    • Adesoji A. ★★★★ Everything about this place was just wrong, the gbegiri was more like water after you wash your paint brushes in it. What is the essence of abula when you have gbegiri so thin you can not even taste. Then worse part of it all is you want to make payment and they ask that you pay POS charges for using your card to pay. Not going back anytime soon and won't advice you to visit.
    • toibat Y. ★★★★★ My go to Amala spot anytime. I absolutely love the gbegiri because it is always thick and the stew is spicy, just the way I want it. Then I sit under the trees to get fresh air from mother nature. 3 Amala, 2 edo, 1 pọnmọ to ka daada or ogufe (depending on pocket) plus gbegiri and Ewedu with chilled Eva water. 🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠. Followed by cool breeze under the tree

    • Naija W. ★★★★★ Update: It is quite a good place. Ambience was not really up there as the AC was being worked on, so it was a bit messy that day. I loved the amala (I don't get to eat it much), and the zobo was exceptional. The service was okay, and the price was a but above what I expected.
    • Lydia ★★★★★ The place is nice. I ordered amala and ewedu, the soup was salty and I sat down close to the entrance, hung just on top is the insect buzzer. Thank goodness I was done with my meal if not a fly would have dropped right in and when I told the manager about that she just ignored..

    • Yomi O. ★★★★★ Great place for decent meals at moderate prices.
    • suzzie U. ★★★★★ Today was "World Amala Day" for me and my sisters. A friend took us to a local joint for the best Amala dishes and we weren't disappointed...Its very pricey though but was worth every penny...We were promptly attended to, the food was delicious, water chilled, the place airy...In fact, the big Big cars parked there is part of their testimonial..Lol...Our friend said he drives as far as from Festac with his family to eat here and begged us not to disclose to his family he was there if not, he'll be forced to do take away for them. We did take away for our spouses though being our first time...Great food once again
