👍 Place is pretty much neat and very homely. Food is great. Cooked from scratch. No microwave. But it takes up to 35 minutes to get your food. I don't know if their tradition, the guy just left the food on the counter for me to serve my group. The fruit drinks like mango, pineapple, berry and hibiscus... People often mention rice,

    Place is pretty much neat and very homely. Food is great. Cooked from scratch. No microwave. But it takes up to 35 minutes to get your food. I don't know if their tradition, the guy just left the food on the counter for me to serve my group. The fruit drinks like mango, pineapple, berry and hibiscus taste fresh and delicious. You have to pick up your plates after eating. Overall, nice cosy place to eat a fresh East African cuisine.

    I passed this place several times, but I have never been interested to try their food. Finally, on a cold winter Sunday evening, I landed there to buy rice. The smell of the food attracted me. I decided to get the fish plate. They had several interesting and exotic things on the menu. The dish I ordered cost me around 16$, it was fish (grilled tilapia) served with atiéké, plantain, and salad. Everything was tasty, the way they grilled the fish is just like in my home country. It is also served with sauce and a very tiny portion of hot chilli sauce. I'm a big fan of capsaicin, so I found this chilli is a big bonus. The plantain was cooked very well, it was sweet and crispy at the same time. I can finish a box of plantain only. Unfortunately, I'm not a big an of atiéké, it tastes sour somehow, and it wasn't suitable with my palate. At the end, I cooked the rice that I had bought earlier there. It was rice from Mali, the brand of the rice is Sada. It has special fragrance, the grains were slim and the rice is sticky. I'm overall satisfied with my purchase. In this place you can also find lots of African goods, cosmetics, fish, frozen meat like beef tripe, beef tail, etc.

    Came all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia. And the food was everything! And the Nigerian lady who spoke English was super friendly! I say this as a Chef at my own restaurant in Halifax… Franyz Kitchen.

    The food is excellent but their customer services really sucks. I ordered 3 fishes for pick up. Gave then 1hr notice. I went there after making me wait for 20 minutes and told me that it wasn't ready that they need an extra hour. You need a lot of patience to eat there.

    Been there a lot. Food is always great. Service used to always be too slow. They’ve made a lot of progress in that regard. Changed my review to 5 stars.

    I can not rave about this place enough! My family and I have been travelling around Quebec essentially on a food tour (including 2 food festivals in Montreal this past week) and after a week of travelling were feeling quite lazy and decided to Doordash dinner to our AirB&B. We had no specific type of meal in mind but this restaurant popped up on my Doordash homepage. We ordered from here on a whim and OMG it has been the best meal of our trip. Like, I'm pretty sure I will be on my death bed 60 years from now saying "remember that amazing African food we had in Quebec City in 2022?" If you have the opportunity to eat a meal from here -DO IT!

    Good african dishes. A little confused service sometimes. But, one can deal with.

    The restaurant doesn’t look like much but the food tells another story. We were 8 people and it took us about 30 minutes to get our food (worth the wait). I had the beef brochettes with rice (comes with plantain). Very tasty and well seasoned. Their juices are good too (I recommend the ginger). The young man working here was working very hard, serving and cooking! God bless this establishment abundantly. Will come back for sure.

👍 We were there for lunch and there was no lineup. We ordered the croissant sandwiches and coffee, both are freshly made. Highly recommend. Staff are very helpful to suggest food from the menu.
