Oiza A. ★★★★★ : The staff is kind and very friendly The order is is made timely and so is the delivery I suggest you order before going to pick up to avoid waiting ,although the wait time is very small . The shawarma is very good , it quite unique is comparison with the others I have had in apo
Princess O. ★★★★★ : This has to be the best shawarma brand in Abuja. Their shawarmas are so tasty and well stuffed, they don’t spare those proteins and fillings atall😍😍 Had their icecream and yoghurt too and they tasted really creamy and rich. I plan to order more soon.

Bala A. ★★★★★ : Went with a few friends to experience their Legend platter. It was a blast and we loved everything from the suya, chicken, agege burger, rice and Arabian tea. Wasn’t a fan of the Alfredo pasta by the way, will definitely swap for a plate of rice next time. Overall a great meal, with value for the price and an amazing serving for 4-5 people
Wueseter Y. ★★★★★ : Lovely place with good food and ambience for eating out. Only issue I had was that the smoke from the kitchen kept spreading into the seating area

Oladipupo O. ★★★★★ : Really good Shawarma. They are renovating the place so the ambience was non existent. So I hope the next time I go there, the renovations will be done and the place will have a better atmosphere.
Shammah V. ★★★★★ : Once upon a time this was my fave sharwarma spot. The sharwarma here was banging but sadly not as great anymore. The ambience is pretty basic nothing extra ordinary. Wait times were short whenever I visited and the staff were friendly.

Shaka P. ★★★★★ : They tell you it takes 20 minutes to send your Food but it totally ghost you for hours even if you don’t call them . And then they lie that the food was sent since but refuse to send the riders number
Ekaette M. ★★★★★ : Best shawarma, with great taste. You can order from glovo or chowdeck. Still the same taste and quantity. Though it's cheaper if you're buying it from the store directly than buying from glovo or chowdeck. Thank you.

Sotonye A. ★★★★★ : The restaurant is ok. They have sitting available on the patio. There is also sitting in the building. The minimum time for any meal to get ready is about 50 mins. Getting pineapple juice is about 30 mins. The food is good. There is life music playing but feels like the customers are the attraction. The staff are ok.
Princewill H. ★★★★★ : A great and cozy place to stay and relax with friends. They have a very nice Arabian tea and tasty shawarma. They have a fully air conditioned space with VIP section and also an outdoor relaxation space
