    • Mirabel S. ★★★★★ The food was so good! I had the prawn Alfredo and honestly wasn’t sure they’d get it right but it turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever had. My friend had the jambalaya rice, and it was just as tasty and full of flavor. I also tried their baked goods, I bought cookies and bread. The cookies were okay, but I didn’t enjoy the bread. The only downside was the wait time, which was quite long. But to be fair, the service made up for it - they are super attentive and genuinely friendly

    • odosa O. ★★★★ Collins Buka prepares really good meals, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. They do eat-ins, take-ouy and delivery. Their meals are well prepared and tasty, and prices are decent. The restaurant is clean and quite well run with decent customer service. I recommend this if you're in Port Harcourt, and looking for both local and continental meals.

I must commend them for the saftey seal to ensure no tamper untill it got to me. I ordered white rice and palm oil stew, taste is really homey. Very affordable too. Please keep it up

    • Chinonyerem E. ★★★★ Very terrible service. The waiter kept forgetting my order, the Smirnoff she brought was dirty, I was given a 45 minute wait time for my meal and when I asked for a snack to munch on, the waiter said I had to compulsorily buy a drink from the bar before I could get groundnut.
    • K J. ★★★★★ I am an Asian so not putting my opinion on the cuisine taste as it much depends on local geography. However the sitting ambience is kind of casual. The house flies were abundant and the barbeque took forever until we were full with snacks and drinks. We went there for Barbeque specially, but we had to pack it as it was already too late.
