    • Adebayo K. ★★★★ This place is awesome. There's veeeery good food for a very affordable price!!. One of the restaurants in kano where I've eaten and not had to buy flagyl and limotil after 😂.. Their customer service is also top-notch. Delivering service as quick and neat as could be. The environment is also quiet, and devoid of irritable things. This is one place I will fully recommend without a second doubt. If you want to eat around kabuga on affordable budget but you want good food, this is your place.
