Reviews for The Benue in Toronto, ON
Never ever Again!! The Portion is an absolute rip off! They press the plates upwards to make the food look more than it actually... is. That Moi moi for $5 each and ewa agoyin portion for 19.99?.is an absolute disgrace. You guys should do better. It?s daylightrobbery Read more
I phoned to make an order for a big tray of jollof rice, I am glad I did because the service was wonderful and the food was... amazing. Everything is cooked fresh and you can taste the difference in comparison to some other restaurants. it was deliciousand fresh. The sauces were just right. Thanks for a lovely evening. I think I have found my new favorite Nigerian restaurant. Read more
Never again! I ordered Jollof rice, turkey and fried plantains. The turkey was very dry and tough - seemed like it had been... prepared days before. The fried plantain was very soggy because it was overripe (bordering on spoilt) - it felt as though it wasfried mashed plantain. The rice was barely tasty and the portion was a ripoff. Read more
The portion was generous and the Jollof rice was ok. However, the plantain was very soggy as if it was fried in a hurry under... just 1 minute. Read more
Very small, underwhelming portions. For $50, I got a tiny portion of rice and small serving of pepper soup. First time ordering... here, and definitely will not be ordering again. Nigerian food is known for its abundance and leaving you more than satisfied;my husband and I had to go and get a burger to eat after this. Very disappointing. Read more
I ordered food from this restaurant worth 64 dollars plus tax through uber eats only to find labels of price tag inside the food... and I almost swallowed it. I have asked for help on uber eats up till now they have not giving me a response. This is just myfirst time ordering from this restaurant Read more
I rarely give negative reviews but if I could give this restaurant a -5 I would. Three words: "expensive", "rude" and... "poorly-cooked" Continually perpetuating the stereotypical rude Buka style from Nigeria isn't going to help this business andit hurts me to say this. It is a stressful business, yes we know. But it will not take anything away from you to smile andcommunicate delays. Start from there. Remember you are not just cooking for those who might be forgiving of your mistakes hereand there. Each new day should be a commitment to fairness and quality. Happy to patronize again when things improve. Read more
The worst food I?ve had in a long time. I don?t normally leave reviews, good or bad. But I spent $70 on 2 meals. Stew chicken... w/ jolof & goat w/ jolof. It tasted like we were eating chicken jerky and week old rice. It?s gone straight into the bin. Iwas SO excited for this meal and we couldn?t even eat it. It?s as if they just added sauce to week old food. Oh it was alsomostly bone, for $27 a dish!!!!!!! Read more
