    • Bukola I. ★★★★ It's quiet small, so you'll need to book a reservation ahead of time for large gatherings, there's a 30-50 mins wait time after ordering depending on what you order. But the food is so nice, the milkshakes also. They also have a pastry section that's takeout, by the side. Overall a great experience. 2nd time being here.
    • Efe A. ★★★★★ 9/10 experience because the remaining 1 is for God. Everything, from the ambience to the staff and down to the food, was good. The "Sweet seduction" cocktail I had while we waited for the food was heavenly; I was properly seduced. The food took about 40ish minutes to get ready, and although I would have wanted it to come much sooner, I've waited longer in other places. My friends and I ordered a full spread, and the pineapple fried rice I had was literally to die for. Highly recommend!

    • Ukuemi E ★★★★★ The wait time was very long, the pasta dishes are better than the rice dishes. Overall okay.
    • Ibrahim S. ★★★★ Went in for a chill dinner and was almost disappointed until their courteous staff, amazing food and fair prices made up for it. I will totally recommend Seven and I'll definitely go back. They just need to pay more attention to their ambience. The place looks nice but the ambience wasn't giving intimate dinner vibes (maybe that wasn't their aim). The lights were too bright, there was sand on the floor under my table, the sound system was bad and they were playing Nathaniel Bassey's Christian songs 🤣. The music off me sha. They should invest in the sound and have a curated playlist. It felt like the staff just had anybody connect Bluetooth and play whatever. The digital menu was clunky and unhelpful. They can revamp it and have images by the orders at least. It was so hot at some point, AC was off and they had to turn one noisy Fan thingy towards us to help. This review is basically a note to the management. You have an awesome thing going, just pay more attention to the experience and Seven will be perfect. Also, it had the wrong address on Google maps and it was difficult to find. Walking upstairs didn't have railings too. Unsafe. Again, the courteous staff (I think Stephanie) and the amazing food is why I'll recommend Seven. Again, aside

    • Prince S. ★★★★ Such a nice place to watch movie and relax but they need better speakers 🔊 to give it that Cinema experience but overall good 👍
    • Eric E. ★★★★ Its a pretty comfortable place, very serene and beautiful. Different spots to sit and relax, inside and out, alone or with loved ones or friends. I honestly can't remember how it used to look before this new renovation, but this new makeover is quite beautiful. For their food and snacks, they have a wide range of everything. Buh honestly, i just had snacks, so I can't say nothing about the food. The snacks were well above average. They service is also well above average. But its definitely a lovely place to hangout.

    • Kevin B. ★★★★ I ordered a medium pizza over the phone and I received a small size. The price listed was different from what I paid for which was higher. The quality and the look wasn’t nice at all. I called to clarify but it didn’t resolve anything. I hope they upgrade their services including pricing and food presentation in order to meet up to expectations.
    • Mary A. ★★★★ The atmosphere is beautiful, cool comfortable. But the food is terrible! Ordered chicken fried rice with chicken as take home. Gosh! The food was horrible. I was given tasteless burnt chicken and the rice wasn't even fresh. I am so pissed and disappointed. It is wrong to package food that bad to customers.

    • Jubemi P. ★★★★ My experience was really nice here. The meal was indeed really nice. However the place has a poor ventilation system so I kept inhaling the smoke of people smoking weed at the back. Apart from that it's a really nice place to hang out. The waiters and waitresses were also really nice. They also have board games and other card games you can play while waiting for your meal.
