Benue bistro — Restaurant in Toronto

This one star needs to be a -5. when I walked in, the restaurant was so disorganized from sticky floors to uncovered food. The menu was badly written on paper with a marker and taped to a wall. Even after going over my order with her 3 times there was still a whole meal missing and the others was salty, lacking rice and stale. It took over an hour to get my food and/much less an update on how much longer it was going to take even though she was scooping up rice and taking days old meet out the fridge to microwave. And when it came to checking out the machine was out of paper and she did not bother to put in the paper sitting on top of the machine and instead insisted that I e-transfer using my personal info. She had asked me if I was done e-transfering and I had told her to give me a minute and she rolled her eyes at me. Worst place to eat I advise you save your money and go to a proper restaurant. And the worst part of this experience is that, even though she kept apologizing to everyone in the restaurant she was moving so slow as if she didn’t have nine people waiting for the food or missing item...

I absolutely do not give reviews—but damn! I needed to leave one for this. I am not only shocked, I am dumbfounded and flabbergasted. I cannot even say I was offended… I WAS INSULTED by this.

This restaurant cannot be owned by a Nigerian—never! And if a Nigerian does own this, please fix it. I was shocked at the size of the meal. I ordered a large plantain—LOL. This is far from large; this is tiny.

I spent $140 for this meal. LOL. I am begging to eat food I bought for $140. LOL.

How do you leave a ONE new hire to handle walk-ins, phone orders, and Uber Eats at the same time on a Saturday night ? That’s an absolute nightmare for him. The worker really tried to cook this, but wow!

Anyway, I pray y’all resolve this fast so I can get back to...

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone; even a raccoon deserves better. Their menu descriptions are misleading, making you expect more than what is actually served. The prices are exorbitantly high for the small portions of poor, stale food, especially with takeout orders, which are intentionally smaller than dine-in portions to discourage returns. My recent order of ayamase and turkey from UberEats, which cost over $30, did not include rice, despite their claims to the contrary. Ayamase traditionally comes with rice, and I find this omission a clear case of false advertising. I won't be ordering from here again and look forward to the day they shut...
