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.

Rosemary A.★★★★★ — This is an amazing restaurant with very tasty, hot and spicy meals as needed and also makes provision for those who don't like peppery hot meals and more so very affordable (pocket friendly)
Ezo F.★★★★★ — Good food but I think they should work on there customer service but very nice place to eat 👍🏿
Daniel M.★★★★★ — Asaba fine dining experience. Excellent food and served on time.
Chidera X.★★★★★ — Had a swell time here! Food took a while tho but asides that every other thing was pretty good. This is one the best upscale restaurants in Asaba I guess, I'd recommend making a reservation before com
kathy K.★★★★★ — The bread was good but the cake was nothing to write home about.
Erhu K.★★★★★ — Crunchies is one of the popular restaurants people in Asaba go to. It's easily accessible because it's by the okpanam roadside. The staff are very courteous. There is a quiet lounge at the top. The snacks are great, the moi moi was once great but not so much anymore. They sell heated spoiled Moi Moi that's days old. Hopefully they'll become great again. The oil rice and coconut rice are delicious. And you definitely have to try out their pancakes and cupcakes. Their spicy chicken is one of the best I've ever eaten. Their bread is good but I won't be buying from them again because we saw a long rope inside one recently.
uzoamaka I.★★★★★ — The ambiance is cool but the service is poor and the food took over 2 hours to arrive and our order was mixed up
Alexandria A.★★★★★ — Still a Favorite Spot – Great Memories, Great Experience
This place holds a special spot in my heart—I had my very first official date with my now-husband here. It’s beautiful to see that they’ve maintained their standards over the years. One thing I really admire is how the owner prioritizes renovations—everything still feels fresh, clean, and well-kept.
I also appreciate that it’s a no-smoking bar, so you’re not welcomed by any unpleasant smells when you walk in. The atmosphere is always clean and classy.
Customer service is warm and attentive, although I’d suggest they tighten security a bit more, just for peace of mind. That aside, the drinks are always chilled and refreshing, and the food is consistently delicious.
One standout feature for me was the restroom—absolutely clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The toilet is at a comfortable waist-level height, no need to squat too low, and the flushing system on the wall adds a sleek touch. It even smelled amazing! The aesthetic in there was simply giving.
Overall, still one of my favorite spots—nostalgic, classy, and consistent. Highly recommend!
Dr. E.★★★★★ — Zygon is a nice place. Good ambience in a safe and secure environment. The serenity is adorned with natural plants giving your eyes something to look out for. Service was a bit slow due to the number of personnel on duty. The food was exceptionally nice as well as the music from the sound box carefully selected for your listening pleasure. You want somewhere quiet and nice? Do Zygon
Abanum O.★★★★★ — This place is a joke..."the service is Poor" is to say the least...these guys are scammers.. I ordered 3 different dishes and they were all terrible.. they added a strong Ponmo and smoked Ice fish to their over priced Sea food okra..the shrimp fried rice was brought out of the fridge and micro waved for us as á lá cartè...the barbecue fish had all the removables still inside it's head..not to talk of the so called Pinneapple smoothie....Never had Pinneapple so tasteless in my life...Please for your mental health and psychological well being...avoid this place.
