Stephenson★★★★★ — Their catfish pepper soup is salty, quite nice tho, they also don’t have a full takeaway pack for the catfish, they’ll break your catfish to fit into the small take away they have,
I’ll just give them 2.0 on ratings, they have other flaws tho….
Charles B.★★★★★ — Somewhere is nowhere. We had high expectations but those expectations were mostly shattered. Firstly it's more of a bar than a restaurant so maybe that was our fault thinking it was a full blown restaurant. Also we went there on a Wednesday so maybe they're not used to having customers at the restaurant on weekdays. To be fair the food was actually quite good even though the goat meat was a bit hard.
The staff need serious work on customer service : aptitudes like conversational skills, honesty, customer care... need to be acquired.
The owner and her family were present at the restaurant at the time but they paid us no mind at all, I wonder what their excuse was : they probably don't care about the business that much.
Would I recommend as a restaurant ? Probably not, unless you are looking for a place to sit down for 2 hours before your food is served.
Pictures of the food included - coconut rice ans Bushman rice
Buzor U.★★★★★ — You know when people say that a place definitely represents the name which it bears? This is that exact definition! It is truly African and certainly unique. A place that makes you want eat African all day until you drop or until you can no longer lift yourself off the chair and probably have to be carried home. Forgive my long rambling, but I cannot help but describe the kinds of imagination this place brings to my head. Totally amazing!
Afolabi D.★★★★★ — Mehn! I found myself actually trying to steal my own food …looool.. that’s how good it All tastes. Delivery and packaging as well are really good. I recommend!
Teniola F.★★★★★ — If you guys are not running online service just state it rather than wasting someone's time.......very poor customer service I ordered for food since past 3pm no phone call or update till past 6 and they are still giving me attitude upon coming to their spot
PRINCE R.★★★★★ — Worsted solid food kitchen but okey in cooking rice…. My opinions though.
