    • Molly P. ★★★★★ : The employees here are sooo nice! As a tourist it can be difficult to order but everyone went out of their way to help and make us so comfortable!
    • Adiba A. ★★★★★ : i wasn’t expecting authentic shawarma but i thought it would have some unique flavour like maybe suya meat shawarma but it was just a wrap with unflavoured chicken and a TON of coleslaw. all i tasted was the coleslaw. great service, great people but the food is not great!

    • The G. ★★★★★ : I wish I could give minus 1 star. This review in particular is for the Zzone next to Havana on adesuwa road. Selling me bone and cabbage as shawarma, and rotten milk as parfait. #5000 naira wasted. God will never forgive you people in Jesus name.
    • Samuel I. ★★★★★ : Definitely the best plug for shawarma in Benin

    • Stephen P. ★★★★★ : When it comes to delivery of food, they're good. But the shawarma is too peppering , also the cake parfait is ok a bit but not the normal parfait because it's not always chilled
    • Joza A. ★★★★★ : Whoever is making the parfait here should be fired... It has poor taste, wrong choice of yoghurt, not up to three different types of fruit inside and also missing out on granola too.

    • miracle S. ★★★★★ : I eats the fish a lot,like A LOY 🙄
    • Amarachi E. ★★★★★ : Please and please, your outlet in ekosodin is terrible. I bought sharwama there yesterday evening and up till now, I’m still purging. I couldn’t even go to class! There was just 6 pieces of beef and I’m terribly angry that I spent money just to eat vegetables mixed with plenty plenty sugar. I MEAN PLENTY!!! It was the hype that brought me there, now you guys have ruined it. Who the fvck adds sugar to sharwama? No pepper! I just threw the rest away! Just vegetables everywhere and no beef. I’m very angry!!!

    • Ugonna C. ★★★★★ : The shawarma was far from quality. I've eaten better at a different place for the same price. The shawarma was even manageable but the burger??? That was the definition of trash because what is egg finding in my burger and why does it taste like vinegar? I don't like leaving bad reviews but I just had to.
    • Mercy A. ★★★★★ : They sell great shawarma, ice cream of different flavours, burger, etc. They also have a relaxation spot there where you can hang out with your friends.
