The Party Jallof was delicious, with a nice smokiness to the rice and the chicken seasoned spectacularly. I'm typically not the biggest fan of plaintains, but the plaintains that came with the rice were crispy and savoury. It was my first time trying fufu & egusi, and for the most part it was exactly what I expected! The stew was tasty, and the fufu had such a unique and lovely texture. Similar to Ethiopian food where you use the injera to pick up the meat/veggie stews, you use the fufu to scoop up the egusi. However, since fish bones are used in the stock, I found several fish bones in my dish that ruined the experience of it. It is a little on the pricier side with these dishes at $26+. The portion of rice could have been bigger, but tastewise everything was great. I would definitely come back to try other dishes and to have their jallof again!

We ordered the platter for two, it came with samosa, soup, mango juice, salad, choice of pasta or rice & 2 meat options. We opted to try both chicken and beef stew with rice. For starters, The beef samosa was absolutely delicious, it was paired with a green spicy sauce. The soup was light, but flavourful. I have to say the beef stew was my favourite, it was flavourful and the meat was tender. The service was great. It was a chilly in there, the only criticism would be that it could use some personal touches, the restaurant itself seems a little bare. But the food made up for it.

It wasn't open yet but when I came back and visited again, a few weeks ago, I saw that it was open. So of course I had to try it. The new location is spacious, clean and very family-friendly. They've got a robot that brings you the food to your table. Staff is friendly and portions are as always, generous. Even with the platter for 2, we struggled to finish and we were 3 people + 2 kids. Their sambusa is also really good. The only thing I noticed is that the quality of the mango juice went a little down, as it tasted a little watered down (and unlike the thick mango juice I'm used to). Other than that, everything was an 11/10 as always. Hamdi is a place I'll never get tired of and a place I'll always go back to. Amazing value for money. Great quality and tasty food. Their goat + suqqar are my favourite.

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.
