Detola's Kitchen - Nigerian/African Cuisine — Restaurant in Ottawa

We recently dined at Detola's Kitchen and we cant stop raving about our experience! The place is simply stunning - from the elegantly decorated interior (Lagos vibes) to the nice music playing in the background invoked a feeling of calmness and relaxation.

The service provided by the staff was impeccable. From the warm greeting upon arrival to constant check-ins during our meals to ensure we had everything we needed, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing but the best.

Now let's talk about the food - it was absolutely amazing! The warm puff puff was a delicious appetizer that melted in our mouths. I highly recommend trying the Abula and beef stew, which was bursting with flavor and had just the right amount of spice to leave a satisfying, yet subtle heat.

Before buying anything from a place I am unfamiliar with, I always go through reviews to help guide my decision. Ordered a few light items as I always do with new places, loved the scotch eggs, disappointed with the other two items.

The gizdodo was more like yam porridge and was actually confused initially, thinking I had been given wrong order. Loved that you could order up to 3pm deadline and get your order delivered...

Food is ok. But if you are not Nigerian they treat you like garbage my food was ready for 10 min and I am looking at it, I tell her can I get my food she brushes me off because she’s having a convo and laughing with fellow Nigerian customers. Buisness wise is so bad one time she’s in working and 4 other times she’s not available and can’t make the food they are very unorganized. I don’t recommend I feel like I am not welcomed same thing with my freinds they always tell me they feel “unwelcomed and it’s like we’re bothering the workers “ Check else where this is not the spot you’d enjoy.

FOOD IS OK. BUT THE SERVICE...
