The pounded is really fluffy, but the vegetable soup I had wasn't so nice, it could have been better. The atmosphere can also be improved upon.

The food is really good. I tend to go for pounded yam or Amala with Ego Riro or Abula. It tastes really nice and authentic! Better than most Amala spots I have been to in Abuja. The only place I had something similar was in Lagos. I would highly recommend. When you go outside the…

I am going to be very honest in this review. The food is good.. the service is not that good.. the atmosphere is okay.. just put it in your mind that if you are coming to eat pounded yam, be ready to wait for at least an hour or 2 before you get attended to. The service isn't…
