Blessinglicious (Nigerian Street Food) in Scarborough

Everything on the menu simply exquisite. Parking: Canadian Tire or street parking Food : 5/5 |

Food tastes great and its unique Its cold and drizzling outside So that added to my experience Food : 5/5

I ordered their pepper soup on uber eats due to me being a little under the weather and it was very salty and inedible. After seeing my review, they blamed it on my taste buds and let a very passive aggressive message. So not so great food and service. I definitely don t recommend.

The jollof rice is not overly cooked and doesnt stick together, thats the way I love my jollof. The spices in the suya chicken intergate together to give it a unique flavor the fried Yam is very crisp the puff puff is not overly soaked in oil which makes it healthy for a fit fam like me.

I was extremely upset with the lack of customer service from this restaurant. I ordered cat fish pepper soup on DoorDash for $30.99 + tip and taxes. Then the restaurant called me to let me know that they don t actually have the Cat Fish Pepper soup which I was looking forward to having. So then I asked well can you just replace it with whatever soup is there this one time as this mistake is from the restaurant and not the customer as you are the ones who made the dish available on door dash. She said no we can t do that and they wanted me to go back and reorder the other soup to pay more money. The other soup was a Goat meat pepper soup for about $35-36 dollars. I don t understand why they couldn t just give me the other soup this one time and I ve ordered from them a few times before but now I won t order again.

Portion is outrageously small, atleast food tastes good

We have been to several nigerian resturants in the city, and the egusi here is the most authentic the most delicious in toronto.congrats

The fried rice was too salty

Best Nigerian food in Toronto.

Had Nigerian food for the first time and loved it. Will comeback for sure

Tasty and community orientated takeout spot. Spicy chicken, spicy joloff rice for the win. Not too sweet puff puff pastry. If youre thinking of this place, run dont walk!

Owner very friendly and the food was plentiful. Fried plantain was great!

You gotta try their food. It delivers wonders to your taste buds. On top of that, David is just an amazing guy, welcoming and kind hearted. Come and check em out, you will not regret it

I love their food poundo yam and Efo riro and jollof rice , they are the best in preparing Nigeria street foods

The best place to order Naija foods. Taste exactly like home

The food was really good. Would come here again. Yes its halal

TL;DR: Owner regrets giving out food that isnt hot and fresh and blames the experience on the first-time customers taste buds. Ok this review was difficult because I have a dilemma posting negative reviews about small businesses. In the end, here I am because its my hard earned money after all that was exchanged for their product and theres too many red flags for this experience that I couldnt ignore. I really tried to let this one go but after the entire day I still felt liked I was duped out of $25. The actual review : First time trying Nigerian food, not sure how authentic this place is but flavour-wise it was alright. I ordered the Foodgasm plate for take out and was very, very disappointed by the container when I opened it up. Moderate serving of Jollof rice, a few pieces of plantain (they didnt have Gizdodo apparently, they had just opened), and two of the smallest pieces of chicken I have ever seen. A drumstick very clearly on the small side and one of the smallest thighs I have ever seen. Im talkin about a thigh that would be the size of a large drumstick - and thats being generous because Ive seen some large drumsticks. To top it off, the food wasnt hot by the time I got home in my 7 to 8 minute ride. Did they reheat this or something? Because if I had ordered this as delivery, the delivery person would have probably taken the unfair blame. Overall I feel terrible writing this because its a small business, but that was absolutely not worth the money. This is, at best, a try-it-once-for-the-Nigerian-cuisine-experience place that I cant recommend to anyone. You be the judge. Edit: After reading some of these non-five-star reviews there appears to be several pointing out the food seemed reheated sometimes. That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I tried the food because it absolutely was not hot. Id be willing to bet it was actually reheated - if it looks like duck right? I guess Im not the only one that has had this experience and I really wish it werent the case because its relatively close. Edit 2: The owner replied to me and told me they gave me an order that was already sitting there for a while packed from before (which attempts to explain why it was not hot at all, Im talking barely lukewarm here) and they even looked at all my reviews to justify to themselves that I am unable to appreciate food from other cultures (I have 5 stars for a shawarma place and a jerk chicken place from what I remember of the top of my head). They also mentioned that they had a huge online rush order and they didnt want to keep me waiting so they gave me food that was sitting there because the delivery driver was late (what?). I never said anything about being in a rush and youd think that a restaurant would have lots of hot fresh food if they were that busy after opening at 2 PM on a Tuesday. Theyre right about one thing though, they charged me $23 + tax = $25.99 (I should have wrote $26 instead of $25). Edit 3: Sadly, downgraded their overall rating based on the owner response. They actually made this review easier to justify after they outed themselves for giving me food that wasnt hot (supposedly it was sitting there already for a while). If this place cant be bothered to make sure your food is hot then it already fails one of the most basic things a restaurant should do. I literally walked into the empty store and said This is my first time trying Nigerian food and was given this awful experience. You couldnt be bothered to give me hot and fresh food the first time, why would I ever go back a second time? The other negative reviews make so much more sense now.

