“I am new in Montreal, with my mother who is a very picky eater. But, after eating the fish, she called and say: ”there is nothing to say, it just hit the spot ?.And, I also like my fish done a certain way, nicely seasoned, tasty, and specially not dry. I could not agree more with my mother on this one. It is African style cuisine but nicely adapted for all to enjoy.The staff is really very nice and friendly. I spoke with the manager/ gérante Sydell Yetna, she is really customer service oriented and likes to see patrons satisfied.We have been ordering more foods from Pili-pili and we highly recommend ??!“

“I came to buy donuts, a batch of 8 donuts to accompany some porridge and bring it to a friend who had just given birth…woe is me, because she asks for them again and again every time I go to see her? Thanks Geo Delights!! Super good service too, fast + super welcoming boss. It was too good!!“
“Delicious food, service and presentation! We tried multiple dishes as well as both desserts, and everything tasted extremely comforting and delicious! The service is really good too, the server took her time to explain everything to us about the dishes and we also had some help pairing a perfect wine with the dishes! Highly recommended!!“
“My God it was my first time and I really wanted to eat the Foutou grain sauce, my God the lamb and chicken are very good! Wooow a heavenly taste the gentleman has a very kind welcome so go there magnificent. My children ate very well.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“Simply wow ✨ I am so happy I tried this place. Ordered on door dash, came super quick, food was still hot and smelled delicious. The fish and the lamb was #1 and we still have leftovers for at least 2 people! Absolutely loved everything! Thank you“

“Very warm homey place and the food was very good! My mother who lived in Algeria for 10 years says it tasted like her childhood. I highly recommend, especially for those who have never tried North African cuisine before. Service was great too!“
“Venez le soir pour vivre une expérience incroyable et dynamique. Entre musique, jeu d’instruments, danse, maquillage, et autres activités, sans oublier la nourriture qui est de qualité et grosse quantité. J’ai eu une super soirée avec ma famille, mention spéciale au chikwangue fait maison qui est vraiment bon (parole de congolaise)!“
“I recently had the opportunity to go to this restaurant, and I must say that the experience was positive. Very good service with smiling, attentive and courteous staff throughout the evening. Regarding the cuisine, each dish was very well prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The ambience was also very pleasant, with an elegant and welcoming atmosphere which added to the whole experience. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.“
“I confirm it’s very good! I really liked. Well seasonedI've never eaten there so I can't rate the atmosphereOn the other hand, in fact I add to other comments, the portions for take-out orders need to be reviewed. Thank you!☺️“
“Fish Well seasoned but burnt, too bad we didn't take the trouble to scrape at least the burnt areas.For plantain, I think it would be preferable to ask the customer's opinion before adding salt. Not everyone likes the salty sugar taste.Bissap juice is delicious but with too many flavors, we no longer find the taste of bissap itself.“
“Right in front of Espace 215 for Montreal dancers. Super nice owner. Still open at 12:00-1:00 am. Senegalese Poutine Yassa. Amazing! Plantains, cheese and caramelized onions. ? Perfect Quebec-Senegal fusion!! Come on dancers, after your evening, check if it’s still open. Do not miss. Great quality of food. Yum! #studio88swing #JazzHotMontreal #danseImprov“
“Market which has just opened and rather clean. The lady who owns this shop is very kind and polite (her daughter too). I found products from home (ndolè, miondo, cassava leaves and WHITE PEPPER POWDER (which I often have difficulty finding elsewhere)).Her braised chicken is really good (she offered it to me when I had finished my shopping and I don't regret having taken it).I really recommend it. Always happy to see enterprising people like you!P.S: small suggestion, remember to label (the names + prices) ALL the products on the shelves (I saw products that I didn't know and which were not identified).“
“Very good restaurant, especially to discover Ivorian dishes ??! The dishes are very tasty and generous in portion, we are always well served on each visit.There is a nice variety for all tastes, fish, vegetarian dishes and especially grilled meats! Other than the dishes, what we appreciate most is the welcome and the vitality of the team !“

“Good evening, today I ordered fufu, beef gumbo soup, and red sauce with beef. Very very delicious. A very welcoming place. Me and my mother loved the fufu and the soups from Akwaba. The lady and the very kind chef the best African restaurant in Montreal. Very reasonable price. The dishes are cooked fresh and with lots of love. The Akwaba restaurant is my family.“

“This is a must try when in Montreal. Never have I given 5 stars to any place with wait times as horrible as here but when you finally get the food, you’ll understand why a perfect score is the only appropriate rating for this place. Whole spicy BBQ chicken is even better here than in authentic Jamaica!This is Best Of Montreal Top 5!!“
“Loved the meat tajines (chicken and veal). Perfectly cooked, well balanced flavors... brought me back to morocco and my moroccan grandmother's cooking. The food is well presented, the atmosphere is nice (just needs a moodier lighting) and how is this place not buzzing!!! The only one that made me taste morocco in my plate.“
“(Translated by Google) Fresh, tasty and gigantic portions!Small restaurant in front of which you might not think of stopping, but it really is an unmissable stop in the neighborhood!Tried several things on the menu! Everything is delicious but the pupusa are really tasty! The small cabbage salad offered as an accompaniment perfectly complements all dishes...If you feel the winter blues enveloping you, go for it.... If a beautiful sunny summer day puts you in a good mood, go for it too hihi... You won't regret....(Original)Frais, goûteux et, portions gigantesques!Petit resto devant lequel on ne penserait peut-être pas s'arrêter mais, c'est vraiment un arrêt incontournable du quartier!J'ai essayé plusieurs trucs sur le menu! Tout est délicieux mais les pupusa sont vraiiiment savoureux! La petite salade de chou offerte en accompagnement agrémente à merveille tous les plats...Si vous sentez les blues de l'hiver vous envhaïr, allez-y.... Si une belle journée d'été ensoleillée vous met de bonne humeur, allez-y aussi hihi... Vous ne regretterez pas....“
“The food here is SO good. I never went in person, but i ordered many times on uber. The portions are good, they give plenty of meat and the taste is excellent. Plus the lady on the phone is so kind. I recommend 100% i would highly suggest calling before ordering tho because some dishes are very popular and can be sold out“
