    • Chinonyerem E. ★★★★ Very terrible service. The waiter kept forgetting my order, the Smirnoff she brought was dirty, I was given a 45 minute wait time for my meal and when I asked for a snack to munch on, the waiter said I had to compulsorily buy a drink from the bar before I could get groundnut.
    • K J. ★★★★★ I am an Asian so not putting my opinion on the cuisine taste as it much depends on local geography. However the sitting ambience is kind of casual. The house flies were abundant and the barbeque took forever until we were full with snacks and drinks. We went there for Barbeque specially, but we had to pack it as it was already too late.
