    • Risto K. ★★★★★ Food was good, it came fast. Service was pleasant. Drinks were good and we could pay with an international card. The scenery was very nice - a pool with good music.
    • Temitope A. ★★★★★ I see why they call this place the OG . My experience was a 10/10 primaryly because of the family / kid friendliness. It was pretty easy to locate via Google Maps and we enjoyed every bit of our visit . I had brunch with my family and the ambience was nice , staff were courteous , it was truly money well spent . my kids had a swel time while my husband and I were eating . They kids play area is definitely an attraction and kept the kids entertained the whole time we were there . We had rice , taco’s, fruit juice and a strawberry milk shake . Total money spent was around 60,000 naira approximately. They definitely lived up to their hype and I’d definitely visit again .

    • Favour D. ★★★★ It has minimal park space, but good security, the environment is clean also the toilets well kept, it has wheelchair accessibility and also has the prices at the counter which makes it easy, you can order and pick up or delivered.
    • Sunny S. ★★★★ I am super surprised at what I see here. Last time I was here was 9 years ago and it was my favorite place to enjoy a meal. Now I’ve come in and took my time to search for them and got to the locked place eventually the functional one. The Customer service was zero. I got my sharwama which was my favorite and Lo size has dropped , the bread was super crusted and a million wraps . I was highly displeased. So much mayonnaise. She came to my table to call me to come back to the conter and pick the food I was to eat there!! I came with someone who was allergic to sausages and clearly told the the girl who’s sitting lazily and acting as a madam that we don’t want sausages. What do I see when the food comes, sausages. Their non-chalant attitude is at its peak. They paid no mind to my complaints. I fee highly displeased and whoever owns this business needs to fire these girls and find people who are passionate about where they work otherwise he or she is headed for destruction. I will never come back again.

    • Shammah V. ★★★★★ Once upon a time this was my fave sharwarma spot. The sharwarma here was banging but sadly not as great anymore. The ambience is pretty basic nothing extra ordinary. Wait times were short whenever I visited and the staff were friendly.

    • Andrew G. ★★★★★ I think this guy's are the best when it comes to Ahmad's shawarma They are fast , clean and very hospitable The best part is their shawarma It's juicy ,yummy and really it's just perfect. Got the combo for 4,500 naira and I didn't regret anything. The only bad thing is they don't have a place to seat , would be mind-blowing if they did I'll go back again and again .

    • Joy A. ★★★★★ I think the recipe doesn't work for me. The sauce was too spicy and not in a "hot spice" kind of way. It was spicy in a manner that overpowered every other ingredient. The spice was too dominant. Plus - Very juicy Generous with the chicken portions Large size for the amount. Overall, not for me but your taste buds may find it more enjoyable.
