Pricey ($15 per take-out for most meats), but good authentic flavours and genuine portion…read more I don't usually get takeout next to home, but after countless times seeing African-Canadian people walk out of Hot Africa with takeouts, I decided to give it a try with the roasted lamb with fried plantain for $15. The lamb was flavourful (not salty) and fall-off-the-bone tender. I liked the fried plantains, they're a little sweeter than sweet potatoes, but a full portion was a little more than enough - I now take take half rice. On a second visit, I had the chance to try the "bar braisé" which I understand to be braised seabass. It's a whole fish, fried and grilled as pictured on the menu. It had the same green sauce seasoning as the grilled chicken. Neither of them were as flavourful as the lamb but decent. Do call a half-hour in advance so you can pick up and go. And oh, do ask for the "piment". It goes well with fried plantain. Cash only.

I got L'Abidjanaise with a side of Jolof, and I have to say that their sauces are superb. The Mayo in particular was perfectly spiced, and although the fish was bony, the seasoning was just that good. I also got the mikate (beignets). These should definitely be shared. A fantastic restaurant if you want some West African flavor.

We ordered the following: fried bread with fish as appetizer (so fun and delicious), moussaka with fufu, pork jerk with plantains, and beignets (small round dense donuts).

The month i went, December, gave me a choice of a soup, an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The soup was delicious: Lightly spiced and warming for the weather outside. Same with the fish. I wish I got more of these. For my meat entree, I chose the guinea fowl as my entree. I was disappointed in this one because it was dry. Sorta like chicken, but all the way from New Zealand. Service was exceptional. The restaurant was dark, and the couches looked comfortable. I just wish I got a seat on one of the couches.

But a place like this cannot duplicate the charm from a place like a family-run Ethiopian restaurant. For example, on arriving: Other Ethiopian restaurants I've visited: "Welcome!" Nil Bleu: "You don't have a reservation, but we can seat you if you are done by 8pm." Great care was put into quality food, and the tej was quite good and perfectly chilled. This could certainly be a place to sample Ethiopian cuisine for the first time if you were uncomfortable going elsewhere. I'm glad I visited here, but I'll continue to check out as many other Ethiopian restaurants as I can as well.

We wanted Senegalese food. While the owner, Abdul, is not Senegalese, he had entrees from a few west African countries such as Cameroon, Senegal, and Cote d'ivoire and also his home country Guinea. My friend and I got the same dish, thiep poisson (Thieboudienne) alongside plantain. It was sooo delicious. We also sampled the baobab and bissap. The bissap was slightly different than the sorrel were used to but wonderful all the same. The baobab juice was a nice treat that I saved for the end as more as a "dessert ." Abdul and his family were very welcoming. The place will prosper MashAllah
