    • obioha L. ★★★★★ When I walked in from the door way to the counter, the reception was warm from the security who opened the door to the sales personnel who attended to me. Her smile and welcome note was captivating, the way she gave me options of what they have and the services was absolutely great. The taste of the meal was sumptuous, the drink was chilled. I felt satisfied spending my money. I'll visit there again and often. Thank you, keep the good work.😊

    • JE I. ★★★★★ VERY lovely ambience. I ordered the seafood pasta (take away) and ate less than half of the meal. For the VERY expensive price I paid, that food was not appealing at all. Don't think I will take the risk of trying another food after wasting some money previously. On the fair side, maybe it was just a bad day to order seafood pasta.
    • Bukky B. ★★★★ The food is good and it's a lot. I was never able to finish any of my portions. Service takes forever though and they hardly ever have fresh fruit juices.

    • Rhoda E. ★★★★ The smallie smoked bbq added to my original medium sized bbq chicken order was a complete MESS! It was just made of pepper! Please don’t do that, if at all you want to add to a persons order when they’re paying for it please confirm if they even tolerate pepper or whatever rubbish you put in it. That was very awful and unpleasant…. Extremely disappointing.

    • Emmanuel E. ★★★★★ The experience was okay for a first timer like me. Something that stood out was the peppered croaker fish; it was really peppery. Avoid that fish if you don't like or don't need pepper. The fried rice was okay to quench the hunger but not spectacular if you're a foodventurer like me. Bread, Ice Cream, Gizzard, Meat Pie are among other items they offer. Customer service was okay. Please always check the content of your bill before paying. Cheers

    • Kingsley E. ★★★★★ This is the best place in South-South to have Ice Cream. The product is simply the best. The service you get from the staff is the only of its kind; those guys are amazing. Thank you, Alyce Ice. Best place.
    • Elizabeth E. ★★★★ They have really amazing ice-cream. Very creamy texture, and amazing taste. They have nice staff behaviour, and good customer service. However, I hate the fact they always want impose toppings on people. I love plain ice-cream, without any toppings, so it's very annoying. If you're buying here, be sure to tell them you don't want toppings, very clearly, and emphatically, or you just may find yourself paying for toppings you didn't ask for, like whatever unwanted toppings were added to my ice-cream in the picture, that stressed the living daylights out of my poor teeth.
