How to choose safely

What to check before choosing jollof restaurants in Ibadan

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Check recency

    Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.

  • Match the occasion

    Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.

  • Watch consistency

    Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.

    • Wasiu M. ★★★★★ The food is good. The service is excellent but the atmosphere is whack. The fine dining experience is always ruined with noise and too loud music. Martha’s is a restaurant and not a lounge/ club.
    • Dr. M. ★★★★★ Nice place though small in size, parking lot and inside space are small, no wifi, no wheelchair parking lot, no armed security personnel, but outsourced security outfit, however, Marthas kitchen is superb with variety of local & intercontinental dishes, drinks and dessert. More enjoyable with family members, friends, colleagues, others. Just you know that Marthas kitchen is an upmarket resturant also having 15% vat deduction

We had the Makinde Silver platter and even though they said it was for 3, 4 of us couldn’t finish it. Had to request for “pack to go”. Also had their Oreo milkshake which was heaven. All in all, this place is tops and would definitely do it again.

I and my hubby came from lagos to ibadan for a weeding, we were searching frantically for a place to eat, we drove pass a particular fast food and we were reversing and ultima was just a before them, ultima security guard named Abdul Rasheed, stopped us and said are we not eating, we said we were going to the next fast food, boy! he started advertising for Ultima, we should try them, he listed all the food they had , sincerely his marketing prowess got us, and did we regret it no! The food was vey good and the fresh juice was a bang.

    • timothy M. ★★★★★ This is solely about the Item7go at Challenge in Ibadan, Oyo State. The place itself is beautiful and their rice still seems the same but over the span of just 2 years, their shawarma has literally gone from great to terrible. The Item7go in Lagos State is new and doing great right now. Infact for me, i think they make the best shawarma in Lagos as of today. I just hope that they can maintain this quality standard as time goes on.
