Instabooth S.★★★★★ — Nice and cosy environment, I never knew I'd have so much fun without spending so much in lagos. Very simple menu and too many girls actually having fun. I always met my current girlfriend there and we
Ottun O.★★★★★ — Really nice outdoor view, the waiters were so friendly and very helpful. Got their protein platter which was actually very tasty and delicious. Personally, I can say I enjoyed spending my time there.
Dayo D.★★★★★ — I came in today, 5th March 2026, to order pounded yam. While I was placing my order, one of the attendants suddenly took the plate of pounded yam that was already being served and said it was for someone else. There was no apology or explanation. The way it was handled felt quite rude and unprofessional, especially since it seemed like the plate was taken because she preferred to give it to someone she knew. It was a very disappointing experience.
Macaulay O.★★★★★ — It's just like many other the place branches, cool and food nice as always. They have 2 floors, 1 for rice dishes and the other for ice-cream and swallow, the ice-cream was quite nice but little flavo
Codie S★★★★★ — No air conditioning. Both foods we ordered were not great. They took 30 or so minutes to make pancakes and when they brought it out, they were burnt. They offered to make more but the time it took to
Juju★★★★★ — My first and last time patronizing this restaurant and I ordered delivery. The speed at which the food came was good but the quality of the food and the portion was not what I expected. I ordered the

Thursday nights are for karaoke and its fun. Service was good. And it doesn't take long for your order to be processed. But they didn't have some items on the menu. Gen

Sarah A★★★★★ — Visited Twice and both time, there was no Light. It was very hot. I guess because there was no other customer. Besides that, the food was very nice. However if you dont like spice, ask them to reduce
Mide A.★★★★★ — My time at Soul Food was good, the ambience of the restaurant was good, the response from the workers there was welcoming. There was an employer who was ready to help take great pictures of you, and t
Nkechi M.★★★★★ — Took them 35mins to prepare grilled chicken and jollof rice. Plus the service was trash. The food was nice but the wait time is insanely long and ridiculous.
Y’all can do better. After waiting for 45m
UdokaObis★★★★★ — Papiee’s Meatro Lagos fell beneath expectation, I have been to their spot in Abuja and that is why we made the decision to visit here. We only waited for the shawarma and left. The ambience is a far c
Hikmot A.★★★★★ — The loaded fries was not creamy. The cheese was only at the top. I wanted mixed protein but I only tasted the beef
The yam was stale- hard and dry. It was also salty. The sauce for the yam had a lot of garlic and ginger that I didn’t like.
Gifted H.★★★★★ — I had a pleasant experience at Sooyah Bistro, Yaba. The customer service was impressive, and the atmosphere was warm and engaging,I really loved that you could play games while waiting for your order.
OVI★★★★★ — No proper signboard or postboard for easy accessibility. Also, information here says the place opens 4pm but coming here on a Saturday, I was told I had to wait until 7pm before the place would open. That's a bit like deceitful marketing.
And with no proper parking space, while waiting, I had to endure terrible odour from refuse dump heaped right in front of the lounge. Appalling to say the least!
Ogaga A.★★★★★ — The yardstick lounge is owned by sweet sensation, so you get food from Sweet Sensation. The food is just there, hard rice, I couldn't eat the chicken cos it has no taste. But the lounge itself is okay
