Maryam M. ★★★★★ : The shawarma is very creamy I love the taste 🤤
Odilia B. ★★★★★ : I wanted to eat in because my child was hospitalized nearby. All effort to contact them on the numbers boldly printed out on the menu failed for that day and the next. Don't put up your business on Google if you aren't ready to handle online orders please. Except of course if you specifically state you don't take them, which is not indicated.

Tiki W. ★★★★★ : I got a shawarma and I can tell you that it was so sumptuous, I enjoyed every bite.
Folakemi A. ★★★★★ : Your shawarma is quite good I'm a regular customer. But your outlet at golf course close to kasu, need proper ventilation and sanitation. The place is always hot and stuffy, the person making the shawarma will be sweating like crazy while slicing the vegetables, as customer you cannot even sit inside as the whole place is always so hot and stuffy. Ps only 1 person taking orders and preparing it, the workload is too much making service slow and un hygenic. There was literally a mop with dirty cleaning water in the waiting area unattended. Please do something about it ASAP so sanitation officers won't have to look into this instead.

Gee ★★★★★ : Best thing about this place is probably the staff. Looks dingy, has an unsavoury smell and the shawarma was big but I've tasted much better for less. The atmosphere looked tired and place looked more like a lab than a restaurant.
Amina R. ★★★★★ : ordered the jumbo shawarma with extra spice and the shawarma does not taste good at all. i don't know how people enjoy this. it was very spicy and no maggie/flavour. maybe might try other things on their menu

Oluwagbeminiyi A. ★★★★★ : They served well... Though I feel they were understaffed. But not a bad experience overall.
Dooshima V. ★★★★★ : Got a refuel combo (fried rice and chicken) and meatpie. The chicken was great and well cooked 9/10. However the rice was slightly overcooked 6/10. The worst was the meatpie. There was no meat in the pie. It would have been better off getting a meatpie at the pie express in front of the chicken Republic. Overall it was a Mid experience
