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!

Victor U. ★★★★★ : Nice Restaurant on 7th floor of Tahir Guest Place. Great Rooftop view. They serve Chinese, India and several other nationalities cusines. The price are not bad for the service they render. The meals taste nice and the nice ambience gives an all-round rewarding experience. I enjoyed my time here and if the opportunity presents itself, I will visit again.
Lorena M. ★★★★★ : A superb restaurant that completely exceeded my expectations, especially for a city like Kano. We had the shrimp baos and various types of Sushi which were delicious. The general manager Quassim is very involved, super nice and you can see that he is passionate about his job. The service was good and quick. Plus add in a beautiful view over the city! I recommend without any reservations. Note though that the adress on google maps is not correct. The restaurant is located on top of Tahrir Guest Palace.
