West African Restaurants near York, ON

“food is good no complain“

“We were visiting Toronto, so I pre-booked a special meal for my husband to surprise him, something he had not eaten in 9 years - real pounded yam. The sound of the mortar and pestle, like music to his ears! The food was amazing, vegetable on-point! He was so pleased, he didn't eat anything else that day.
The staff were very pleasant, chef Made also visited our table while we enjoyed the meal. It was worth every dime. Thank you, we will surely be visiting again.
Sorry we almost finished the food before I remembered to take a picture!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food. Always fresh.“

“Honestly. This place is great.
Because I and my friends have been coming here it’s over a year.
Very relaxed atmosphere, nice sitting area to watch their large screen TV.
Jollof rice is priceless and I just discovered their hot pepper soup.
Yikes !
Shola the owner along with Yola (culinary queen chef) are terrific hosts. Professional and respectful is what you will always receive.“

“Keyo's Pot may be a home kitchen, but the quality of the food speaks for itself! I ordered the egusi soup, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and just like home in Nigeria. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preparing each meal, and you can truly taste the freshness and hygiene. The spice level was just right, and I enjoyed every bite. Thank you for the amazing soup! I highly recommend Keyo's Pot.“

“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.“

“Our favourite Nigerian cuisine by far! The way the food here tastes in comparison to other restaurants is on a much higher quality level.The cooks are on point, and have been working there for years. The owner, Funmi is extremely friendly and caring.Highly recommend the egussi soup, pounded yam, and goat meat or assorted meat. Their jollof rice is also extremely tasty and we enjoy the beans as well.“

“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“

“I've always wanted to try fufu and egusi, and I will say this is the best place to have it. My roommate's and I loved every bite!! Food was delicious, staff were super friendly. 100% recommend and we will be back! 🔥🔥“

“Rita’s kitchen owner please my humble question, aside that fair tall lady with pimples , can’t you get anyone to cook or serve customers…. Because she is making you loose customers each and every day.. and I guess so many complaints has been done and you people are still keeping her.
I complained to her last week Friday with regards to a food she served us being soo spicy and her response to my complaint was rude as if I don’t know what I’m saying.. I was pissed with her response but my partner ask me to ignore it because that’s her character… We just went there to buy because of the comments I gave over her last time, she told me they don’t have that food… whilst leaving your shop, I heard the woman with shaved her asking her why she didn’t sell the food and she told her she wouldn’t sell it because I passed a comment… I’m at golden gate now eating and I’m gonna make sure my friends don’t come there to eat too , if we are always gonna be met with rudeness for buying food from your shop… thank you“

“amazing experience at African Chopbar last night. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Jollof Rice and Pepper Goat, and the service was top-notch. Our waiter, Rege, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening“

“Excellent experience. I'm not sure why there are many recent complaints about this establishment. Food is somewhat pricey but it is worth the quality that it delivers. I live in the States, travel quite often to other cities, and this spot is definitely top tier on my list. Keep up the good work and God bless!“

“I took a quick trip to Oyato African food market to bulk up on African black soap, on my way out I seen ola there door advertised fresh restaurant and catered food. I went in and was greeted by two sweet elders aunty & auncle and they gently gave me the menu I seen all the great tasty fire dishes but I had to keep it humble with my diabetes. So I just ordered the cheapest thing on the menu mashed beans . They looked at me like that’s it! I laughed like “yeah I have my green banana at home to Dip” ! They were like okay I waited no more than 10 minutes cause it’s a pretty simple dish.some nice west African gospel was playing on the flatscreen I would say I got a nice homey vibes were your welcomed to eat ! And that’s what I love comfortable and calm I kindly asked the chef if she could add a water and ginger ale to my meal. And it came up to $15.00 they only had visa debit at the moment not credit card.Id say it’s worth the price I even had left overs for a day which I liked cause it tasted alot better. I recommend sitting in if you’re used to traditional settings and need a good quick tasty meal or ordering take out or delivery.“
