Hellena Fs★★★★★ — Delicious food and delivery was super fast!
Eve O.★★★★★ — The best shawarma I've had so far.
The hotness was the first green flag🥹.It was very creamy and filling and the chicken was nicely done too.
BTX T.★★★★★ — I went there yesterday..the atmosphere is relaxing, the osun rice was delicious but I didn't like the chicken peppers soup wasn't spicy..but I will certainly try the ogbono soup next..
JE I.★★★★★ — VERY lovely ambience. I ordered the seafood pasta (take away) and ate less than half of the meal. For the VERY expensive price I paid, that food was not appealing at all. Don't think I will take the risk of trying another food after wasting some money previously.
On the fair side, maybe it was just a bad day to order seafood pasta.
Bukky B.★★★★★ — The food is good and it's a lot. I was never able to finish any of my portions.
Service takes forever though and they hardly ever have fresh fruit juices.
Eskor E.★★★★★ — Love his energy, love the food and he gives you so much food. Great atmosphere nice and clean worth visiting if you’re in Calabar.
Some G.★★★★★ — Chef Zhanga is going to hate this review, because he ensures his humbleness outshines his talent. I have eaten in quite a few places in Calabar, but I would eat here everyday just for the chance to sp
Emmanuel B.★★★★★ — The food was very okay.
The customer service needs to improve and be better.
THOMAS E.★★★★★ — For your Peace of Mind please avoid this place, their food (coconut rice) is totally tasteless and nonsense, even a toddler cook better than whoever was in the kitchen on Friday 7th November 2025

Muhammad N.★★★★★ — This place has hearty, delicious and affordable meals. If ever you need something quick to eat you can drop by here for satisfaction. Their staff are very professional and polite.
Emmanuel G.★★★★★ — The queen of good and tasty meals in the city of CALABAR, I recommend this brand for the best fresh meals ..she is the QUEEN
john M.★★★★★ — They came highly recommended unfortunately the owner or the staff who chats on WhatsApp or picks up the calls for orders is a very rude person. In trying to make inquiries on the swallow she had, she cut the line and even told the person who recommended the kitchen to me that I was shouting at her. Smh...abysmal. It's bad enough that one is uncouth, but to also lie is irritating.
Uche N.★★★★★ — Very unserious people. The lady who is supposed to be the Manager I guess could not be bothered to engage with customers, appeared rude and condescending, the waiter did not know what was on the menu or if they could make it.....and worst bit, despite the restaurant being empty a few minutes past 11.00am, they insisted they had closed the breakfast menu.
Very unprofessional staff. Owners need to train their people in hospitality.
Isaac J.★★★★★ — I was excited to visit Beuberyy based on a recommendation from a friend, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.
After being directed to the wrong location on Google Maps and making several calls to get proper directions, we finally arrived at 11:19am, only to be told that breakfast had ended at 11:00am. While I understand cut-off times, the restaurant was empty at the time, so it was surprising that no flexibility was offered, especially for a group of four ready to order.
What was more concerning was the attitude of the staff member on duty. She seemed completely uninterested, more focused on her lollipop than assisting four paying customers. There was no attempt at accommodation or even basic warmth.
I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, as first impressions are important.
Gaius U.★★★★★ — Perfect food nice environment thier staff are well mannered and friendly. Very nice
chinenye O.★★★★★ — I will highly recommend their coconut rice and cow leg….not tasted anything so yummy in a while.
The portions are good for the price.
During peak periods, there might be a crowd but they manage it quite well and are swift with service.
Austin I.★★★★★ — From the steaming hot, delicious amala to the most pleasant staff, neat and airy environment, it has become my no 1 spot for meals. Even the gents was very neat
The only down side is the meals are too pricey, and they didn't have ewedu to go with the amala. But the okro and gbegiri still made for a delicious meal.
