Abdulmujeeb M.★★★★★ — Lovely rooftop view. Affordable menu. Music was too loud for me. Otherwise, a good place to chill with your friends
Ewuola D.★★★★★ — We went there after service yesterday and had the experience of our lives. It's been a while since we saw this kind of customer centric attendance. We were literally pampered.
Kenny A.★★★★★ — Food was good and the service was decent too. The ambience was a letdown though. A little face-lift or clean-up of their outdoor sitting will make the place a lot better.
Afeez D.★★★★★ — This place has good views and lovely drinks options. The food was great and their staff were also pretty helpful as well. The jerk chicken with Jollof rice was pretty nice and the kiwi mocktail is also nice as well. The DJ bangs pretty solid as well and the ambience is also pretty solid as well. So I’ll definitely recommend here for any fun seeking person in ILORIN

Maryam O.★★★★★ — That was my first time in this restaurant....
Oops, I forgot to take pictures.
The place is homely, they have varieties of food, I was surprised to see they sell swallow there.
They have different foods that look inviting in their show glass, you can check what you want to eat and make a decision on the spot.
Their staff are well-trained and welcoming.
I was surprised to see wristwatches at the entrance. Master of many businesses, they sell wristwatches and stuff too. And yes, their food is delicious, muah!
I got pounded yam and egusi+meat and their egusi has a lot of orisirisi (assorted) innit.
And yes, their prices are average, though it depends on your pocket though. You can eat there and they offer takeaway as well, and you can even go with your plate.
It's a great place with good ambience .
I ordered pounded yam again and now confirmed it's really pounded and not poundo yam, it was so delicious that I wanted more.
Next time you visit Ilorin, ensure you try the pounded yam and Egusi soup at T&K restaurant
alomg University of Ilorin road, Tanke.
That's great though, I wish T&K more customers. Keep it up

I bought swallow with Ogbono soup, I guess that was my greatest mistake today. It had a weird taste. I had to eat my swallow with the soap I had at home. Imagine being my first time to try your Ogbono, and it was bad. I had to some of my swallow alone.
I know it happens once a while though, which is normal but I don't think I will try your Ogbono again, who knows? That taste won't leave Mmy tongue and I had to take dry gaari to mask it.
Thanks for changing my notion about Ogbono that I love.
Ewuola D.★★★★★ — I've been patronizing this restaurant for about 5 months now since I relocated to ilorin. I also buy soups from there. Their food is very nice and so much like homemade meals. Their delivery service is great and even when you dine in you are well attended to. You should also try their zobo and tigernut drinks.
Keyede E.★★★★★ — The ambience is perfect, and the place has personality. Super eclectic and detailed decor, which I like. Customer service is A+ and all their treats are reasonably priced. Parking may be an issue, though, so keep that in mind if you're driving there.
Also, they make the best wings!

todays service, good and comfortable dining 🍽 available which is take away and the price is normal and I spending per person 30k to 40k
ismail O.★★★★★ — Nice place to eat local yoruba meal
Remy L.★★★★★ — The place is nice to take pictures, but don't rely on getting quality service or food. I went 27/07/25. The staff work like they're not happy to be there. I was told the only thing available on their menu was shawarma, when i bought their shawarma for 3k, it was poorly made and had no sausage in it. To make it worse it took soo long for it to be ready. They said the person that knows how to make it was not around. I'm definitely never visiting again.
Adetuase P.★★★★★ — Place of pleasure is an amazing place for leisure activities and bonding time. The ambience is beautiful and the service is great. You only need to buy a visa to permit entrance once in a year.
Geo S.★★★★★ — Everything was Nice and ‘Low Key’. Music was kinda loud when I around tho but everything else is ok
By the way, try their Tiger Nuts when you get there, you will love it
Efechukwudi M.★★★★★ — try out this restaurant and thank me later

emmanuel E.★★★★★ — A very nice place to chill out with your friends and family and love. The pepper soup is wow.
