I had the chicken wings and their rice with the spicy salad the food was amazing the atmosphere was incredible such a great family definitely would recommend it to anybody one of the best African food I've ever had kudos to you at lia cuisine
It was my first time trying African food. Very delicious and served with care. Staff were super friendly and make you feel like you're in your own home.
I visited this wonderful restaurant few days back. Initially looking at the menu I was confused what to order especially since I hardly understand French. However, the daughter knew English well and explained me the menu in detail such as cooking style, ingredients, what kind of taste I should expect. I was quite hungry, so I ordered Half chicken combo with plantains and rice. While I was waiting for the food, the daughter offered me their traditional hisbiscus drink called Bissap. I must say it’s so refreshing and tasty at the same time. It’s sweet sour and has some extra zing to it. Finally, my order comes, it’s a well marinated and grilled chicken. The char is clearly visible which made it even more tempting. ( to all my Indian / south Asian friends, it’s similar to white tandoori chicken. They even put a spice mix on it called kankankan similar to our chaat masala. They served a green dip which was amazing but not at all close to our green chutney). Along with chicken, they served a brown looking yummy rice which is very different from the usual rice varieties. Initially, I had my reservations against plantains but surprisingly it was slightly sweet and crunchy. After the lunch, the mother came from kitchen and showed me the unique rice variety. Both mother and daughter are doing an amazing job representing west African food. Overall, their food had ticked all boxes - taste, texture, visual appeal, aroma.
The best I have tried this far. Really really excellent. Keep up the excellent quality of food. Absolutely worth every penny.
Omg the food was so good the portions are great and the ambiance is goooood, as a Mexican I love African restaurant’s because of their spicy food, I tried a few in Ottawa and Gatineau And the prices are as good as their food with is Amazing. and the staff is super nice and friendly. In my husband’s words we feast and my baby loved it too
I was there and it was time to eat so me and my husband decided to eat at the closet halal restaurant, which was Lia Cuisine, and it was the best coincidence!!! It was tasty, moist, and spicy a bit. I loved the atmosphere and the service, I will definitely eat here again, best of luck!!
I had a wonderful experience during my first visit to this visit to this restaurant. Tima graciously guided me through the menu with patience and attentiveness. I absolutely enjoyed the chicken and French fries served there.I am definetely looking forward returning!
Randomly discovered this place online and ordered the chicken meal plate. It was absolutely delicious!!!! Can't wait to try the goat as well next time :)