The jollof is amazing, very tasty, the egusi and the pounded yam is extraordinary good, the Pomo was very basic, since you cannot order ponmo from any meat shop here, I thought it was imported from Naija, but it was not, the amala was ok, I can tell this people are not Yoruba, but they tried, overall , highly recommend for their egusi.

I have a ton Nigerian friends but I never got a chance to experience the food. Im happy for Blessinglicious because now I was able to try the delicious Nigerian food. I highly recommend!

The best Jollof rice we have tried in Toronto! It was perfectly smokey and very flavourful. We also got the suya chicken, pepper beef and coleslaw; everything was delicious. Cant wait to order again!

I have been ordering from this restaurant and everything has been fine not until yesterday I ordered pepper soup and rice and rice came in stale like it had been in the fridge for a while which is just distasteful, doesn t take anything to boil rice rather than selling stale food I was rather dissapointed

Had a wonderful time here with my friends and family. We tried so many great dishes and were so full by the time we left. The service was incredible which made the entire experience that much more memorable. Will definitely be back! :)

Blessinglicious is really a blessing. Their food is in good quality, and fresh when it arrived. I got pounder yum and Egusi which is really my favorite Nigerian food, you can see in my profile that I am a Filipino, yes I am, and I learned and liked Nigerian food because I am friend with the Nigerian community in my Country Philippines. I get ubereats from this restaurant and the price is really cheaper than I thought compared to other restaurants I tried. Im looking forward to visit this restaurant.

Mouth watering and flavourful cuisine. We had an enjoyable experience Vegetarian options: Halal meals available Food : 5/5 |

Blessinglicious offers a spectacular taste of Nigeria right here in Scarborough. The Suya Chicken is perfectly seasoned and full of flavour, and its a must-try for meat lovers. Jollof Rice has an authentic taste that keeps you coming back for more. Pair these with a refreshing glass of Zobo and end your meal on a sweet note with fluffy, delicious Puff Puff. I highly recommend it for anyone craving genuine, quality Nigerian street food!

This place is the best place to get fresh food and by fresh I mean fresh , you know it s been cooked same day , the food is really in good quantity therefore matching the price , the service is top notch you feel very welcome when you step into the store the owners are very lovely . Please don t hesitate to visit this place .

Good customer service and delicious home made Nigerian meal in Toronto

The owner was very accommodating. We ordered the sayu Chicken, jollof rice & my kids loved the puff puff.. All of our food came out fresh. I would highly recommend stopping here if you re in the area.

The man running the place was very nice but the food wasn t as good as I hoped. You could tell everything was reheated and put in a to go container. The rice tasted burnt and old and it just wasn t it. We threw it all out.

The best jollof rice i have ever tast. In fact, everything was delicious. The restaurant is more like family style restaurant for everyone was very friendly and make you feel like home when talking to them

I always have a wonderful experience. I enjoy the quality of the food and the environment all together. I would recommend to everyone I know.

Thanks for updating my taste bud!!! I came.. I saw my pounded yam and I conquered the Egusi. The service was prompt and welcoming. Home away from.

Davy Sage and his wife, they are running this restaurant together , my god their customer service , treating people like gold. i really appreciate you guys . all the best

We ordered the poundo yam and okro soup on uber eats, was disappointed . The food took so long to arrive. When it finally arrived, the okro soup was watery with 1 drumstick. Poundo yam was so soft and sticky, we were unable to eat it and had to throw away. Not. Ordering. From. Here. Again!

Great food I recommend the peppered beef

It was our first time trying Nigerian food, and we were so impressed with the flavours and taste! We especially enjoyed the fufu and the okra curry, as well as the Jallof rice and chicken. The owner was also super friendly, and consistently checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. She also gave us a sample of Zobo and Puff Puffs, which were fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend for a delicious food experience!

Oh my goodness This taste is irresistible

Great first experience of Nigerian food and hospitality. The owner is very friendly and we were greeted with warm welcome. She suggested what we should order and all the suggestions were amazing. She was honest about the portions and helped us not to over order. The jollof rice, suya chicken, zobo drink and the pounded yam with okra soup tasted delicious. Definitely a 10/10 from my side, would recommend. Note: There is GreenP parking right in front of the store.

