“Absolutely blown away by the incredible flavors and warm hospitality at the African restaurant! Each dish was a delightful journey of spices and textures that truly showcased the rich culinary heritage of the continent. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to experience authentic African cuisine.“

“Just ordered braised greens and Mafi stew with chicken!y mouth is LOVING the flavours. Absolutely delicious! The portions come with rice and I have enough leftover for lunch tomorrow. I got some absolutely delicious plantains complimentary as well! I'll definitely order again over and over - it's that good!“

“Now, I’m a newbie to African cuisine. I’ve tried a number of restaurants within greater Toronto and I must say Benin Restaurant is in a class of its own.The red stew….. Is mouthwatering!!!The meat or protein is made to your desired tenderness.Thank you for sharing a taste of Nigeria here in Canada with us!!!!“

“Food was really good. I've never had egusi or pounded yam but it was great first experience and the spice level was perfect. I added the peppered beef to my egusi for an additional $19 which had good flavour but maybe wasn't as tender as I thought it would be. Slightly pricy but is super filling and tasty. The service was good as well, I believe she said her name is Sandy (server name on the ticket says Sasilka) who was very friendly.“

“'Bringing back the local taste of Ghana...' Despite the distance of home (Ghana) and its inflation... African Chop Bar prepares a palatable essence of home... Food is thoroughly chefed up by talented cooks...Traditional food with vegetarian options (pesca-tarian and ovo-tarians)...While you wait for food to COOK FRESH... (be releived it will not take hours as typically misled by the ways our delicate foods are prepared)...Fulljoy on traditional street snacks and beverages (bowfrut, chinchin, plantain chips, alvaro, Palmwine, Club lager...) and take home options to prepare and eat your local favourites!!!The ambiance makes you feel like you walking the lively moderns streets of Accra, with a traditional fusion. The seating to music and furnishing...Let the menu and service take you home... Akwabaa and Medaase“

“I have been coming to this establishment for over 7 years and one thing I have to say the service has to be the worst I have ever seen. The customer service especially the boy at the front very rude and careless. He said he will call the police if I eat inside cause I was extremely hungry and the manager felt to big to come out and have a discussion with me very rude set of people“

“This is the place to go if you want authentic Ghanaian dishes. Their waakye is one of the best I’ve had in the city and also their banku. Sometimes the owner gives me a free sobolo or ginger drink with my order because I am a consistent customer.“
