Rachel S.★★★★★ — Shawarma was not nice. The chicken and beef were fried and hard. The experience was not a good one. My jaw ached after chewing due to the hardness.
Bello A.★★★★★ — It was just what I wanted in a place, the ambience, and a great place for having a budget and friendly date.
Wachin D.★★★★★ — Its a nice place to hang-out with a meal. Their meals are affordable too. I was there last Saturday with 4 others to hang-out. Chicken Republic is always the brand I go for wherever I find myself, beginning from Lagos, Lokoja and this time it was my first visit to the Makurdi outlet. The lady that served us, one Jennifer has a top notch customer service I haven't seen in any of the several locations I have visited so far. My concern however was about the space. The management should do more in maximizing the space, I believe proper arrangement can produce more tables and seats. I and my people had to hang in a corner for a table to be cleared before we could sit comfortably.
Onwuchekwa C.★★★★★ — A relatively small hotel situated within a quiet environment.
The rooms are spacious.
However, a few observations:
1. There is nor bar in the hotel and alcoholic beverages are not served (but you can bring yours)
2. There are very limited options for the complimentary breakfast
3. My bathroom was always leaking water all over the floor after having a shower and foot towels were not provided
4. Most of the electric sockets in my room were not working
5. Above all, their customer service needs a while lot of improvement
Nana E.★★★★★ — Absolutely enjoyed my stay. Room was lovely, Internet access 💯, light was constant and the staff were soooo well behaved, courteous, and helpful. I would definitely stay here again 👌
Agatha O.★★★★★ — This used to be one of my favorite spot for “local Tiv dishes. Recently, I haven’t been appreciating their meals, it’s not like it was before and the staff here, they don’t have a work attitude. Their attitude towards work or rendering services to a customer are discouraging, they are mean, rude and nonchalant.
Tunde I.★★★★★ — To get the real experience of Benue food, you need to visit this restaurant. Food is freshly cooked and served in a very serene and clean environment. Air-conditioning is top notch to battle the Makurdi heat. Food prices are friendly and freshly made fruit juices are also available. I tried the sugarcane juice and it blew my mind away.
george S.★★★★★ — I didn't believe I can have a place to eat like this in Nyiman. No More going to Highlevel to eat again, Thanks Akis.
Customer Service 100%
Jacinta O.★★★★★ — This is just the best place to be a healthy environment and healthy food, I can't wait to come back for more.
Nafisat M.★★★★★ — Exceptional service, high-quality meals, and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant maintains great hygiene standards and offers excellent value for money. I would gladly recommend it to others.
Godwin M.★★★★★ — Their food is so nice and also they've good customer service ❤️
TrendyVibes TV★★★★★ — The food is decent but that’s about the only good thing left. Removing the power sockets was a terrible decision. This place used to be somewhere you could actually sit and get work done but now it is completely impractical for anyone who needs to use a laptop or stay longer than a quick meal. It feels like customers who work or study here are no longer welcome. Disappointing, frustrating and honestly a step backwards for the café
yalu E.★★★★★ — So your waiters will sit on a high seat and be pressing phones and looking at customers without even coming over to ask. First time here and I've been sitting here for more than 15 minutes
adah F.★★★★★ — Here are some ideas and useful information about PG9H+RFV, Joe Akaahan Road, High Level, Makurdi 970101, Benue — what’s around, what you can do, and what to know. If you tell me whether this is for living, visiting, business etc., I can tailor more.
Terwase S.★★★★★ — Mango World is an excellent relation avenuein Makurdi. I was there and I enjoyed the grilled fish and milk shake. The music was also in tune and the DJ played appropriate music to suit the occasion
Iorja T.★★★★★ — Fantastic place to spend quality time. I deeply enjoyed their karaoke night. Bunch of talents all over the place. The fish was yum yum and the drinks world class with excellent services.
Semino R.★★★★★ — Your food is good but your delivery services is really poor, it takes your riders about 2hrs to bring food at international market.. Please your management should kindly take action on this.
Torkuma T.★★★★★ — A very awesome place to eat and relax
Ezekiel F.★★★★★ — I don't know what you intend to achieve with this promo of a thing but it's not working.
Bear it in mind that there are people who want nothing but standard.
May be next time ask people if they need the real shawarma or the promo shawarma because I just wasted my money and this alone is not bringing me back
