Décevant & immonde. Pour les 21 ans de mon amoureux, je l'ai apportez à ce restaurant le 10 janvier 2026 à 18h. Je regrette pleinement!

Premièrement, la serveuse ne parlait pas français & elle ne comprenait même pas mon anglais alors il y avait une barrière linguistique. Elle était en train de manger en même temps qu'elle était sur son IPad à écouter un film ou une série parce qu'il y avait personne ce que j'ai trouvé pour ma part un gros manque de professionnalisme

Deuxièmement, j'avais l'impression de manger du sable. À chaque 3 minutes, j'avais des bouts d'ossessements en enlever de ma cuillère.. Le fufu était ce qui était le plus comestible la sauce ne l'était clairement pas. De plus, j'ai pris le Fufu le plus populaire sur la carte qui est le Egusi sauce & mon amoureux le Ogbono sauce, que de la déception dans les deux plats.. La texture du Ogbono n'était pas normale selon internet & nous & il y avait un fort arrière goût. On a pris à peine des boucher qu'on a fini par demander le reçu. Le prix n'en vallait pas la peine pour ce qui goûtait. J'ai été gentille, j'ai quand même laissé un pourboire, mais je ne recommande ce restaurant pour les Fufu sauce graine!! J'aurais du demander un remboursement complet ou partiel car les repas à valaient vraiment pas la peine..!

Pour en finir, ça fait depuis samedis soirs qu'on a des maux de ventre & de la diarrhée!

I brought my parents up to Montreal for a visit & this restaurant was cherry on top of the trip! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional. Very cordial, very welcoming. Very clean environment & the venue OPENED ON TIME!

We had the Ogbono Soup, Bitterleaf Soup & Seafood Okra. All well seasoned, not salty, not too spicy. Very flavorful, authentic Nigerian food.

Will definitely come back any time I'm in town!

I like this restaurant very much. It is my first time to eat African food. It is very suitable for my Chinese stomach. I especially recommend beef suya & fried plantain. If you like spicy food, you can try goat soup, tastes good. Fufu is also very unique, my husband likes it. The environment is very relaxing & perfect for hanging out with friends. Service is very nice.

This small African restaurant offers a warm & cozy atmosphere, making you feel right at home. The food is authentic & flavorful, with a special emphasis on their stews & bean dishes, which are perfectly spiced to bring out the rich, vibrant flavors of African cuisine. The service is excellent, with friendly & attentive staff who are more than happy to answer any questions & offer great recommendations. It's a wonderful spot to enjoy delicious, authentic African dishes & experience a touch of exotic flair. Highly recommended!
