First time eating here and it'll definitely become a regular spot. We got the whole chicken, salad, plantain, and jollof rice. Everything was so flavourful and fresh. The salad had different vegetables, seeds, and dried cranberries which was a nice touch. 10000% recommend eating here!
We got takeout Friday night and tried the half chicken with jollof rice and plantains and the goat suya. The food was prepared fresh and quickly.Really loved the flavours and cooking of the meats. Excellent charcoal aroma, great seasoning and a skilled cooking of the chicken which had juicy chicken breast and tender dark meat. The goat wasn't too gamey or tough. I was expecting it to come super spicy but it was fine and came with a spicy sauce on the side that's addictive! It was my first time having jollof rice so I don't have a frame of reference but I found it to be tasty. The food was just a bit greasy but the flavours were worth it. We'll definitely be back!
Amazing food and amazing family! Food is so delicious and Cynthia and her family are so friendly and generous. Great serving sizes. Definitely 5 star!!! It's a delight! Definitely made my week
Best goat meat in town!
I can't believe I like goat now!!! I'm half Jamaican and have never enjoyed goat. I've tried it so many times throughout life but finally, when I tried the suya goat from this restaurant I was blown away! Much tastier than beef, very flavorful and it has a really nice crispy texture on outside, yet still tender inside! How'd they do that?! I love it! Also the half chicken with jollof rice is amazingly tasty! The red sauce which comes with the chicken is so delicious and even though it's extremely spicy for me,I can't stop eating it! The rice is very spicey but also can't stop. The plantain is cooked perfectly, not oily like how I've had it at other places. It also helps take away some of the hot spice. The staff is very friendly and we met the cook who was also very friendly. I believe we have a new favorite place for take out and am super excited that we have this little gem in our neighborhood!
Hidden gem in Ottawa great food at a great price. If you live nearby definitely recommend trying it out. I recommend the ginger juice and goat meat suya(bbq).Lovely customer service. 10/10
Tried Moyo for the first time tonight.First off, the man who greeted me (also turned out to be the chef) was super friendly and a treat to deal with. He was more comfortable in French for those who parler! :)Now the food. Abundant quantity and amazing flavours on everything. The chicken was more moist than it looked and there’s a nice little red sauce that turns it up a notch or two. The rice was bursting with flavours. The plantain was tasty.The one issue was with the goat. While very flavourful and the spiciest item we had, unfortunately it was mostly overcooked making it a little tough. The odd piece was perfect and showed how good this dish could be.Given that they are new and everything else was good or better, I’ll cut them some slack and definitely give them another shot.
My husband and I ate here for the first time last night, we had the chef salad, half chicken combo with plantains, and cassava. The food is very good, and the owner is really nice. Portions are huge, so we have leftovers for lunch! They just started offering dessert, and gave us two free muffins to take home. They offer three flavors; banana, pineapple, and ginger. Tried 1 banana & pineapple, both were good.
Not worth the money!! Chicken was raw and was definitely not cooked on charcoal. Customer service was amazing!!! Guys not dissing you, you’ve got to do much better if you want to stay open for business.
Had to try this new spot here in Barrhaven and am I ever happy we did! Haven't had fried plantain like that since my Granny used to make it when I was a kid! Super tasty and brought back great memories. Also highly recommend the chicken. Often find grilled chicken can be somewhat dry but this was grilled perfectly... juicy and SO delicious! Will be back soon!!
