    • Francisca ★★★★ Zaza was a vibe! The dance show was fun,the platter was so good especially the steak and chicken wings. The bathroom was aesthetic and cute. I enjoyed the music and company,we were a group of 7. I would recommend you book,we booked before going and we were taken straight to our table when we got there as it gets pretty busy weekends. There is a minimum spend which would be given by Zaza when you book.

    • ServiceCritic ★★★★★ They don’t allow women who come on their own access the property because they have the wrong impression about women. They think every woman is they to hunt for a man. The bouncers treat and speak to women who come alone, this is really sad. So as a woman I can’t go to the vibe alone to have fun?. I had a platter one time and it was scrumptious.

    • Johnson E. ★★★★★ The restuarant has a very nice ambience. Different meals are served. From breakfast to main meals to desserts and snacks. There is also kids menu to choose from. Food was great and very filling. Nice customer service. Our attendant Mary was very lovely. Enough parking space. If you are like me who doesnt have an adventurous taste buds, just stick to what you are familiar with lol. I had the 'grilled fish' and chips and honestly I didnt enjoy the fish because it didnt taste like what I am used to lol so maybe another thing to do is ask the waiters questions but luckily the sauce from my starter was a great help to eat it. Other than that, it was a good experience.

    • Isabella O. ★★★★★ The space was filled at the main restaurant and had to move us to their lounge; Prive which I wasn't too sad about. The food came late and I was a little frustrated. Ordered the Cajun Seared Barracuda and it was perfectly done, toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. I did not find a single bone in the fish, which was impressive. Absolutely delicious. 9/10 I initially wanted mashed potatoes as my side, but since it was not available, I opted for jollof rice and honestly I am glad I did. This was hands down the best basmati jollof I have ever had. Smoky, firewood flavoured, not overly peppery and incredibly tasty. 11/10 My sister had the Ofada, which was delicious and generously loaded with proteins. However, it would have been even better with Ayamase sauce. 7/10 Our waiter David was very understanding and offered excellent service, which made the experience even more enjoyable. For drinks, the mojito was a standout. The lemon and mint hit perfectly. It was refreshing, balanced and very well made. 10/10 The strawberry daiquiri was nice but nothing particularly special. 7/10 Dessert was the chocolate mocha cake. The cake itself was warm, soft and delicious, and the chocolate syrup was really good. Unfortunately, the ice cream had melted by the time it arrived and was more foam than ice cream, which took away from the experience. 6/10 The yam fries were toast outside and soft inside. The tomato sauce was delicious 7/10 Cannot end the review without talking about the dj at the Prive lounge! He was so good and made us dance in our seats. Overall, I will definitely be coming back, mainly for that jollof and the mojito alone. They should hold their chef well! They are doing a good job.
    • Rachael A. ★★★★★ Food was 10/10 and the atmosphere is amazing. Love the free fries we got. The mocktail was so amazing. I went for a second and the jollof!!!! Standing ovation pls. Food is expensive though

    • Eni J ★★★★★ Saw this place on TikTok and decided to check it out cause we wanted good food at 2am. First of all, we had to wait 20 mins to be seated because we were told that all the seats were taken. When they finally sat us down we noticed that there was actually a lot of spare seats so I didn’t understand the wait. Then they said that the chairs we were sitting in was for bottle service only. We found this funny because there were other people eating around us and there was no bottle in sight but they later allowed us to continue sitting where they asked us to sit. We ordered the lamb rolls that came cold after waiting 35 minutes, we asked them to heat it up . Because they didn’t fry it, the lamb rolls were soggy and ultimately a waste of money. We then had to wait another 40 mins for the oxtail and asun lasagna which was also a disappointment…the special fried rice was okay. If you want to check this place out to tick it off your bucket list, then fair enough. But everything is easily overpriced considering the food wasn’t sweet at all. We spent over three hours here due to waiting and spent 250k for nonsense including cocktails and shisha. Can’t really recommend this place, another paid influencer spot in my opinion.

    • veronica H. ★★★★★ First, I'll say the good things: The food is good. We ordered two hamburgers, and they were quite good. The shawarma, although it's just sausage, was also good. Now then... the place is beautiful, it has a lot of potential, the views are gorgeous, and it's a pleasant spot. But from the moment we walked in, the waiters' attitude was terrible. They seemed unmotivated, all sitting around doing their own thing and wandering about. The waitress didn't even know what dishes were on the menu or what they had. It took them over 40 minutes to serve the two hamburgers and the two shawarmas. They brought two more hamburgers and a shawarma, and the next one took almost an hour. We were the only ones in the restaurant; there were no other customers. They brought our drinks as soon as we sat down. When we ate, the drinks were warm. The menu that appears online isn't the restaurant's menu, and the one in the establishment only has a few things. For example, they have several types of pasta, but they only have the one with tomato sauce. They don't have sandwiches. It was swarming with flies and everything was covered in dust. In short, I don't recommend this place for eating. Maybe it's a good place for parties, I don't know, but NOT FOR EATING.
