I tried this place during our family trip to Canada. The best african food in Ottawa. Probably, in the whole Ontario. I highly recommend it to every one. I will definitely come back.

What a change in food and service quality. I came first came to this restaurant a year and a half ago and I didn’t like much about the restaurant. I decided to give it another try after I heard that the owners changed. The half chicken and rice was splendid.

Dinned in here with my colleagues, and decided to not visit this restaurant ever again! We preordered the food (30 minutes in advance) but still it took them 40 minutes to prepare our orders (not even all of them). The price they had on their website and menue wasn’t updated. The portion wasn’t convenient for the prices that they’ve asked for. Restaurant wasn’t very clean and tbh, the food wasn’t authentic at all. The staff was offended after hearing our comments about price and quality of food.

This place is receiving unfair reviews. Took the chance on it last night and boy oh boy were we glad. The food was INCREDIBLEY flavourful. Like wow every bite lit up our taste buds and left us hankering for more. The fried plantains were top notch. The djollof rice was quite nice. The half chicken was unbelievable. The veggie samosas, they tasted different but the spices and flavours were out of this world delicious. The dough was a tad chewy but didn’t ruin the experience by any means. Flavour is king. I chop the texture up to being delivered and not fresh in restaurant. The Jamaican patties were a nice cheap add on. Let me tell you the value for your money is fantastic. Incredibly delicious food. Super flavourful and very well priced. Highly recommend. This has just become our go to takeout place for sure! Can’t wait to try more food!

BBQ Golden Grill is one of the best African restaurants in Ottawa. Their charcoal BBQ chicken is amazing and their goat is really good too. Very flavourful and tasty in generous portions while reasonably priced. Martha the owner of the restaurant was so accommodating and nice. I recommend it without hesitation.
