I went to this shop for the first time and was so happy with their customer service; they even gave me free stuff :). For sure, I will be using your store anytime I want to buy Nigerian foodstuff in Ottawa! Thanks again.

I was at the Food Africana earlier this morning on errands for wifey. Quite impressed with the neatness of the environment. I got a box of yam and small bag of beans. The owners (husband and wife I guess) were very polite and conversational. The yam I got is very good as I’m eating it as I type this review. I hope you keep up with the standard. Will see you again, but this time, with my oga at the top (wife)
