Salis A. ★★★★★ : I very peaceful place to hang out with you love one's I went there with my partner I booked 22,000 V .I.P cinema room I can't forget the moment Iit was a cool memories.
Taiwo K. ★★★★★ : The service was nice, it's located along a major road so navigation shouldn't be difficult. The service was slow though (we ordered shawarma). Their popcorn however offered value for money. The ACs work properly but their facilities could be improved. According to someone, they do not have restrooms, I didn't get the chance to ask so this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
