    • Eyeororo O. ★★★★★ : As a Nigerian... we love full plates. Jevinik will give you full plates especially nigerian dishes [na you go tire]. And when compared to others performing similar services, their prices are decent [put your mind around 10K/dish] - especially 'swallows'. Honestly, excellent place to eat at 💯
    • jideofor A. ★★★★★ : The food was not great as at the time I visited. It was a waste of money.

    • Aisha K. ★★★★★ : I was invited and also that was my first time there. The place itself is good, staff polite and professional. Meals are served hot, but I didn't enjoy my meal at all. They couldn't manage an egusi of all soups. The meat didn't taste fresh. Like it's said, "first impression matters"- I wouldn't make a second visit unless if I am invited by someone else.
    • Oluchi J. ★★★★ : First impression matters they say but I’m not impressed with the food I ordered at all. Customer service, ambiance, clean environment perfect. But I specifically asked for just fresh tomato stew with no tomato paste, I got home with tangy stew not fried properly and with same tomato paste I specifically asked not to use. I’m so pissed because I can’t even happily eat the food I paid a ridiculous amount for

    • Laaronke V. ★★★★★ : I loved the ambiance and the fact that they had a vip section and it is equally inclusive with a full beauty salon
    • EnoAbasi E. ★★★★★ : It's a wonderful restaurant and a nice place to dine at especially after a Sunday service. However, I feel there can be much improvement in the ordering and check-out processes; perhaps by introducing a more arranged system such as cues to prevent confusion and improve overall customer satisfaction..

    • Garreth B. ★★★★★ : I’ve recently moved to Nigeria and this is the best place I’ve been to so far! The food is incredible, the service exceptional and the facilities are world class! On top of the amazing restaurant and cabana beach vibes they have a full gym (state of the art) with very reasonable membership fees, I’m actually going back today to organise my membership and some personal training sessions! 10/10 would recommend!
    • C ★★★★★ : If I could give more than 5 stars, I would honestly give 10. BluCabana Restaurant & Cafe delivers an experience that goes far beyond just a restaurant visit. The entire complex is extremely well organized from the moment you enter. Everything feels professionally managed and thoughtfully designed. Whether it is the restaurant area, the upstairs gym facilities, or the gathering halls for birthday celebrations and private events, the atmosphere immediately gives you the feeling of being in a premium leisure environment. The staff deserve special recognition. Everyone working there is exceptionally well trained, highly attentive, polite, and always ready to assist with genuine professionalism. You truly feel welcomed and taken care of throughout your visit. The food quality is consistently excellent. Every dish arrives fresh, perfectly prepared, delicious, and beautifully presented. You can clearly notice that high standards are maintained in both preparation and service. The menu itself is rich and offers something for everyone. Another major highlight is the clean and relaxing swimming pool area. The environment allows you to completely disconnect from the busy city atmosphere and simply enjoy yourself as if you were in a different destination altogether. Combined with the great ambiance, excellent service, delicious food, and available shisha, BluCabana creates a full lifestyle experience rather than just dining out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality, comfort, professionalism, and a place where every detail is handled properly. Absolutely one of the best spots in Abuja.

    • fina A. ★★★★★ : The ambience was really nice. The staff were nice and polite, they even helped us move tables 3 times and that allowed me get a better view of the place. Also! There’s a boutique hotel in this space too but I didn’t get to see it. Definitely next time when I visit.

    • Ayotunde O. ★★★★ : Blake Resort remains one of Abuja's most vibrant entertainment and relaxation destinations. I recently visited and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, with great music, excellent food, and attentive staff. What stood out most for me was the beautiful ambiance and the variety of entertainment options available. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind with friends, enjoy a live band performance, celebrate a special occasion, or simply have a good meal, Blake Resort offers something for everyone. The outdoor setting is particularly relaxing, and the venue is spacious with ample parking. The food was well-prepared, the drinks were served promptly, and the overall environment was clean and comfortable. It's easy to see why the resort has remained a popular spot in Abuja for many years. I look forward to visiting again and would gladly recommend it to anyone seeking quality entertainment and hospitality in the Federal Capital Territory.
    • Sunday O. ★★★★★ : Blake resort has a good ambiance from the entrance to the seating. It's a nice place to hang out with friends and family foe dinner and otherwise. The wide screen from the projector makes it suitable for relaxation especially for football lovers. Their menu is reasonable and their food is nice as well. We enjoyed the grilled cat fish and their local platter. Overall, the experience was nice and the waiter who served us was professional too. I recommend. Thanks

