    • Uncle M. ★★★★★ I used to love this place but for now, PLEASE Don't eat here. I love food but these guys made me hate it on recent several ocassions. The place isn't properly ventilated - the air conditioning is badso you'd feel hot for a long time. If they change and I find out I'll update it. You can still try them if you like stale food.
    • Boniface F. ★★★★ Quite a good edifice with a well organised set up. The layouts in the restaurant very nice and absolutely private. Great time and good meal.

    • Godwin G. ★★★★★ Are there any vacancies please
    • George B. ★★★★★ I previously rated this restaurant 5 stars. I have also recommended it to many of my friends. However, it's unfortunate that their service has been poor lately. I placed an order for some food and made payment via a bank transfer. It's been over a week, the restaurant has not been able to confirm if they've received payment or not. Seriously 😄. Even after I sent several screenshots of the successful transfer. I am utterly disappointed at this level of negligence. It's sad.

    • Samuel O. ★★★★ Nice and cozy! Great food. Order in advance as the food takes a while…
    • Jesudeigha T. ★★★★ My camera doesn't do justice to this platter. Everything on this plate is a treat! As a Southern girl though, I did crave some sort of peppery deep to go with the many things on the tray. Like the lobster (good alone, would have been better with a sauce), potatoes, chops etc. This was a takeout so I'm hoping that when you do dine-in, there's a sauce to relish all of this goodness.
