BTX T.★★★★★ — I went there yesterday..the atmosphere is relaxing, the osun rice was delicious but I didn't like the chicken peppers soup wasn't spicy..but I will certainly try the ogbono soup next..
obioha L.★★★★★ — When I walked in from the door way to the counter, the reception was warm from the security who opened the door to the sales personnel who attended to me. Her smile and welcome note was captivating, the way she gave me options of what they have and the services was absolutely great. The taste of the meal was sumptuous, the drink was chilled. I felt satisfied spending my money. I'll visit there again and often. Thank you, keep the good work.😊
evison A.★★★★★ — Wow I really enjoyed the services rendered and the food was very yummy
JE I.★★★★★ — VERY lovely ambience. I ordered the seafood pasta (take away) and ate less than half of the meal. For the VERY expensive price I paid, that food was not appealing at all. Don't think I will take the risk of trying another food after wasting some money previously.
On the fair side, maybe it was just a bad day to order seafood pasta.
Bukky B.★★★★★ — The food is good and it's a lot. I was never able to finish any of my portions.
Service takes forever though and they hardly ever have fresh fruit juices.
Emmanuel B.★★★★★ — The food was very okay.
The customer service needs to improve and be better.
THOMAS E.★★★★★ — For your Peace of Mind please avoid this place, their food (coconut rice) is totally tasteless and nonsense, even a toddler cook better than whoever was in the kitchen on Friday 7th November 2025

Joy C.★★★★★ — This shawarma from food villa is the worse I have eaten. Not tastee. All previous reviews are fabricated. I'm really disappointed. To know that I ordered this shawarma because of the fake reviews here
Nsibiet A.★★★★★ — Great restaurant for outing. Houses the prestigious medplus calabar pharmacy
Eranke O.★★★★★ — I bought a plate of beans from their branch at effioette obviously because I was hungry only to get the food and there was dust all over the cover of the plate, you can imagine how cold my throat felt.
Grace L.★★★★★ — We dropped by here to grab some food and charge my phone.
There are power points (not many... but yes), there is air conditioning.
Large fush roll deep-fried 1000 NGN ($0.60 USDll). I got the meat pie instead, not much meat but very tasty.
Perpetual N.★★★★★ — First when I saw the name Apples🍎, I thought it was a store for phones and accessories. Not until I saw the menu😄
The environment is clean and attractive, their services are okay, quality of food is nice and very affordable. There's a variety of food to choose from. Their staff are nice
chinenye O.★★★★★ — I like the concept of having to place an order from 10am for shawarma
So impressive
I also like that Ram suya shawarma is stated clearly that it is usually ready from 6pm. That is brillant.
However, the one I had today was too salty to say the least.
Being a first timer and also because it came highly recommended, I was super surprised that this happened.
Also, delivery time from when I placed the order was more than 3hours.
Gift A.★★★★★ — The shawarma was amazing. I hope the quality doesn't reduce 😭
Brendan J.★★★★★ — This is one of the best places to be in Calabar. It's situated at the heart of Marian just by Atekong junction. It has clean scenarios and great view of the bus roads down the front. Great service and nice dishes and drinks. I really recommend.
Sho★★★★★ — It doesn't exist anymore. Has been closed down for over 4 years.
