Goodness O.★★★★★ — Farm City is honestly an amazing place to be! 🎉
It’s spacious, lively, and filled with good music that sets the perfect vibe.
The games are very affordable too—bowling costs just ₦7,500, and other games start from ₦2,500 and above, which makes it easy to have fun without breaking the bank.
They’ve got great ice cream and tasty snacks, and upstairs you’ll find snooker for even more fun. I had an ice cream there that I honestly hadn’t tasted since I was a kid 😂 pure nostalgia!
If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun-filled spot to hang out, play games, and enjoy yourself, you should definitely try Farm City. It’s truly a place to be! 👌✨

Ayodeji A.★★★★★ — It's a decent restaurant with decent services. Their food is great compared to other restaurants and you'll find good customer services.
I highly recommend. A 4-star because while I was cool with it, I wasn't necessarily impressed with the restaurant as a whole.
Jennifer O.★★★★★ — Just realised the hotel and The Living Room restaurant are two different establishments, but under the same ownership. I’ve already shared my review on Yellow Door Hotel’s page, but I had to drop one here too!
I was served complimentary breakfast throughout my stay at YDH and honestly, everything was a 10/10.
All the times I had lunch and dinner at the restaurant, I loved the fact they always gave me a timer on when my food will be ready and 9/10 times, my food arrives way before the timer goes off. The staff is friendly, nice and patient. Andddd best part, their staff is so well-trained. No one begged for tips or made me uncomfortable, they were simply professional and polite. I was so impressed that I happily tipped the waiter who served me.
The food here is amazing, no exaggeration. I can’t wait to have their asun, turkey, and soft-fried yam again. Highly recommend. 🤍
Princess F.★★★★★ — Come for the cozy vibes, stay for the aesthetics, but maybe skip the 'post for a drink' hustle. They were definitely picking and choosing who got that freebie today. Still a cool space, though!
Okey E.★★★★★ — The food here is quite good, and I enjoyed the flavors. 😋 However, be prepared for a substantial wait time when it comes to getting served. ⏳ It felt like an eternity before someone attended to me. 🕰️ Despite that, the food was a saving grace. 🥳
Seyi S.★★★★★ — Nice and decent restaurant, tucked into Wuse 2 of Abuja. Not difficult to locate.
The restaurant has varied range of local and continental dishes. The display was nice and the food tasted well prepared. Cost for good meal will range between 6,000 to 9,000 depending on the combination. The layout of the restaurant was also nice.
Unfortunately, parking space may be an issue! Your vehicle can be blocked or you may be called upon to shift for another vehicle.
Keven D.★★★★★ — Had a lovely time at Cantina Restaurant, Abuja. The ambience was good, the food was nice, but the real highlight was the service. Tina, our waitress, was so professional and attentive that I couldn’t help but wonder if the restaurant was named after her 😄😃 She truly made the experience memorable. Great food, great vibe, and top-notch service. Would definitely visit again!

Eephie I★★★★★ — Nice dining (indoor and outdoor), with friendly staff. A go to when craving to try out a new food yet, want to feel safe with familiar meal options. Meals and beverages are not pricey - very okay for the cost. The outdoor ambience is totally loveable especially in the early evenings. If you are a picture lover, you would love it here!