    • Goodness O. ★★★★★ : Farm City is honestly an amazing place to be! 🎉 It’s spacious, lively, and filled with good music that sets the perfect vibe. The games are very affordable too—bowling costs just ₦7,500, and other games start from ₦2,500 and above, which makes it easy to have fun without breaking the bank. They’ve got great ice cream and tasty snacks, and upstairs you’ll find snooker for even more fun. I had an ice cream there that I honestly hadn’t tasted since I was a kid 😂 pure nostalgia! If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun-filled spot to hang out, play games, and enjoy yourself, you should definitely try Farm City. It’s truly a place to be! 👌✨
    • Afrocraft26 ★★★★★ : It was a splendid place to spend time with my sisters! The games arena is just fun! There are lots of activities to choose from, be it physically engaging like bowling and paintball or just AI inspired like the many VR experiences! We spent much but had so much fun too! The restaurant and outdoor spaces are also cool spots to chill at! I'll definitely be visiting many more times...given that they keep the tempo or better yet, make improvements!

    • OLAMIDE A. ★★★★★ : I visited Crossover recently and had such a pleasant experience from start to finish. From the parking area, the welcome was warm and organized. My friend kept teasing me that the food portions were so big I wouldn’t finish mine and would definitely be asking for a takeaway pack, she wasn’t wrong. We were seated upstairs, great ambience and a cooling system that actually worked (always a plus). Our drinks arrived first, the orange juice I ordered tasted freshly made not the watery kind and it was really refreshing. When the food came, I understood the warnings. I ordered poundo yam with seafood okro, and the portion was massive rich, well-seasoned, and loaded I genuinely enjoyed every bite. The background music was a nice touch early 2000s throwbacks that had us singing along at some point. It made the whole atmosphere feel relaxed and fun. Special mention to our waiter, MaryJane. She was polite, attentive, and handled everything smoothly without hovering. She made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back and next time, I’m trying something other than swallow (though it’ll be hard to resist).

    • Tishaun H. ★★★★★ : It took about 30 minutes for My husband bowl of catfish pepper soup, the first bowl had rubbery catfish in the bowl so they remade it and brought a smaller bowl of soup I ordered the Bistro signature chicken The sauce was good but the chicken was pretty dry and chewy. I'm taking a trip to Lagos in a few weeks so I was excited when I saw the name me and my husband thought that our experience was going to be something to remember but this one was easily forgettable. The one thing that I did see that was interesting is there were a few attractions that we could go to on our way to the restaurant but I am rating the restaurant not the attractions.
    • Jumoke ★★★★★ : Lagos Bistro will take you straight to Lagos! I really love the entire Lagos-themed there. I’m not a fan of Lagos, but I was genuinely intrigued, if I had never been to Lagos, this place would probably make me want to book a flight to experience it. I guess that’s the whole point! 😂 My dear friend took me there, and interestingly, it’s in the same spot as the Art Tech District, so you can easily stop by before or after visiting there. The staff are well-trained, polite, and friendly. We had the Jambalaya native rice, and it was good. The space is also very cosy and perfect for a private date. There are different seating options you can sit outside, or inside either downstairs or upstairs depending on whether you want a quiet, private time or a more open and relaxed experience. I would definitely recommend this place.

    • John M. ★★★★ : Overall a poor experince. The Asian rice was 2/3 rds cabbage and 1/3rd rice. It was dissapointing. The Suya was tasty but not worth the price. The half chicken was really 1/4th chicken. It had no real taste and was dry but the texture was good. It came with some complimentary garlic bread(?) which was quite tasty. The ceasar salad was not really a ceaser salad but more of what they think a ceaser salad might be. It had no lettuce, no croutons or ceaser dressing or anything that involves making a ceasar salad, although it did have onions... We chose to eat outside which was a bad choice because of the flies which nearly spoiled our already dissapointing food. When we told someone, the answer we got was "sorry." The upper-outside level we stayed on did have a nice view of the surrounding area, but that is about it. Me and my wife were very dissapointed with the overall experience for the price we paid.
