Well, we did have a reservation, but 14 of us descended on this out of the way gem. Our group of…read morework mates wanted a social visit and a great meal. When we arrived the table was set, the filtered water already on the table. We straggled in but the service was there, in spades. Only look up and one of the hosts were at your side to answer a question, provide a drink, or change an order! With 14 different meals to prepare they advised it may not All be ready at the same moment. They came to ask if we preferred to have the meals kept warm for simultaneous service or if we would rather have them served when ready. I don't recall such a courteous question before. The food was amazing, the service exceptional, the space was great for a group visit (sorry to other patrons, we may have been a bit loud?) and the location, off Memorial Drive is on the bus route and Walking distance from the Franklin C Train station in Short Pants Plaza. There are other wonderful shops in the plaza, but I HAVE to commend the food... even better the next day was the small bit of left overs...the portions were perfect!

This is a popular hidden gem of the local Nigerian/African community that I discovered only because…read moremy Nigerian coworker told me about it. Everything tastes like it's made by the Nigerian mom you never knew you had. The parking in this strip mall REALLY SUCKS. You can park along the street but expect to walk. I've had the pleasure of trying various items from here because my coworkers default to this place for potluck dishes. The meat pies are freshly baked every day and the puff puffs (a deep fried sweetened dough) are like giant fresh, round donuts. The chicken in the tomato stews are hit or miss because they can come out fresh, or really dry and old. I dined-in once with coworkers but don't expect excellent service. The owner is almost always the only one running the restaurant and take out is usually the avenue to go. Price wise, the food is exotic so expect to pay $$$ for some items that may seem plain. The food is good overall, but I'm taking off points for service and the fact that not all popular items are available even during peak hours, so you should call ahead of time before making the trek here.

Tucked away in an assuming strip plaza in S.E. Calgary, Ahinke is a Nigerian-Canadian fusion…read morerestaurant that specializes in brunch items. I went in with high expectations, and in some ways they were met, and in others I felt a bit let down. Firstly, the interior is lovely, with lots of warm wood tones albeit a little dim. The server (who was also the cook? Not sure) was attentive and wanted us to have a good experience. She suggested we try the more traditional Nigerian side of the menu, so we did. The jollof rice arancini was quite good, though I wish I could've tasted the jollof flavor more. The Nigerian shawarma wrap was massive and saucy; I liked that the pita wrap was grilled and crunchy. The shrimp fried rice wasn't my favorite however. The total came out to $72 before tips, which I felt was a bit expensive. I would want to come back and try the brunch items to see if I'll have a different experience!

I was in Calgary for just a few hours (stopover for a road trip), but I knew I wanted to try this…read morerestaurant after seeing them online. The menu is a mix of Nigerian and Canadian dishes. I got the suya chicken and waffles. Suya is a type of seasoning (you can purchase the seasoning to take home), which added a nice heat to the dish. It was served with two fluffy buttermilk waffles, peppercorn sauce, a poached, and hollandaise. It felt like getting chicken and waffles (but better and spicier) and an eggs benedict (cause of the poached egg and hollandaise sauce) in one dish. It also came with this tropical bliss salad, which had a nice combo of veggies and fruit and was really good. My original plan was to also get some puff puff to go, but I was way too full after my dinner. I was here on my own, so I got seated right away, but the space is smaller and I imagine it fills up quickly. If you're coming here with a group I'd make a reservation. Staff was nice, the restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious and a good deal for the price point. The only downside for me is I don't live in Calgary, but if I did I'd be visiting Ahinke's on the regular. It will definitely be a go to restaurant on my next visit.
