Our Story

Bringing the Heart of Africa to Toronto

Who We Are

Founded in the bustling heart of Toronto, Africana Buffet is more than just a restaurant – it’s a celebration of African heritage. Our mission is to share the rich, diverse flavors and vibrant cultures of West and East Africa, from the coastal plains of Côte d'Ivoire to the highlands of Kenya. Inspired by family traditions and communal feasts, we craft every dish with love, authenticity, and a touch of modern flair.

Our founders, a passionate team of culinary enthusiasts with roots in Congo, Cameroon, and beyond, envisioned a space where people could gather to experience the warmth of African hospitality. Whether you’re savoring our Jollof Rice or indulging in a Mandazi dessert, you’re tasting a story that spans continents and generations.
