African Chop Bar — Restaurant in Toronto

Listen yal, I'm so eager to try this spot...and even came to check the reviews for ideas, was so happy to see the engagement from the restaurant to its patrons, saying they are welcome to calls and questions...BUT ARE THEY? I just called and the reception I received...hella lacking! She wasn't really open to helping me out, atall! It was almost comical. I ended the call w no worries, i will sort it out myself. I literally only called based on the feedback listed in the reviews.🙄 Now I'm jus trying to save others from the embarassment. Let me throw caution to the wind and just have at it, as planned, prior to being fooled by comments in reviews🤣

Update!** Had to pass back through and provide a better rating after Mercy (store owner or manager) came through w the check-in. Amazing customer service will always smooth over hiccups! True to my word tho, I still placed an order several hours later. Mercy's call came after I had already placed my order (in hindsight, I think I needed the assistance and really should've added a rice or fish dish. next time). I went w Banku w okro & goat soup/stew, Fufu in light soup w beef, and fried yam & pepper sauce... The item I thought I'd really dig wasnt the one for me, lol...I REALLY enjoyed the Fufu & light soup and the fried yam w pepper sauce.🤌🏾The Banku w okro soup, wasn't as rich in flavor as I expected but the textures were fun, especially for eating w your hands. I think my other qualm is more of a preference, I prefer meat more seasoned, flavorable and a lil more fall of the bone (esp if in a soup or stew, unlike what i experienced in these dishes). Overall a great experience and entry into Ghanian food. I will definitely have to try the Jollof rice, Wakye, and or fried fish another time🍽️ Thank you @Blackfoodie.co for showcasing this restaurant on...

The food is very good, I bought from there a few times. The first time I got the bottom part of the pan rice but the food was good so it was okay, other times the food was good too. I made a recommendation to my friend and she purchased there as well. For 19 dollars the food was so small I was surprised. We understand that the economy is hard right now so you have to raise your prices. What I do not understand is giving less and still increasing the price. At this point some of these businesses are making it harder to fully support them and it is really sad. This is the 2nd Ghanian restaurant I can no longer support and it's not because the food is bad but because of the cut backs and price gouging. O well 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Edit; to the owners the price increase nor the tax is the issue, it is the fact that with the price increase the quantity has been decreased. I don't mind paying the price increase or the taxes if the quantity wasn't such a small portion. No one wants to pay more in return to pay less. Pls address that portion properly as I paid the price and it wasn't a problem. The Quantity however...

I love cooking Ghanaian dishes and aside specialty ones like "diehuo" people have enjoyed my cooking. So today wishing I could get some tasty Ghanaian food but not in the cooking mode I stared disappointingly at the restaurants under African in skip the dishes (note this has to do with the postal code) till I came across African Chop Bar; I got happier as I saw the selection available. Living far I decided to go all out and sample a wide range. Calling them directly (to inquire further), I was pleased with the voice on the other end of the phone-energetic and welcoming. Being very particular I thought I will probably have to tweak the cooked food to suit my taste. I WILL BUY AGAIN!!! When I went to pick up my food the reception was just like the voice-positive energy and welcoming, the presentation was excellent the food tasted real good (no tweaking AT ALL required) - goat soup may be spicy for some but I am sure you can request milder. The most important to me was how everything tasted fresh. Even the drinks are made on site. I particularly love the pineapple -ginger drink. Great job!...
