Daniel E. ★★★★★ : Meal was great. Air conditioning on the other hand, not so much.
Success ★★★★★ : Stop seeing spoiled food, this is the 3rd time I am buying food that is not well preserved. If you did not finish selling your food, preserve it well instead of selling bad food for people.

ADE P ★★★★★ : If you’re looking for quality Nigerian dishes fresh from the pot with fresh ingredients, look no further. You will not be disappointed. It’s surprising cheap as well. Keep it up.
Obi C. ★★★★★ : The food was not that good. The jellof rice I ate was nothing special and I was looking forward to it. What a letdown. The eforiro soup was not that good too . The soup was just average. They posted the price was there foods. It was cheap. The place was rowdy and the wait time was about 20 mins. People were eating when I got there. The place was clean. The shop was small. They have small to adequate parking space.

Obinna E. ★★★★★ : The breakfast in this African den was really amazing. I think the best in PH. Really awesone ambience too, clean and picture friendly. I recommend Labake Foods for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Ahmed B. ★★★★★ : Just had the best breakfast Port Harcourt has to offer at Labake foods.... Toasted bread with fried vegetable omelette including sardines & sausages coupled with coffee. It was delicious!!!. Then took away smokey jollof rice with fried fish. Damn their food and service was on point. Will be back tomorrow to try out their amala. I recommend them fully.

Obi C. ★★★★★ : The food was average. The rice and stew I ate not just there. The soup was average. The did not have any menu available when I got there. The shop was clean. The took about 30 mins to get me my food. Plantain chips cost 2000. Each scoop of rice cost 1000. I got 2000 stew. Each meat cost between 700 to 1000. Soup cost between 2000 to 3500. The place was not crowded. The place was small. The staff were average. They have good parking space. The shop is looked in a complex.
Tobor C. ★★★★★ : Though they sell a number of food varieties here, I'm more focused on the reason I visited, which resonates with the name, Amala Joint. This happens to be one of the best Amala service I enjoy in Port Harcourt, a taste, like it is said, is in the eating. Amala with Ewedu & Igbegiri, supported by assorted, is something I wouldn't want to miss. You can try it out.

Ruth E. ★★★★★ : Food and services are top notch, kip it up👍
Dooby B. ★★★★★ : The worst amala experience I have ever had! Despite how hungry I was, I couldn't eat the food. It had a stale taste and was just unpalatable. Granted, service was okay, the server was polite and nice.
