Mide A. ★★★★★ : I never liked shawarma until I tasted the one from Zibah's. Rightly seasoned and I like that I can customise to my taste. Their doughnuts and puff puffs are divine, don't even get me started on their chicken... I'd rate 10 stars if possible. Thank you for the amazing service you render!
Lola A. ★★★★★ : Super Shawarma. Balanced, very rich, crunchy, juicy and tasty. I enjoyed every bit of it and didn't want it to finish!

olasode R. ★★★★★ : I did take out this evening and I was given native rice instead of jollof rice. She even added extra 1000 naira to my fee instead of 8700 I paid 9700. I got home before I realized that the lady literally added to my money. That’s an act of stealing. Although the food was nice but the lady that attended to me indirectly stole from me.
Fay B. ★★★★★ : Great place to get food if you're in the vicinity.
