    • Dare O. ★★★★ Can not rate the food because cafe and pastries was closed so I couldn’t even get coffee. No physical menu so you need to have your phone which is weird because then we were told we could not have our purses (6 women). We were not told this when we all walked in and asked if they were open. Dear Manager: How do you pay for a meal and get the digital menu without your phone from your purse? Also no water or drinks in the 20-30 mins spent. My group left without any service . RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TO AVOID THIS PLACE. 2)

    • Ab S. ★★★★★ In as much as the food is great and the ambience nice , there’s something that is going on that the management needs to fix . Me and my friends have observed this countless times that the wait staff , when they notice someone is new there decided to pull of a certain scam-like theatric. After eating , where on earth does the wait staff tell you your bill verbally without a printed bill and collect the money through a personal Opay account , leaving the customer feeling robbed , because there is no way of actually verifying that the bill is even yours in the first place. The hard truth is that this behavior must be dealt with decisively by the management , no restaurant of class and decency treats their customers that way . It must be compulsory that customers get a printed bill and not just at random and also the restaurant should have a dedicated bank account that customers should pay to and prohibit staff from using their personal bank accounts. This and more will improve customer experience significantly.

    • Denen T. ★★★★★ One of the worst prepared peppered chicken i tasted. Plus the asun we got was nothing close to how asun should be prepared. I ate it though because i would essentially waste my cash if i didn't. The place itself looks good but they need to hire better chefs or stick to simpler food options.
