    • Lawrence A. ★★★★ Nice shawarma 3.9/5 i would say, easily accessible if you're using google maps, preferably pre order before coming, the wait is also decent. Minimum 3k for shawarma depending on your order. Generally it's okay
    • Ajkeshy ★★★★ The shawarma was really good Great price point as well. The wait time is really long on Saturday and Sundays amidst orders coming in from their phone lines. Other than that, it was great shawarma

    • MARY N. ★★★★★ Nic’s Treat delivers excellence in Shawarma, Grills, and BBQ. Their meals are freshly prepared, well-seasoned, and bursting with flavor. The quality and consistency are outstanding, and their customer service makes the whole experience even better. If you want value for your money and unforgettable taste, Nic’s Treat is your go-to. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for the best.
    • Rena's E. ★★★★★ Nic’s Treat is absolutely top-notch! If you’re looking for the best sharwama, barbeque, and grilled dishes around, this is the place to go. The flavors are rich, well-seasoned, and always fresh. The sharwama is perfectly wrapped with just the right balance of meat, veggies, and sauce. His barbeque is tender, juicy, and smoky — grilled to perfection every time. What I love most is the consistency and care that goes into every order. You can tell that Nic’s Treat values quality and customer satisfaction. Whether it’s a quick sharwama snack or a full grill platter, the taste never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food at its finest. Nic’s Treat has definitely set the bar high when it comes to delicious street-style treats!

    • James S. ★★★★ Zzone is bae, simply because it was still open after 10 PM when almost every other eatery in Lekki Phase 1 had closed. Their shawarma was tasty and fresh. The price point was between N5,500 and N10,000. It was worth the 30 minutes of waiting time.

They could serve as a workspace as well but there are distractions around but it worked well for me. The staff are polite and friendly.

    • Obaferanmi A. ★★★★ Food was so poor. Shawarma not wrapped well, delivery guy came with other random stuff with the food in the box. The box was opened. No proper packaging. Took almost 3 hours to get order and also an hour after I was told rider was on the way. Bought premium shawarma but nothing premium about it. Never again, overpriced
    • Real Tv ★★★★ I ordered 01 Shawarma for my colleagues and I, honestly I was disappointed with what was delivered to us. We ordered for 3 different type price: N1950, N1800, and N1850. All we can see in the shawarma is cabbage and 1 hotdog, if you are out of protein you should have cancel the order instead of what you delivered to us. Very very bad. The picture N1850 own.

I had no option but to order that since I took an Uber cab from my hotel just to buy dinner. The food was just average. I won't be back.

    • Ayobamidele A. ★★★★ An instruction was given to the the attendant (no spice at all), but instead she served us raw spice, we ordered for 7 pieces and it was thrown in the trash. We went back to her to tell her that, she was instructed not to put spice but she replied and said ' I only added little spice'. The worst of it, is that, it was tasteless. Today is 2nd of Jan 2024 at 5.34p.

    • Edward J. ★★★★ I really didn't expect it to be good but it sure was. I would have ordered a second one... I'll suggest you offer larger sizes, the size tag on the menu is exaggerated (although the price is really fair for what you actually get). Your current largest size could be tagged as medium (maintain the price) and a larger size could be introduced with a higher price. This way, expectation would be better met. As for the taste, it really is excellent💯
    • Claireville ★★★★★ I honestly didn’t think this shawarma was going to be nice, but this was my first time trying it — and wow… I was so wrong! One bite in and I knew I had messed up by not ordering two from the start. I literally had to place another order immediately 😂 I searched for them all over social media just to get their contact, no luck. Then I finally found them on Google.

    • Jessica A. ★★★★ Their shawarma is the worst thing I'd ever eaten. I have diarrhea because of it. Their ingredients were not fresh, especially the sausage. The shop was so shady that it had no customers. I hope this shop gets closed down because their shawarma is so horrible. They use outdated ingredients, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I was also given a drink that was about to expire and had mold on the mouth. Stay away from this shop for your own good!!?

    • Debbie O. ★★★★ Wish there was a freaking zero star! I want to thank the good reviews are from friends and family. My first time there today and it would have been better I gave that 2k to a beggar! The worse sharwama I've ever had!!! I went in person and told them exactly how I wanted it but I guess that already have their useless pattern. Chicken was tasteless and unseasoned, not even salted. I said I wanted it extra spicy but there was hardly any spice in it. The inside was dry like ke powder, the couldn't have put more than a tablespoon of cream in it! Horrible Horrible Terrible! I should have followed my instincts, bcos I used to wonder why the place was always empty. I wonder how they're still in business tbvh. Never ever going anywhere near there 4 anything
