    • Jackson F. ★★★★★ : I recently had the absolute pleasure of devouring a bowl of Oge's Special Goat Meat Pepper Soup, and let me tell you, it’s not just soup, it’s an experience! A 10/10 experience to be specific. It's diligently prepared and everything feels so right and on spot with the dish. Oge's special makes the best goat meat pepper soup I have ever had till date. Trust me you'd get one bowl and always keep coming back for more!
    • Mavworo F. ★★★★★ : I just tasted Oge's special Oha soup and my God it was really nice. Instead of 2-3 wraps of fufuf, I ended up eating 5 whole wraps. Love the beef, and other assorted proteins. Nice one ma. Would definitely try it again.

    • Violet O. ★★★★★ : One of the best spots for Amala. They are good at it. Well known over the years.
    • Igetobs ★★★★★ : It is okay and the stew is quite tasty. However, a number of times, you get there, there is no ewedu but okra is readily available. This can be looked into since it is an amala spot

    • 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

    • Daniel I. ★★★★★ : Buka queen has a serene and clean environment for eating. They sell Chinese food if you are one who wants to take different varieties. They all sell Nigerian dishes. The experience here was lovely and I appreciate Buka queen for this. Kudos to the management and staff for establishing this. I appreciate you.
    • Eigbedion O. ★★★★★ : Serene, sane. Great choice if you’re looking for an intimate setting with less noice, and good food. Sadly, not all food on their menu is available.

    • obayuwana A. ★★★★★ : It was a nice experience. The food was good, same as the ambience. The only thing was that the service was quite slow, but the servers were polite and respectful.
    • 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.