Great place. Owner was kind enough to extend the closing time so we could have some fufu! Tasty food. Thank you!

Not great ordered on uber eats and was very excited to try out this new restaurant but was extremely disappointed. The jollof rice was very bland and didnt look to appetizing, the chicken suya was also lacking the suya flavour and the gizdodo was good but there were more bell peppers than gizdodo. Overall bad experience and will not be ordering food from this place again in my lifetime.

Great foods and ambience cheers

I had the efo riro and swallow. It was really tasty, fresh and still hot upon delivery. Ioved it( the pictures don t do justice)

I am a doordash driver there are sooooooooooooooo slow was wait there around 20 min . And when ask them to when is be ready they didnt answer me .

I decided to order food from here, because I missed Nigerian food, and I really do understand it s expensive to make so I had high expectations, the jollof I ordered looked more like fried rice than actual jollof ,and sincerely didn t have enough salt or seasoning,Same as the chicken( it s advertised as suya chicken ,but it didn t have enough suya seasoning, it just tasted regular chicken, not spicy ) the gizdodo was really GOOD but still too small to salvage the food.For something so expensive especially with DoorDash I really expected more from the rice sadly

This place is just warm and friendly with tasty, delicious meals. The Egusi soup and poundo is very nice. I had a cup of their Zobo drink and it was out of this world. How can I forget the customer service? Everyone there is so sweet and nice. The atmosphere is so welcoming, neat and clean. Ill sure repeat my visit.

We are just up the street and this is our favourite take out joint on the strip. Amazing flavour, and our kids like it too!

The fact that she doesnt compromise is very important, food is super tasty and nice..I will always recommend her.. keep up the standards.

Nice food and delicious African/ Nigeria food.

I dont understand why yall arent there as we speak, drop ya phone, and go get some great food

Delicious African delicacies

Smells like a garbage dump in the store.

Delicious! Highly recommended. This is my new spot.

The egusi was mad, jollof was even madder. Its definitely going to be my regular Home away from home Food

Went an hour before closing and they had no beef, or meat pies so I ordered the chicken. Staff were friendly but service was poor, and they were unorganized. Rice came out warm while the chicken was piping hot. Ordered a side of hot sauce that came out once my food was done. Ill go back to give them another try...

Picked up some late night takeout of chicken suya, jollof rice, and coleslaw, and it was amazing. Super smoky jollof, extremely flavourful and tender chicken, balanced with some delicious coleslaw. The lovely staff was accommodating for my late night order and the price was great. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a wholesome meal or looking to try something new. Will definitely be back soon!

Ordered: 1. Jollof rice, suya chicken and gizzodo 2. Fish with fried plantain Preferred the suya chicken and rice which I have to say is one of THE best ways Ive had chicken so far in this city. Definitely coming back for more.

Heres a review to help u find the place better hopefully the photos help as I couldnt find it prior using google maps Wide variety on menu Enjoy Thank me later Mr viral Ig @TimeTraveler333

I was so exciting to go there as this place is closer to my house . I know about Nigerian cuisine but most great restaurants are located on the West side. I was quickly disappointed! 1. OPENING HOURS: The sign said they open at 12.00pm. I arrived at 12.20pm and the lady was cleaning the floor. The setting was clearly NOT ready to receive customers. Chairs were still on the table! When I made my order she asked me to come back in 20-25 min. 2. THE FOOD: My order was Yollof rice and suya chix. I had the impression that the rice was the left over from a few days ago from the bottom of the pan. It tasted like burned and (not smoky) and definitely NOT fresh! I could tell that the rice has not be done on the same day. 3. CONTACT: When you call the number that they posted online, it directs you to an office number (that does not belong to this place)...so I could not reach them . TERRIBLE CULINARY EXPERIENCE Parking: No parking on site.

Upon entering Blessinglicious you can be greeted with pleasant West-African music and the smiling staff of Blessinglicious. I have ordered the Gizdodo, Pepper Beef, Roasted Plantain, Suya Fish, Suya Chicken, Jollof Rice, Fried Yam, and Zobo from Blessinglicious. The food packs heat and is a symphony of flavours. The grilled meats have a lovely smokey taste and are extremely tender. While I have loved everything that I have ordered, my personal favourites are the Gizdodo and Jollof. I enjoyed it so much that I was inspired to cook it at home! I also really enjoy the Zobo drink. It offers a nice sweetness and floral flavour, which contrasts nicely from the savoury dishes. Blessing and the staff of Blessinglicious have a passion for both food and customer satisfaction, and this is reflected in the food. They take pride in preparing their food in fresh and healthy ways that respect and highlight the ingredients. The staff of Blessinglicious are also very upbeat, kind, and want to ensure that their customers leave satisfied. Needless to say, I have left satisfied every time!

