    • Ramat A. ★★★★★ : I ordered Amala, ewedu and gbegiri with stew, they told me no ewedu but got stew and okro with Amala, the stew is not nice and the meat was hard to bite through. Service was perfect, ambiance lovely but I didn't enjoy my food.

    • Aseda M. ★★★★★ : As a Ghanaian visiting Abuja who has previously struggled to enjoy Nigerian food, I wasn't exactly optimistic when our hired driver suggested Jevinik. I expected to endure the meal. Instead, my colleagues and I ended our week with the restaurant's name permanently etched into our memories. The restaurant has a simple, unpretentious atmosphere and doesn't try to be anything it's not. There are plenty of tables to sit and wait for your food (or dine in), the staff were attentive, and the portions were so generous that none of us could finish a meal in one sitting. The service isn't extraordinary, but it doesn't need to be. Every waiter we encountered over several visits was friendly, patient, and happy to explain the menu options without making us feel rushed. Our food arrived quickly each time, and every meal we had was delicious. I wasn't adventurous enough to try the swallows, but I absolutely loved the rice with egusi soup. If you're ordering for the first time, note that you choose each component of your meal separately, which allows for plenty of combinations. Just be aware that some menu items may not always be available. If you're looking for authentic Nigerian food in Abuja, Jevinik is well worth a visit.
    • 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 💯

    • 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

    • Banor A. ★★★★★ : My wife was craving Nkwobi, so I searched Google for a nice place where we could hang out and satisfy her craving. I saw a few options but chose this place because of its Igbo name, “Okonkwo,” expecting authentic Igbo dishes. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. My wife ordered Nkwobi while I ordered Abacha. When the food arrived, neither met basic expectations. The Nkwobi had no real Nkwobi taste. The sauce was not thick as it should be with potash; instead, it seemed like red oil fried with onions, lacking the traditional flavour completely. The Abacha was also poorly prepared. There was no utazi, the ugba was very scanty, and instead of fish (which is the proper protein), it was served with chicken. Even then, the chicken portion was very small and not worth the price. This experience was disappointing, especially given the expectations set by the name of the restaurant. Management really needs to improve on the preparation of these dishes. I can’t speak for other meals, but for Abacha and Nkwobi, it’s a no for me. Honestly, it didn’t feel like these meals were prepared by people familiar with authentic Igbo cooking.
    • Y-Hama ★★★★★ : We held a farewell party for a colleague here. The restaurant is spacious and has a great atmosphere. The food was delicious, and everyone enjoyed it. The live music on stage was upbeat and lively, though a bit loud for conversation. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

    • Nathanael A. ★★★★★ : The pasta tasted great, but I particularly loved the chicken. Fried to just the right amount of crisp! Thank you, and and I'll definitely be back to try the ofada sauce! 🥂
    • Omonu A. ★★★★★ : I had the rice and beans with sauce. There was a good texture and consistency to the rice and beans, and the sauce complemented it really well. It had a distinct flavour that reminds you of traditional rice and stew dishes.

I literally wasted my money for a vegetable soup without meat because you need to see the small miserable one piece of meat in the soup, even a kid will reject the meat!! !! No soup background not even a piece of fish just vegetables and water!! I called this extortion in disguise!!
