    • Blessing A. ★★★★ I ordered a takeout and they told me their kitchen is closed and I should wait till the following day. I requested for a refund and they refused. The staff are rude and terrible. 0/100. I do not recommend
    • Somtochukwu N. ★★★★ I feel rating them a one star is a bit too much. Their services have been nothing but terrible and disappointing. They have no regard for their customers and their service. An order was placed on the 14th of february, and today being the 16th of February, I am yet to receive my order. Their service line on Whatsapp gives extremely slow and unhinged responses without no genuine timeline as to when I am getting my package. I called their customer care line and they hung up on me. Zero customer service, zero care for the customer and no respect whatsoever. I do not recommend.
