    • Iyanda A. ★★★★★ It is important to clearly state on the menu what to expect, rather than having a shredded chicken in the plate while hoping to get a chicken breast. It's a nice place for weekend vibes.
    • Aisha I. ★★★★★ The food was reallllyyy niceee. Everything I’ve tried on the menu was a hit. Their extra curricular activities especially during festive periods are so commendable; I was lucky enough to witness their fireworks and it was an unforgettable experience 💫

    • Muhammad S. ★★★★★ My amazing wife and I just finished a meal, and it was truly remarkable. The white rice with roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and satisfying. We rounded off with a chilled yoghurt, which was refreshing and delicious. A special thanks to Emmanuel and Jealous for their outstanding customer service. They were courteous, attentive, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Excellent food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's definitely a place we’ll love to visit again!

    • FSL ★★★★ Calido is a really pleasant surprise, especially considering it’s located within the rather unimpressive grounds of Tahir Guest Palace. Once you get past that, however, it’s a beautiful rooftop spot with a lovely view of Kano that immediately elevates the experience. Apparently, it’s a beloved birthday destination, there were multiple celebrations happening the same evening I visited, which added to the lively, upscale atmosphere. I was a guest at the hotel and stopped by Calido just for tea and dessert, so I can’t speak extensively on the full menu, but the tea was very nice and the tres leches cake was absolutely divine. The ambiance is top-tier and the vibes are elite. I also really appreciated the wet wipes on the tables, small touch, big impact, and the service was attentive throughout. All in all, it’s a great spot for a chic evening out, celebrations, or a relaxed rooftop hang.
