The Benue (Christie St.) - African

The Benue is the premium spot for authentic Nigerian cuisine in the heart of downtown Toronto. We are a contemporary casual restaurant that delivers upscale food at affordable prices, with a strong focus on great service to all of our customers. Our talented team prepares each meal with the freshest ingredients in order to provide only the best traditional recipes. Whether you are joining us for lunch with friends or a family dinner, we are certain our menu will have something for you to love. Ever wondered what Nigerian soups are like? Try our take on the Efo Riro -- stewed greens cooked with dawadawa beans. Have it with a side of Poundo, pounded yam flour, and that’s as authentic as it gets! If you have not tried Nigerian-style Fried Rice, we have got you covered. Generously flavoured with a blend of spices and stir-fried with mixed vegetables, it is a great partner to The Benue’s Signature Barbeque Chicken. We also have a wide selection of combos for a complete meal experience. Try out our Party Jollof Rice cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce, paired with tender Nigerian-spiced Goat, and accompanied by Fried Plantain. Swing by today here at 440 Christie Street, and enjoy a night of great food, good company, and amazing service. We also offer online delivery and pick-up so that you can enjoy your favourite meal in the comfort of your home.
