Nos avons choisi Hot Africa car il avait de bons commentaires & nous n avons pas été déçu. Cuisine❤?: nous avons pris le poulet braisé, le Ndole & le tilapia braisé, accompagné de riz & de banane plantain. Les plats étaient énormes, & les saveurs inoubliables on enca pour son argent (on nous a prévenu que la préparation prendrait un peu de temps, chose normael à mon sens quand on cuisine du poisson & autres mets). Nous avons reçu un acceuil chaleureux💖,comme si nous étions chez eux, leurs invités à la maison, on nous a offert des beignets traditionnels délicieux, en nous racontant que tous es enfants au Cameroun amènent ces beignets à l' école, on nous a aussi fait goûté au jus d hibiscus quel délice.De la bonne musique d'ambiance africaine. Un de leur amis qui fait parti de la scène musicale africaine est venu nous parler, il passait sur le écran de télévision à ce moment là.

Merci pour cette belle rencontre, bon succès.

We were running late for a concert & Cristale accommodated us. The fish, plantain & rice were so fresh & delicious. Drove from Ottawa & this has been the best fish we have had. This is our go to African restaurant ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks so much Cristal for the delicious food!

Highly recommended. I was visiting Montreal with my wife & my twin boys that are 3. My 3 year old kids are very picky with food, but they ate rice & plantain like never before. My wife is great cook & very picky too, if she says the meal is good then, it's really good. & she loved it too. We ordered 3 meals & service was really fast. Don't even get me started on quantity. We could not finish all 3 meals. Price is great, I've eaten at several places in Montreal in one week that we spent in the city, & no restaurant could beat this place with price & quantity.