So glad we ended up trying Blessings food. We ended up getting a bit of everything: gizdodo, suya chicken, peppered beef, coconut basmati rice, jollof and the hibiscus drink. All our dishes were incredible! Notes of sour, sweet, savory and spicy all melded so nicely. Looking forward to visiting again and trying more dishes off the menu and having round 2 of what we just enjoyed!

Coming into the restaurant, youre immediately greeted by a friendly face. The place is clean and inviting. I ordered the Foodgasm. The food is divine. The gizdodo is nice and spicy. The jollof rice is fluffy and flavourful. The suya chicken is juicy and packs a punch. Its worth getting if you want the full Nigerian food experience. Scarborough, we now have a second Nigerian food place! Its close to Bluffers Park, and walking distance to everything. 10 out 10 will recommend.

It was the BEST idea entering Blessinglicious! Before I get into the delicious food, from the moment we stepped in we were greeted by friendly staff, good atmosphere and the best vibes when it came to the music. The topper of course was the food!! We ordered Suya chicken, Jollof rice, peppered beef, peppered Kponmo, fried yam and two large refreshing Zobo drinks. Literally every dish had their own mouthwatering flavours and was prepared absolutely wonderfully. We can t wait to try more from the menu (will definitely end up trying everything they have hahah)! So glad my mom and I spotted the restaurant on our random drive out. I ll be telling everyone I know because this is definitely our newest favourite spot for authentic Nigerian style street food. Seriously your cravings will be fulfilled and you re sure to be satisfied, a 10/10. Before digging in, I ll take pictures next time because presentation was also top tier!

Great place to visit with the best tasty meals . You would be glad you did!!!

Had fish roll, Jeloff rice and chicken Suya. One of the best of Nigerian food around and and recommend anyone to try this place. Nice and friendly owner.

So glad I found them after the Nigerian restaurant close to me relocated. I spotted them the week they launched and Ive been visiting every week since then. Food is tasty and fresh. There are so many options to choose from and youll definitely want to come back for more.

The food was great and the vibes were just right! Blessing is an excellent cook and so friendly. It was our first time having Nigerian food and we will definitely be back again.

Amazing food! Made fresh every day, tasty and amazing price! Very welcoming, friendly and caring staff! Will come back here any chance I get!

Delicious food, super cool people..... Lovely

Absolutely LOVE this place! Delicious food and fun, warm atmosphere. Cant wait for the new THEO chicken sandwich!

Absolutely delicious! My family and I were visiting the city and I saw Nigerian street food and forced my husband to stop the car. As in safely but RIGHT NOW. Thank you Blessing for allowing me to once again taste my beloved meatpie, jollof rice, suya, gizdodo and puff puff. Food was quick and so tasty! Highly recommend this food!

Drove from Oshawa to try this spot and it was worth the drive. Blessing and her husband David are very lovely and welcoming. My friends and I tried the coconut rice and kpomo, gizdodo, puff puff, yam, Suya chicken, Bole and street sauce, Zobo, meat pie, sausage roll and fish roll. Everything tasted so delicious and we will definitely be back!

Dropped in cause i saw the sign, and Ive never had Nigerian food before... Had a plate of Beef & Rice that was Amazingly good and tasty... Also a red local juice was equaly good, thanks so much ...

Excellent customer service, Miss Blessing was amazing. The food too top notch . Good place to enjoy Nigerian delicacies.

Amazing customer service! Delicious food and warm atmosphere. I will 100% recommend blessinglicious anytime any day.

We tried the Foodgasm plate and the suya chicken, jollof rice, and gizdodo were phenomenal. The zobo was refreshing and delicious. We were received with warmth and that same goodness is in the food. Highly recommend.

Food is prepared freshly, loved the suya chicken and meat pies.

Awesome food. Awesome service

The food here is to die for. It is so delicious.

Always on the lookout for Nigerian food in the GTA, and was surprised by a 5 star rating restaurant. I shouldn t have been. The jollof was tasty, the chicken was crispy, soft and flavourful, and the gizdodo was a nice balance of spicy and sweet. And the zobo drink to top it all off was refreshing with its pineapple and ginger undertones. The owners are a friendly, sweet couple, and I ll be back for more. 5/5 stars for me!!

