Kevin R. ★★★★★ : A nice bar/restaurant/entertainment area. We visited with family for an afternoon chat, meal and drinks so there was a quiet feel to the venue, but I'm sure its more lively in the evenings and at weekends. The food was very tasty and everything was reasonably priced. Hopefully we will go again soon.

Mabe A. ★★★★★ : Love the movie experience but the restaurant service was super slow, we had to wait almost an hour for an order and when they found out they didn't have upto the amount we ordered, they gave us only one option which does not include buying something else.

Where many have said to meet top Celebrities in Nigeria. I actually haven't entered the venue but from rumours and while I pass by I think it's really a place of high dignity and respect in Jos.

Bichez N. ★★★★★ : Spacious, packing space is more than enough... Atmosphere is very nice
Joseph A. ★★★★★ : This event review highlights Tamarald Event Center in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, as an outstanding venue, particularly when coordinated by Tales and Tango by Sarah Hamakim. The center's most striking feature is its beautiful interior aesthetics, which were perfectly suited for a wedding, creating a "wow" factor with massive chandelier lights and a well-maintained setting. Logistically, the venue performed excellently: it comfortably accommodated all guests, offered a spacious entrance ideal for the couple's procession, and ensured comfort with a flawlessly functioning air conditioning system. The technical aspects were also superb, featuring a high-quality, "lit" sound system. The event coordination by Tales and Tango by Sarah Hamakim was flawless, ensuring a smooth process throughout, complemented by professional, well-dressed security staff who maintained order. Furthermore, the in-house catering and refreshments were well done, and the entertainment, particularly the excellent DJ and the highly memorable performance by the MC Youngie, contributed significantly to the festive atmosphere. Given the overall seamless execution, the stunning environment, and the professional service, the venue and the event planner are most definitely recommended for anyone planning a high-quality celebration.
