How to choose safely

What to check before choosing afang soup spots in Calabar

    • Emmanuel G. ★★★★★ : The queen of good and tasty meals in the city of CALABAR, I recommend this brand for the best fresh meals ..she is the QUEEN
    • john M. ★★★★ : They came highly recommended unfortunately the owner or the staff who chats on WhatsApp or picks up the calls for orders is a very rude person. In trying to make inquiries on the swallow she had, she cut the line and even told the person who recommended the kitchen to me that I was shouting at her. Smh...abysmal. It's bad enough that one is uncouth, but to also lie is irritating.

    • JE I. ★★★★★ : VERY lovely ambience. I ordered the seafood pasta (take away) and ate less than half of the meal. For the VERY expensive price I paid, that food was not appealing at all. Don't think I will take the risk of trying another food after wasting some money previously. On the fair side, maybe it was just a bad day to order seafood pasta.
    • Bukky B. ★★★★ : The food is good and it's a lot. I was never able to finish any of my portions. Service takes forever though and they hardly ever have fresh fruit juices.

    • Grace L. ★★★★★ : We dropped by here to grab some food and charge my phone. There are power points (not many... but yes), there is air conditioning. Large fush roll deep-fried 1000 NGN ($0.60 USDll). I got the meat pie instead, not much meat but very tasty.
    • Perpetual N. ★★★★ : First when I saw the name Apples🍎, I thought it was a store for phones and accessories. Not until I saw the menu😄 The environment is clean and attractive, their services are okay, quality of food is nice and very affordable. There's a variety of food to choose from. Their staff are nice
