The Benue

Best Nigerian food in town!! Very friendly atmosphere!! excited for the dine in..

We ordered the bbq jerk chicken, Jollof rice, poundo, plantain, turkey leg and soup and it was more than enough for two meals for two people. Poundo was not to be missed- it was new to both of us and a great, bready delight. The jollof rice and chicken was so flavourful and complex and really tasty. The rice was cooked perfectly- everything was, really, and a good level of spice. Will definitely have again.

Ordered a meal for an entire family today, great portions and absolutely delicious food!! Jollof Rice so flavourful my favourite rice dish and paired with the BBQ Chicken which was so tender and cooked to perfection! The Poundo lived up to reputation, a great pairing with the Efo! The daily special, whole tilapia, the best I’ve ever had, buttery and not over cooked. Not the first time I’ve had the food here and it has always been consistent. Had the pleasure of meeting the creator of these exquisite dishes when I picked up my order, just lovey and very helpful great aura! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Really delicious food and great portions! I love the jollof rice and asun - amazing flavours! Their pastries are also really good. If you haven't tried Nigerian food before, I recommend this restaurant. And if you love Nigerian food, this is a great option, especially since it's right downtown Toronto!
