Cyp C.★★★★★ — Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Management
I recently visited Nova Restaurant, Asaba with my foreign wife, children, and extended family (a total of 8 adults and 2 children) while in town to visit relatives. My nieces and nephews specifically requested Nova Restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience turned out to be thoroughly unpleasant due to poor customer service, unprofessional management, and avoidable operational issues.
Upon arrival, we were seated and began placing our orders. One of my young nieces briefly stepped away to take photos in another section of the restaurant. She was abruptly stopped by a man who identified himself as the manager but refused to disclose his name. He stated that photography was not allowed unless guests were seated in that specific section. This said rule which could not be proven by the manager was never communicated beforehand and was applied in a very rigid and unfriendly manner.
When this was brought to my attention, my niece suggested we leave. Since we had already begun ordering, I requested that the children be allowed to take a few photos, explaining that this was part of why they wanted to visit the restaurant. Instead of handling the situation with discretion, the manager insisted on enforcing the rule without empathy. Worse still, a service staff member told us we could not leave because our order had already been placed—prioritizing payment over customer satisfaction.
Eventually, another manager intervened and allowed the children to take photos, but the situation had already created an uncomfortable atmosphere. This was the first of many issues during the visit.
Food service was equally disappointing. Although orders were taken correctly, the first set of meals arrived excessively salty and heavily spiced, making them almost inedible. The meals had to be returned and replaced, causing significant delays. Additionally, the server chose to serve all adults before serving our two young children, causing them to cry while watching everyone else eat. This demonstrated very poor judgment and lack of basic hospitality training.
Due to the volume of food ordered, the table became overcrowded. I politely requested that an empty adjacent table be merged with ours to accommodate the meals, but this request was declined without explanation, despite the table being unused.
When we requested takeaway containers for food we could not finish, at no point were we informed that takeaway packs would incur additional charges. Upon receiving the bill totaling ₦203,900, I noticed a charge for takeaway packaging. When I queried this—given the amount spent and the circumstances—the server insisted it was standard policy and refused to call a manager. She further stated that the bill was actually incomplete and attempted to add an additional ₦2,000 for more takeaway packs.
Eventually, the same manager who earlier confronted my niece returned and rudely stated that every amount must be paid before we could leave. To avoid further escalation, I paid the bill and planned to submit a formal complaint.
Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated further. After payment, the manager threw my card back at me. When I requested his name due to this disrespectful behavior, he refused. I attempted to take the bill to note the server’s name but was almost prevented from taking my own receipt. When I tried to take a photo of the manager to document the incident, he became aggressive, and the situation nearly turned physical.
As we were leaving, a security guard intervened to calm things down, only to then ask me for money—an entirely inappropriate and unprofessional request given the circumstances.
While the food itself is not entirely bad, Nova Restaurant is let down by EXTREMELY poor customer service, LACK of professionalism, and UNACCEPTABLE management behavior.
If there were a rating lower than zero, this establishment would deserve it.
