    • Akin A. ★★★★★ : Correct Amala! It takes you back to the SouthWest! Great ambience as well. During rush hour, the wait can be long but it's worth the wait when the food is that good! ☺️
    • Tobi E. ★★★★★ : Tried out this new spot and I was satisfied with the experience. I have eaten Amala in a lot of places. So their portions are very nice, their service is friendly, their prices are very fair. The aesthetic is interesting. Above all, it was an amazing experience... A 4 out of 5 works.

    • Violet O. ★★★★★ : One of the best spots for Amala. They are good at it. Well known over the years.
    • Igetobs ★★★★★ : It is okay and the stew is quite tasty. However, a number of times, you get there, there is no ewedu but okra is readily available. This can be looked into since it is an amala spot

    • Liberty E. ★★★★★ : Very good atmosphere and a good customer service
    • Adepoju M. ★★★★★ : This place is exactly the name given to it Alamala, the Amala is correct with Ewedu and Gbegiri still the best Amala spot in benin so far. Although the location is not directly on the road but yeah with bolt and map, you can easily locate and the environment is spacy and is just perfect. Although it more of bar vibes but then you will enjoy yourself, and Saturdays they hold karaoke which is fun also and many more. Yeah with #5000 you can enjoy yourself.
