price point but definitely worth it for the impeccable food quality, great service and lovely space. I recommend the beef suya mix bowl as well as the agege burger, and authentic shawarma too! ✨✨“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😍❤💋💋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“nice and clean good food good service“

“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.“

“An amazing place to eat with delicious food. I have been going to African Palace since I was a teen and in all these year, I've yet to be disappointed. They catered some of my wedding. I love getting the platter to share with friends and family.“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“Absolutely delicious!
The Nigerian food around!
We ordered the Egusi, Efo Riro, Ayamase, and Asun, and every dish was packed with authentic flavor and made with high quality meats and ingredients. We were not disappointed!

When I called to place our order, Bebe was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind as she guided me through our modifications. That’s what I call amazing customer service.

This place is truly a hidden gem, if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!“

“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.“

“She has some of the best tasting naija food in the city. If you want authentic Yoruba bukka…. She got it, and she will low key give you some amazing deals if you ask her. Thank you Ma for all the grace and pluses. You no Dey fall hand at all. Always tasty.“

“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.“

“good food neat and clean“

“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“

“I stumbled on Inside Lagos one evening after a really long day. I was just driving around to clear my head when I saw the name Inside Lagos at Keeles by Finch and something told me to stop. A kind and pleasant lady, who I later found out owns the place, welcomed me with such good customer care and warmth that I immediately felt at ease.

I ordered amala with dry fish and ponmo, and honestly, it reminded me of home. The jollof rice had that smoky Nigerian taste I’ve missed for years, and the suya was just right, spicy and flavorful. The food was fresh, the place was neat, and there was this homely atmosphere that made me relax like I was back in Nigeria.

Since that day, I just keep going back. Not only because it’s fancy, but because it feels real- the food, the people, the vibe. This is the best and most tasty Nigerian food I have tasted here in a restaurant.“

“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.“
