Cyp C.★★★★★ — Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Management
I recently visited Nova Restaurant, Asaba with my foreign wife, children, and extended family (a total of 8 adults and 2 children) while in town to visit relatives. My nieces and nephews specifically requested Nova Restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience turned out to be thoroughly unpleasant due to poor customer service, unprofessional management, and avoidable operational issues.
Upon arrival, we were seated and began placing our orders. One of my young nieces briefly stepped away to take photos in another section of the restaurant. She was abruptly stopped by a man who identified himself as the manager but refused to disclose his name. He stated that photography was not allowed unless guests were seated in that specific section. This said rule which could not be proven by the manager was never communicated beforehand and was applied in a very rigid and unfriendly manner.
When this was brought to my attention, my niece suggested we leave. Since we had already begun ordering, I requested that the children be allowed to take a few photos, explaining that this was part of why they wanted to visit the restaurant. Instead of handling the situation with discretion, the manager insisted on enforcing the rule without empathy. Worse still, a service staff member told us we could not leave because our order had already been placed—prioritizing payment over customer satisfaction.
Eventually, another manager intervened and allowed the children to take photos, but the situation had already created an uncomfortable atmosphere. This was the first of many issues during the visit.
Food service was equally disappointing. Although orders were taken correctly, the first set of meals arrived excessively salty and heavily spiced, making them almost inedible. The meals had to be returned and replaced, causing significant delays. Additionally, the server chose to serve all adults before serving our two young children, causing them to cry while watching everyone else eat. This demonstrated very poor judgment and lack of basic hospitality training.
Due to the volume of food ordered, the table became overcrowded. I politely requested that an empty adjacent table be merged with ours to accommodate the meals, but this request was declined without explanation, despite the table being unused.
When we requested takeaway containers for food we could not finish, at no point were we informed that takeaway packs would incur additional charges. Upon receiving the bill totaling ₦203,900, I noticed a charge for takeaway packaging. When I queried this—given the amount spent and the circumstances—the server insisted it was standard policy and refused to call a manager. She further stated that the bill was actually incomplete and attempted to add an additional ₦2,000 for more takeaway packs.
Eventually, the same manager who earlier confronted my niece returned and rudely stated that every amount must be paid before we could leave. To avoid further escalation, I paid the bill and planned to submit a formal complaint.
Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated further. After payment, the manager threw my card back at me. When I requested his name due to this disrespectful behavior, he refused. I attempted to take the bill to note the server’s name but was almost prevented from taking my own receipt. When I tried to take a photo of the manager to document the incident, he became aggressive, and the situation nearly turned physical.
As we were leaving, a security guard intervened to calm things down, only to then ask me for money—an entirely inappropriate and unprofessional request given the circumstances.
While the food itself is not entirely bad, Nova Restaurant is let down by EXTREMELY poor customer service, LACK of professionalism, and UNACCEPTABLE management behavior.
If there were a rating lower than zero, this establishment would deserve it.

Kodilinye O.★★★★★ — Their food's great—chef's kiss— but it'll burn a hole in your lil wallet.
As soon as you walk in, you'll get a dedicated guide who answers all your questions.
The staff are easy on the eyes, worthy
Adejumo M.★★★★★ — I got their Shawarma and Fish roll. Didn't really care for the fish roll, tasted like it wasn't properly made but it wasn't bad. Then the Shawarma took about 35minutes to get ready. A pretty okay time
Grace C.★★★★★ — Food, Service and Atmosphere was amazing.
Food was delicious from the starter to the main and very filling. Loved it, will definitely be coming back
Arizona★★★★★ — At close proximity to Asaba Mall.
Their foods are appealing and tasty, with a wife variety of meals, drinks, small chops (both vegetarian and dietary option) to choose from.
Their waiter are friendly and responsive. And they deliver foods on time.
The lounge has good ambience and the music level in the evening is moderate too.
I had a nice experience and will definitely come back again, next time I'm in Asaba.
Azamaimi A.★★★★★ — Terrible. Ordered hake fish to eat there with rice and sauce. Fish was spoilt. I complained and they suggested refrying. I am shocked.
Great M.★★★★★ — A terrible experience, very disrespectful manager and waiter, I arrived before my guest and asked for water to enable me wait for them, they refused and kept me hanging for over 30 minutes the waiter
Carsalesmannig L.★★★★★ — Nice ambience with a relaxed atmosphere. The food was well-prepared and presented, and the service was polite and timely. Good spot for hanging out, casual meetings, or evening relaxation in Asaba. Ov
Victor U.★★★★★ — They sell local traditional delicacies and at affordable prices. You pay before service and the service is fast. There is a parking space in front which is almost always filled to the brim. The meals taste quite good, no wonder they enjoy very good patronage here. You can get different south-eastern/south-southern Nigerian soups such as Nsala, Oha, Banga, Egusi, Ogbono etc.
Dr. E.★★★★★ — Zygon is a nice place. Good ambience in a safe and secure environment. The serenity is adorned with natural plants giving your eyes something to look out for. Service was a bit slow due to the number of personnel on duty. The food was exceptionally nice as well as the music from the sound box carefully selected for your listening pleasure. You want somewhere quiet and nice? Do Zygon
Abanum O.★★★★★ — This place is a joke..."the service is Poor" is to say the least...these guys are scammers.. I ordered 3 different dishes and they were all terrible.. they added a strong Ponmo and smoked Ice fish to their over priced Sea food okra..the shrimp fried rice was brought out of the fridge and micro waved for us as á lá cartè...the barbecue fish had all the removables still inside it's head..not to talk of the so called Pinneapple smoothie....Never had Pinneapple so tasteless in my life...Please for your mental health and psychological well being...avoid this place.
anthony M.★★★★★ — If you want to hang out while listening to loud music, this is the place to be
There's also a casino here for people who loves to gamble.
Abdulsalam A.★★★★★ — A very conducive area to relaxed and hangout for everybody that needed to be calm itself.
