How to choose safely

What to check before choosing rooftop bars in Port Harcourt

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Check recency

    Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.

  • Match the occasion

    Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.

  • Watch consistency

    Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.

    • Christiana K. ★★★★ Great customer service. Good food, would have been great if it had more moist, the prawn had no seasoning on it and the rice would have been great if it wasn’t so dry. Portion is absolutely equivalent to the cost imo. Would recommend and probably add to my orders that things should be tweaked to my preference. :)

Unbalanced. Excessive sauce. Sauce full everywhere with scanty salad to match. Add more cabbage and carrot! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Meagre chicken. I chewed on chicken bone pieces. Bone! plus gristles 🥺. Inside shawarma! Why was the hot dog in pieces? To carry the excessive sauce? *sigh Shey the reviews dey hail their grilled fish & chips - wey I never try. Na me go turn face make another choice. It is well with me.

    • Baby B. ★★★★ The restaurant is difficult to locate because there's no sign board at the entrance or at the restaurant. Really bad experience here. The restaurant was very hot because none of their air conditioners were working. The food took long to arrive and was overpriced, coleslaw alone was 4,200. Food for 2 persons cost over 50,000 naira. And many food items on the menu were "unavailable" like the salads. So why put them on the menu? The native rice does not contain palm oil. Overall not a nice experience, especially for that amount we paid.
