    • Tobi S. ★★★★ Very tasty and affordable meals. African cuisine mainly!
    • Kareem N ★★★★ If you're in Jos, you must try the affordable African food, especially the amala. Their service is excellent and every meal comes with fresh fruit of your choice. I always go there whenever I'm in Jos – you should definitely give it a try too.

    • Abonyi A. ★★★★★ It's a place where you buy locally made food which is called Amala. Amala is made up of yam piles which is allowed to dry and grinded into powder form and which is prepared same way semovita is produced and and can be eaten with any kind of soup. This is produced by a professional and that is why I often eat my food at Amala joint. It's a good place to be when you are looking for a breakfast or dinner.
    • abdulhameed U. ★★★★★ I love hw there food scent. There Amala is a Wow. Kudos to them. They are trying there best

    • Jiwalde P. ★★★★ It's a wonderful place to dine
    • Obiageli-Ifeoma A. ★★★★★ If you've been following my reviews for a while, you'd know that I love amala and I try amala in every city I visit. I visited here with a friend and I had my reservations. The hygeine and service here are to be seriously questioned. The serving spoon was dropped and left inside the soup service chamber. The waiters here were very rude. They don't listen, and kept going in-between here and the Tasty Fingers section to microwave and get other parts of the meal that they didn't have. I'll only leave a 2-star rating because of the price point and the taste of the other soup I tried. It's a new food business in the area, and I believe they can do better in training their staff and being a lot more organised overall.
