Auntie Lizzy's Kitchen is tucked at the back of a small plaza in Etobicoke, serving traditional Ghanaian and Nigerian food. This place is somewhat 'hidden' as it's not readily apparent from the street. When you enter the plaza, turn right and go straight until the end, then turn left. It's located at the back, beside G Central Market (a small grocery store serving staples and ingredients to make Western African dishes). It's mostly a take-out place, with only 2 small tables (4 chairs each) in the restaurant. There is a TV screen but not much else. Note that there is no washroom for customers inside, and no washroom in any of the other neighbouring businesses in the plaza either (so plan accordingly). Most people come here for take-out / food pick-up. The menu on the website and UberEats (for delivery / take-out) is bigger and has more items, compared to the menu that's displayed inside the restaurant. According to the website and UberEats menus, they serve both Ghanaian and Nigerian dishes. But the menu on display when we got there only had Ghanaian dishes (which was ok, because we came for the Ghanaian food anyway). Service-wise, it was excellent. The person who took our order and served us was nice and friendly. The food was great! I love Western African food in general. The Waakye came as a large plate of rice and beans (my favourite!), spaghetti, plantain, boiled egg, small salad, and choice of protein (we chose fried fish). The sauce on the fish was a bit spicy but it was delicious. The Plantain with Beans dish came with a LOT of plantain slices that were slightly crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the inside. They weren't too sweet and more on the savoury side, so they paired perfectly with the beans stew that was packed full of flavour. This dish also came with fried fish. We ordered 2 extra side salad for extra veggies. They were just shredded lettuce, carrot, and a few small pieces of cucumber. The down side is that because this is mainly a take-out place, they served us using plastic forks and knives (instead of reusable utensils). The side salads also came in plastic containers to be thrown away right after eating, despite us eating in (instead of getting take-aways). No biggie, as we still enjoyed the food immensely, but it could've been more sustainable and environmentally friendly with reusable utensils and plates / bowls.

Had lunch with the family at this restaurant - our experience was fantastic! For a ton of Ghanaian food that we ordered, everything was ready in less than 20 mins and tasted delicious. The restaurant is super clean and the owners were extremely friendly and welcomed us warmly.For the service and food, I highly recommend the restaurant!

Absolutely BEST Jollof ive eaten in Canada. Im a huge fan of jollof so I’ve tasted it all.. Aunty Lizzy’s food is indeed worth the hype. Chicken was well seasoned and moist too. Plantain and beans were excellent as well. I would love to use her restaurant for catering one day. Thank you!

Mainly takeaway-place I guess, but you can also eat there if you want - thats what we did, when we took a little side step from our biketrip along Humber River to have lunch at Auntie Lizzys Kitchen.And it was worth it! Great Ghanan style food, kind service - what a nice place and unique food. Some dishes are hot, f ex Goat Soup (kind of chili-hot and plenty of ginger) and some are milder, like the Jollof Rice.
I drive 2 and a half hours from a different country to come eat here the food is very fresh and clean and as soon as you walk in you feel as if you are home. I've brought friends, loved ones and family, and Business ran by hard working and caring people. As for the food is spicy reviews I don't get it because authentic Ghanaian food is spicy, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. In my opinion this place is a 5 out of 5.

Don’t bother going to this restaurant . Food is the worst in Toronto .I belieave is for alcoholics so if u one then that’s your place but other done that go anywhere but not this place . They even have palm oil ( the red oil ) in awaakye and I bet u to try that because that will make you not eat awaakye again
