    • Seyi S. ★★★★★ Very nice place, located across the prestigious Transcorp Hilton hotel in Maitama. There is wide array of local and intercontinental dishes, pricey though. The waitresses/attendants were qell-mannered, willing to guide and assist. Food was delivered to our table. The ambience is good, homely with excellent view of surrounding road and structures. It is recommended as a choice eatery in Abuja
    • Neno.O ★★★★★ Foodies is my go-to restaurant for a quick bite. It perfectly blends fast food convenience with a proper, aesthetic dine-in experience. One thing that really stands out is their wide variety of rice dishes — from Chinese rice, jambalaya, pilaf, native rice, jollof, coconut rice, and more. Honestly, it’s the most variety of rice I’ve seen in one restaurant. The prices are very affordable, making it one of the best budget-friendly places to eat in Abuja. The restaurant is neat, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. A great spot for good food without breaking the bank.

    • esther O. ★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Northern Fusionin Wuse 2, and I was blown away by the authentic Northern cuisine and warm hospitality! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a cozy atmosphere that felt like a true taste of the North. The tuwo miyan kuka was absolutely delicious, with tender meats cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and bold, just like my neighbours in the north used to make! The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were attentive without being overbearing. If you're looking for a truly authentic Northern dining experience, look no further than Northern Fusion. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious dishes!❤
    • Bello T. ★★★★ I don't even understand what happened to this restaurant. You guys used to be great, the service the meal but now Y'all just trying to make more money with a bad service. I did more than 1Hr waiting for my takeout food and more than 40minutes for a tasteless food. I ordered for a coleslaw and they forget it. I had to even use yaji to eat the food. You guys need to work on the service. The guys taking the order are confused and the quality of the meals have changed. I am really disappointed spending 50k plus here

    • Oluwatosin A. ★★★★ Foodis very good. Ordered before getting there so the wait time wasn't long.
    • Chedda ★★★★ Fuschia is a gem. Tucked away in the vicinity of galaxy pizza and jevinik restaurant, smack-dab in their middle, this awesome place is a rare treat, a breath of fresh air in hospitality, and a place where the cuisine never disappoints. I was opportune to sample two dishes on the night I dined in fuschia. And I'll tell you, both were sumptuous meals, eaten in a cozy environment, with a beautiful ambience that draws you in. Service was prompt, friendly and engaging. The prices were unbelievably fair. Visit Fuschia if you are looking for a cozy place for 1st dates, dinner parties, whatever floats your boat.
