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.“

“First time trying Somali food and was pleasantly surprised. They didn’t have the lamb which was a bummer but the goat was still good. Large portion size with salad / soup and a juice. Restaurant is clean and inviting, give it a go if you’re looking for something new.“

“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.“

“We came here right before the Blue Jays game and we were able to get seated right away! The owner was so thoughtful and gave us some good recommendations. He even brought my friend soup with his fufu as it’s how traditionally eaten! The food was so flavorful and filling and they even had vegetarian/vegan options! Highly recommend next time you’re in the area!“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“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.“

“Excellent Ethiopian food with rich variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The injera paired perfectly with everything, and the portions were generous. The staff are very kind and helpful if you are new to the cuisine. A great spot to meet friends, share a meal, and lovingly feed one another!“

“Greelz on Bloor is more than amazing...it is fantastic. I ordered the beef suya joloff bowl and it was delicious, the flavour is flavourful.....literally a fusion in my mouth with every bite. I also ordered a side of plantine as well, the plantine was ripe and soft...just the way I like it.

The customer service was superb! Chef Tee and his team were very nice. And the beautiful lady who served me was very hospitable.

I came all the way from Mississauga Ontario, it was worth the trip, and it was also worth the price. Greelz is hands down the best Nigerian food restaurant in Toronto and in the GTA!“

“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.“

“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 😍❤💋💋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“nice and clean good food good service“

“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 was surprised to find great Ethiopian food near me. The lady running the stall was so nice. I just asked if they had a combo, and this is what she gave me. Four veggie dishes, all super flavorful. Also a TON of injera, I have a big appetite, and I couldn't finish it! Please go support them!“

“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 😍😍“

“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.“

“good food neat and clean“

“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“

“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.“

“Very good“

“I had heard great things about Jikoni Grill, and they absolutely lived up to the reviews.

I was really missing my late Mom's cooking and decided to give them a try. I ordered the masala fish, daal, chicken curry with rice, and chicken samosas.

Every dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The food was so comforting that it brought back wonderful memories of my Mom's home cooking—a feeling that's hard to find.
The service was warm and welcoming, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable.

Thank you, Jikoni Grill, for such a memorable meal.

You've definitely gained a loyal customer, and I look forward to coming back again and again.“

“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“

“I’ve been eating here for over 10 years love it. Waakye has me in a chokehold and since I don’t live in the area DoorDash has been my life saver. Will always pick this spot when the Ghanaian cravings hit me 🤍“
