“This was my first Somalian food experience and it was absolutely delicious! The samosas are delicately flavoured and crispyThe chicken wraps are generously filled with perfectly seasoned chicken, and the Sabayas were fresh and warm. We also ordered the sweet chili chicken with a side of rice- absolutely delicious with subtle new flavours that were memorable. We are already planning our next order...maybe tomorrow!“
“Had the vegetarian platter here. It included an excellent variety of flavourful veggies. It was easy to be fooled by the portions because the platter was very filling and I could not finish it all!The server was lovely!Enjoyed the music being played as well“
“**A Hidden Gem with Big Flavor**Alhuda Restaurant may be small, but it packs a mighty punch when it comes to delicious Somali cuisine. Don't let the "mom and pop shop" vibe fool you – the quality of the food here is truly phenomenal.Their sambusas are a must-try. The crispy shell gives way to a flavorful, slightly spicy filling – a perfect balance for those who enjoy a little heat. The generous portions are also a major plus. We ordered the chicken and lamb rice dishes and both were incredibly satisfying, with easily enough food for two in a single serving.The friendly staff at Alhuda complete the experience, making you feel right at home. If you're looking for authentic Somali food with warmth and flavor, this place is a true hidden gem.“
“This place is marvelous honestly. I've had the puff puff, maetpie, shawarma, fish roll and sausage roll, and the peppered fish. They were even kind enough to throw in some free drinks. The only problem I had was the meat pie, it's so thick with little meat and other inards present. This set me off bcos the meat pie and even the rolls are big and look full, but have little fillings which shouldn't be.“
“What a change in food and service quality. I came first came to this restaurant a year and a half ago and I didn’t like much about the restaurant. I decided to give it another try after I heard that the owners changed. The half chicken and rice was splendid.“
“Flavourful and delicious food, just a bit too oily for my liking. Jollof rice had a good fiery kick. Beef was lean and tender. Chicken was tasty. Plantains were soft and sweet. Coleslaw was nice and tangy. Restaurant looks new. It's brightly lit and clean. Service was pleasant. I got the Ajebutter Chicken and Beef Combos. Looking forward to trying other items, like the Moi Moi.“
“The best Resto-Bar in Ottawa, very good atmosphere, very friendly employees, well decorated and very clean, most importantly the food is very good, an African flavor mixed with Canadian. If I could give 10 stars I would have, I recommend everyone to go to Double 7.“
“I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere was charming and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy dinner. The menu featured an impressive selection of dishes, each one more delicious than the last. The attentive service made our dining experience truly exceptional.“
“OMG ! You absolutely have to try this hidden gem. I randomly ordered offer of uber eats cause I wanted to try something different and unique to me. I am from Trinidad and love extra extra spicy food and this restaurant caught my attention cause you can choose your spice level. Well they delivered 1000% !! I have had the beef bowl, chicken bowl and chicken wrap. All were delicious and tasty and the portions are above and beyond for the two for one price! Today they sent me extra food just to try and I felt badly cause I don’t want them to lose money. So if you read this review just trust me and try it out. Choose your spice level it can be mild or it can be deadly the choice is yours. I have to say the beef bowl has been my favourite so far. It tastes like Caribbean Stew Beef which makes me miss home:!Thanks Betsi !Your new loyal client“
“Saw the restaurant during the week and could smell delicious BBQ in the air. Told my family what we were going to have on Friday for dinner. Well Friday arrived and I ordered 3 BBQ chicken combos. It did not disappoint! True freshly home cooked meals. Spice was just right! Will definitely be back. Thank you for the great meal. Polite and friendly service!“
“The food is incredible and the service and atmosphere are exactly what you should expect from a place of this style. Quick and home style deliciousness without the bells and whistles that would be considered "trying to hard" in this instance. Great value for the portion size. I will have at least another meal leftover and I'm not upset about it. I could eat this every day. KEEP IT UP!“

“Had a wonderful meal before a show at TD place. Free parking on local streets, nice dinner and walk to and from TD place.I also frequent the Aylmer location.Had 1/4 chicken, rice jollof, and salad. The salad is substantial, and the grilled chicken was as delicious as ever. Had a nice bissap juice as well.It was so nice to go out for a really filling, really delicious meal, instead of a big chain.My only issue is that it would have been nice to have a plate and real cutlery instead of plastic. That being said, I'll definitely head back again!Dietary restrictions: As it is grilled cooked meat and vegetables, it meets different dietary constraints.“

“Flavours were fantastic and the service was warm and inviting (contrary to some reviews we read prior to going)and the only draw back was the place looks like it could use a little tlc. My family took me there for my birthday dinner (2A 2C under 6) and we walked in to a bouquet of mouthwatering smells and the courteous and friendly staff directed us to choose what ever table we wanted. The restaurant to be honest, looked like it needed a polish and the floor could use a good mopping. That was the ONLY negative to our experience there. After talking to the mgr who walked me through the menu and gave lots of great information and suggestions we placed our order. He was even kind enought to wish me a happy birthday and brought me a juice as a little something! Please understand that time relaxing and talking while waiting for the food is part of the African restaurant experience so don't be expecting toget it on your table in 5 min. If you want that go to McD's! When the food came (2 combo platters) it was beautifully plated (I wish I thought to take pics!) and with a bowl of delicious jolof rice. FYI Ghanian jolof is different in the flavour and "sauciness" and this Nigerian jolof was fantastic of its own right being light, fluffy, and with a beautiful smoky note. The chicken and goat were amazing! Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour I only wish we had ordered more! The beef was a little overcooked comparitively. I will say that there is a bit of heat to the dish (a tiny little bit too much for the kids even though they didn't stop eating! hahaha) The take out and delivery that was coming and going throughout our meal was nonstop which just goes to tell you how good the food is. Overall if you decide to check this place out you won't be dissapointed. The food, service, and friendliness of staff are amazing! We'll be back!“
“I have been to the African BBQ House for the last 4 days straight. The food was just woo hoo, so good. The spice, the salad dressing, the rice; I have been to many BBQ restaurant in my time, but the African BBQ House on Dalhousie St. has the best tasting skews and the best customer service. Love the food and love the team working there. Honestly, give it a chance, and it will grow on you. XD“
