When you walk into the place, though, it's almost like you're walking into somebody's house. Our server was clearly the owner's kid and his work wasn't exactly polished, but that only added to the charm. Anyway, after perusing the menu for a few minutes, I decided to go with the Jollof Rice ("Tomato sauce & rice mixed with ancient spices. Served with egg, Shito pepper and your choice of meat or fish.") I actually wasn't asked if I wanted meat or fish, and I wound up getting both. This would've been awesome if the meat had been edible, but unfortunately it was so tough even my fork couldn't penetrate it. On the plus side, the rice and accompanying sauce was delicious. The sauce was especially enjoyable and flavorful, and it contained a decent amount of spice, too. The friendly owner talked to us after the meal, which only cemented the place's homespun vibe. I'd definitely return if it wasn't quite so out of the way.

Auntie Lizzy's Kitchen is tucked at the back of a small plaza in Etobicoke, serving traditional…read moreGhanaian and Nigerian food. This place is somewhat 'hidden' as it's not readily apparent from the street. When you enter the plaza, turn right and go straight until the end, then turn left. It's located at the back, beside G Central Market (a small grocery store serving staples and ingredients to make Western African dishes). It's mostly a take-out place, with only 2 small tables (4 chairs each) in the restaurant. There is a TV screen but not much else. Note that there is no washroom for customers inside, and no washroom in any of the other neighbouring businesses in the plaza either (so plan accordingly). Most people come here for take-out / food pick-up. The menu on the website and UberEats (for delivery / take-out) is bigger and has more items, compared to the menu that's displayed inside the restaurant. According to the website and UberEats menus, they serve both Ghanaian and Nigerian dishes. But the menu on display when we got there only had Ghanaian dishes (which was ok, because we came for the Ghanaian food anyway). Service-wise, it was excellent. The person who took our order and served us was nice and friendly. The food was great! I love Western African food in general. The Waakye came as a large plate of rice and beans (my favourite!), spaghetti, plantain, boiled egg, small salad, and choice of protein (we chose fried fish). The sauce on the fish was a bit spicy but it was delicious. The Plantain with Beans dish came with a LOT of plantain slices that were slightly crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the inside. They weren't too sweet and more on the savoury side, so they paired perfectly with the beans stew that was packed full of flavour. This dish also came with fried fish. We ordered 2 extra side salad for extra veggies. They were just shredded lettuce, carrot, and a few small pieces of cucumber. The down side is that because this is mainly a take-out place, they served us using plastic forks and knives (instead of reusable utensils). The side salads also came in plastic containers to be thrown away right after eating, despite us eating in (instead of getting take-aways). No biggie, as we still enjoyed the food immensely, but it could've been more sustainable and environmentally friendly with reusable utensils and plates / bowls.