Vegetarian options: Food is great and amazing customer service

If you re in the Scarborough area, this is hands down the best spot for a taste of authentic Nigerian street food. Thank me later

The best jollof rice and suya chicken Ive had in Toronto! Nice spice and satisfying meal - along with a super friendly owner make this a great hidden gem of a place! I absolutely love the spot and will continue to return!

Very welcoming environment Blessing was very polite, respectful and patient. The food was very delicious and tasty. Please start making Okro and Ogbona soup. Keep it up.

Absolutely delicious. This is my second give of being here. The span of time between the first time and the second time was six months, and in that time, the trajectory of deliciousness has massively exploded exponentially.

Best Nigerian food I ve tasted in my life. Owner is such a sweet heart. I got the eugsi and fufu and every bite was delicious. 100% recommend this place

This is one of the best, affordable, clean and elegant Nigerian restaurants I have ever visited. With the top notch customer care services from the owners. I tried most of their food and it was very tasty. I highly recommend everyone to come and visit this restaurant you will enjoy your visit. Thank me later.

Tried my first ever Nigerian food and it come out really good! I really liked the Soya chicken and the owner was really friendly!

Greatest customer service ever. Food on point, zobo on point, puff puff on point. 1000 stars.

This is a new, mostly takeout restaurant in my bluffs neighborhood. I decided to try their lunch special mainly to see what the food was like, as I ve never tried Nigerian food before. The server was lovely and inviting the restaurant needs a little work. Looks like they moved in but they don t plan on staying The lunch special was $9.99+ tax It consisted of a little drumstick called Suya chicken had a nice spicy flavor to it, but was really tiny. It also had their Jolliof rice again nice spices but the rice was dry and hard like it was sitting around for a while, and they just heat it up. not a substantial amount of rice either for that price, served with a little less than a quarter cup of coleslaw. I wasn t really impressed. :(

We never had Nigerian Food before and now we can proudly say Blessinglicious is one of our fav Scarborough restaurant. There are so many veg and non veg halal options to choose from and youll definitely want to come back for more. I parked at the Canadian Tire next to the store to grab the food. I recommend the suya chicken, jollof rice, gizodo and meat pie to try. Avg full meal cost $20 - $30.

The food here is fantastic and authentic Nigerian cuisine. It s very tasty, great spice level and amazing customer service. It s a must try for good meals!

So first of all, do not think youve had a nice Nigerian dish if this the only Nigerian restaurant you ate from. We were very disappointed when we got home to eat the pounded yam and egusi just to find out there was only one piece of chicken in the egusi and it had no taste just Maggie. The jollof rice is so dry, waste of money fr. Blessing you don scam me oooo!!!!

The lunch special was so flavourful, well cooked, delicious! Best plantain Ive ever had.

This is the best Nigerian Restaurant you will ever find. You can tell by the way the owners treat their customers and the food is so delicious. This small business will definitely be a big a franchise someday. I left the restaurant feeling better, after a stressful day.

Absolutely loved it so much. The food was really fresh and hot. The customer service was amazing and I truly felt at home. 10/10. Truly recommended

Best Nigerian street food restaurant! Amazing customer service. I love this place, the people who work here very welcoming. Top notch.

Gizdodo was so good! I highly recommend getting that dish.

Was so excited to try this, then was completely disappointed... won t be ordering from here again. 75$ wasted.

The food was AMAZING and brought back many wonderful memories of eating it back home in Nigeria. Customer service was 10/10, couldn t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend!!

The food was so great and the vibes were truly immaculate! Thank you Blessing for such an amazing time!

Blessing is an extraordinary chef and an amazing host. The food is marvelous and the atmosphere remind the best African cuisine.

My first time trying soyu chicken & it did not disappoint! It is addictive, even more so than KFC & far healthier as it is grilled. I also had the Nigerian version of sorrel which tasted incredible delicious since it was mixed with pineapple and banana instead of the Caribbean version which is mixed with sugar. Definitely recommend. Top stars.

One of the best owner I have ever meet. This two couple are ao nice that you feel yourself at home. Food was amazing and delicious. Behaviour is so nice. God bless them. Best of luck.. we are really proud to have you in our locality..

The foods are prepared so well and it is mouth watering. The service is awesome . I came back 3 times here to try there platter. The restaurant owners are so humble and nice. The price is also cheap . A complete package for anyone who wants to try some nigerian food

Blessinglicious food service was great . The meal was delivered warm and on time to my Markham location which was about 30 minutes away by car. The Lady Blessing was very affable and patient in obtaining food orders, and always responded promptly to all my call. She made payment transfer process quite easy for me. Thanks to the team for the extra food item added to what I order. Needless to say, the food was perfectly Nigerian and delicious