Bee-Bee I.★★★★★ — This is my first time visiting Today’s Bukka and I can categorically say that I really enjoyed my food. I ordered Amala, Ewedu, Titus fish and goat meat. It was too DELISH that I ordered for another plate. The ambience is nice, the space is very CLEAN and our server Emmanuel went above and beyond! Emmanuel truly deserves employee of the year. Also, the beautiful lady with the all back braids taught us how to play Ayo. She was so sweet and has a charming smile. I’ll visit again soonest.
Joseph P.★★★★★ — Very nice place to visit with karaoke 🎤 but things are a bit expensive. Imagine a ram suya sold at 1,650 per stick and thie meat can not even fill your mouth. The 3 stick meat you see on the photos is sold at N4,950.00
Tishaun H.★★★★★ — It took about 30 minutes for My husband bowl of catfish pepper soup, the first bowl had rubbery catfish in the bowl so they remade it and brought a smaller bowl of soup I ordered the Bistro signature chicken The sauce was good but the chicken was pretty dry and chewy. I'm taking a trip to Lagos in a few weeks so I was excited when I saw the name me and my husband thought that our experience was going to be something to remember but this one was easily forgettable. The one thing that I did see that was interesting is there were a few attractions that we could go to on our way to the restaurant but I am rating the restaurant not the attractions.
Jumoke★★★★★ — Lagos Bistro will take you straight to Lagos! I really love the entire Lagos-themed there. I’m not a fan of Lagos, but I was genuinely intrigued, if I had never been to Lagos, this place would probably make me want to book a flight to experience it. I guess that’s the whole point! 😂
My dear friend took me there, and interestingly, it’s in the same spot as the Art Tech District, so you can easily stop by before or after visiting there.
The staff are well-trained, polite, and friendly. We had the Jambalaya native rice, and it was good. The space is also very cosy and perfect for a private date. There are different seating options you can sit outside, or inside either downstairs or upstairs depending on whether you want a quiet, private time or a more open and relaxed experience.
I would definitely recommend this place.
モーゼスウチェ★★★★★ — The service at Ejanla was superb. The staff were attentive, nice and somewhat funny. The fish meal was also good, but I realised that tilapia is a really bony fish compared to catfish or croaker.
Nevertheless, I will return again and even make it my favourite spot because of the diligence and attentiveness of the staff. Unfortunately, I did not get their names, but there was a dark female staff who attended to me and my guests and she did a very good job.
Well done!
Amina★★★★★ — Citro has just a nice ambiance. Their iftar buffet was bland, the Chicken dry and lacks options. I ordered for a cheese cake and was given a frozen cheese cake that my spoon couldnt go through and so i returned it. Work on ur menu
Emmanuel D.★★★★★ — The great thing about The Place is that there is something decent for every price point - whether you just want an okay meal to fill your belly, or you want to dine like a king. Every meal is worth the price. The smokey jollof rice is my personal favourite, no food chain makes it better than the place. Interestingly, the base rate for a place of rice and chicken is cheaper than Chicken Republic.
Abubakar S.★★★★★ — The staff are nice and friendly, while the food tastes good and is properly prepared, also very affordable and fairly portioned. I strongly recommend their Asun rice.
Kingsley J.★★★★★ — I’m currently at papiee’s and their services are extremely poor. I’ve been here for over 45 mins and I’ve called 3 waitress, all of them snub me. Mind you, this is not the first nor the second time I’
Stella D.★★★★★ — Had a business meeting here today never been here , it a big place for realization, it has an enclosed area and open area , it's pretty span of space. They would serve all kind of drinks, pepper soup
Seyi S.★★★★★ — Very nice place, located across the prestigious Transcorp Hilton hotel in Maitama. There is wide array of local and intercontinental dishes, pricey though. The waitresses/attendants were qell-mannered, willing to guide and assist. Food was delivered to our table.
The ambience is good, homely with excellent view of surrounding road and structures. It is recommended as a choice eatery in Abuja
Neno.O★★★★★ — Foodies is my go-to restaurant for a quick bite. It perfectly blends fast food convenience with a proper, aesthetic dine-in experience. One thing that really stands out is their wide variety of rice dishes — from Chinese rice, jambalaya, pilaf, native rice, jollof, coconut rice, and more. Honestly, it’s the most variety of rice I’ve seen in one restaurant.
The prices are very affordable, making it one of the best budget-friendly places to eat in Abuja. The restaurant is neat, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. A great spot for good food without breaking the bank.
Paula E.★★★★★ — My favorite restaurant though their menu is limited, the food tastes really good and their service is top notch. Very quiet place and the ambiance is really nice. They have a live band that plays once a week. I really recommend
Adedamola A.★★★★★ — Totally unorganized, chaotic, and rowdy place. The food ordering process needs a lot work. It's also equipped with cueless non challant runners. I eat here on a Sunday and the disorganisation left me wondering if I will ever come here again. The food is nice though
Ayo★★★★★ — The food is pretty decent and hot, service is good but can be better. Parking may be a challenge depending on day and time of the week. It can be quite hot inside though as there is no air conditioning, just fans.
Rejoice K.★★★★★ — I went for a Scan at Everight Diagnostic, then I was told to walk around to for my water intake to go down below, that was when I saw the restaurant and I decided to go in and I was surprised with everything.
Eunice I.★★★★★ — The food here is amazing, I recommend their shawarma and grilled fish. They have the best jazz night on Fridays
Stephanie B.★★★★★ — The two times I’ve come here, they never have a lot on their menu. The first time I came here, I thought the atmosphere was beautiful, quite serene and aesthetic. But when it was time to place an order, everything- we don’t have, we don’t have. So I asked them, what then do you have? I eventually ordered the Smokey special red rice. The food was delicious, but the service was really slowww, and not sharp.
The second time I came here again, I placed an order the first time, they came back after about 15 minutes and told me they don’t have it. I ordered something else again, they don’t have it. I settled once more for the Smokey special rice. I placed order for a drink, learnt my lesson this time and asked what was available, and let me pick from that option. I was shown, and I made my decision. They came back again, they don’t have it, nothing among those options were available.….what then do you have? I just completely forgot about the whole drink and stuck to water.
Once again, their food is really tasty, I tried their swallow too, and the soup was loaded with protein. Portion sizes are good, and they’re worth the price, but their service is really slow, and it seems they themselves aren’t even aware of what’s available and what’s not. 🤦🏾♀️
I don’t think I’d come here again, but if you do come, ask what they have before placing an order.
