NiaSuccess N.D.★★★★★ — My Very First taste of Nigerian Food!
By Nigerian Standards this place is pricey, But it's a great intro for an American First Timer. The restaurant is beautiful, lovely winding stairs, air conditioning beautiful dining area.
I ordered the Native Soup with Steamed Catfish & Garri.
My serving was absolutely HUGE, & delicious, But SPICY🔥for sure, (Otherwise I'd have given it 5 stars).
My server was pleasant (almost too efficient) nothing we needed was too much for him to handle. It was a good day... We enjoyed it so much we went back a few days later & brought 30 people with us for a special Celebration.
Olanlokun D.★★★★★ — The building is distinguishable.
Parking is moderate. I wonder if it would be sufficient on a very busy day.
There was sufficient sitting and it was well aerated.
Everything on the menu was available which was a good thing.
It didn't take too long for the food to arrive after our orders were placed.
The quantity wouldn't leave you disappointed. It was more than sufficient. If you have a small stomach you might require two sittings.
The food was rich as well and tasted great.
I particularly enjoyed the peppered chicken.
Chinonyerem E.★★★★★ — Very terrible service. The waiter kept forgetting my order, the Smirnoff she brought was dirty, I was given a 45 minute wait time for my meal and when I asked for a snack to munch on, the waiter said I had to compulsorily buy a drink from the bar before I could get groundnut.
K J.★★★★★ — I am an Asian so not putting my opinion on the cuisine taste as it much depends on local geography. However the sitting ambience is kind of casual. The house flies were abundant and the barbeque took forever until we were full with snacks and drinks. We went there for Barbeque specially, but we had to pack it as it was already too late.
Anne N.★★★★★ — Nothing to write home about, with poor Customer service Communication, going there is a waste of time and money…. You guys don’t even deserve 1 Star
Obi C.★★★★★ — They responded on time though their menu was not up to date. I got jellof rice for 10k and native soup for 11k. Their food was good. The staff was friendly.
Chiamaka O.★★★★★ — The food tastes very nice but the service is quite slow. The prices too are quite decent. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Queen M.★★★★★ — Went to for quick lunch with my colleague, and I had Amala, more like satisfying my craving...it was really good . The meals were appetizing and mouth watering..I love that they had varieties of local meals , it was spacious and clean.
jeffrey O.★★★★★ — Cool and chilled place to have a luxurious meal with company of friends, family, etc.
Not crowded. Great layout.
Henry M.★★★★★ — There is a lot of chatter and hype about this place, which is not unusual with a new spot which springs up in New GRA Port Harcourt.
Worth the hype:
* Picturesque interior. A tad garish though.
* Good air conditioning.
* Quality music, wafting through ceiling-mounted speakers.
* Courteous and helpful staff.
* Easy to find via Maps (albeit not very conspicuous), good access roads.
Not worth the hype:
* No parking space. Zilch. Nãda. You will park along the road, at your own risk.
* Poor value for money. Meals are mediocre for the cost. I had Rivers Native Soup, Cow Tail and Poundo. The soup was watery, had no large Prawns and was not very tasty.
* An ice bucket used as a hand-washing bowl. What was that?!
* Music was a bit too loud.
* Faux-gold cutlery, some of which are fading and peeling.
* Really compact space; not suited for group dining. Not wheelchair accessible.
Recommended mostly for single or couples dining, especially where pictures are a key consideration.
