Victoria G.★★★★★ — Very good ambiance, Karaoke on thursday and Dj. The place is so crowded seats for 4 people are given to 10
Obianuju A.★★★★★ — I have to say, their customer service was one of the top notch things I enjoyed about the place.
The server was nice, polite and helpful. I went there for a bridal shower and they took group pictures and videos of us when we asked.
Every single thing was top notch. The chicken was amazing. The fried rice was not quite as amazing, but still good. It was a wonderful experience. I'd love to come again.
S.O.U.L A.★★★★★ — I had brunch with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon. It was nice and quiet and honestly, the food was good. We had pizza and wings....not bad at all. The waitress was nice but not very knowledgeable about the menu. I'm giving a low rating here because at the end of our date, believe it or not ladies and gentlemen, a RAT ran past the "platform" on the wall where our booth was. Take note, a rat, not a mouse. I mean those big ones you find outside... It was funny and absolutely ridiculous!! I had a good laugh cos I've never experienced such in my life. I left my friend there and she stayed back to order takeaway. She said she couldn't place her order as the rat came back and was running around the place. She complained to the staff. Because of the time of day, the place was empty.. The staff were nonchalant and told her their pizza machine had just gotten spoilt and they couldn't take her order. It felt like a "just come and be going with your wahala" situation.
At least we have a funny story to tell about that day. . Just ridiculous!!!
UdokaObis★★★★★ — Spur Restaurant is definitely number one when it comes to family restaurant, it’s kid friendly, spacious with play area to the kids can have fun sliding down and all. I hd pizza and milkshake, I will rate the chocolate milkshake a 7/10, I wish it had whipped cream. The strawberry Flavour wasn’t that enjoyable though
I went back a month later and tried the chicken supreme pizza, my goodness the-yummiest creamiest pizza I have ever had, simply delicious
Clement O.★★★★★ — Great food and fantastic taste.
The queue was long and took a little time before it gets to your turn. It's not a quick service restaurant. But the food gives you taste for value & quality.
Space constraints is a challenge during peak hours.
Queen V.★★★★★ — I stopped by Commint Buka in Lagos this morning for breakfast and had ewagoyin with kpomo. The visit was brief and straightforward, very much a “come, eat, and go” kind of experience, which seems to be the general vibe of the place.
The food itself was okay. The ewagoyin was filling and did the job for a morning meal, while the kpomo was reasonably prepared and complemented the beans well. It wasn’t outstanding or particularly memorable, but it was decent enough if you’re just looking for a quick local breakfast without too many expectations. Portion-wise, it felt fair for what was served.
What stood out more than the food was the service style. Since it was early in the day, I expected a bit more warmth or friendliness from the servers, especially that morning energy you sometimes get at bukas where greetings and small interactions make the experience more pleasant. Instead, the service felt strictly business-like. Orders were taken, food was served, and people ate and left. No unnecessary delays, but also no extra engagement.
Overall, Commint Buka feels like a place people visit purely for convenience. If you’re in a hurry, want to eat quickly, and move on with your day, it works just fine. However, if you’re looking for a more relaxed or welcoming breakfast experience, this might not fully meet that expectation. It’s practical, efficient, and functional—nothing more, nothing less.
Mojisola Y.★★★★★ — I love Jevenik, so my friend was telling me the maximum wait time for your order is 10 minutes and I didn't believe that. My order came out in 7 minutes, I am still amazed. I totally love the fast service and will definitely be back.
Bayo S.★★★★★ — Jevnik used to be my favourite place and it became a tradition for me to have my last dinner there before jetting out of Nigeria. However, my last experience was quite disappointing. I ordered for fisherman soup which has always been my favourite but what I got was way different from my previous experiences. I could literally taste the pepper and tomato's separately. You could see large chunks of tomatoes in the soup. To be honest, I couldn't digest it because a lot was off about it. I requested that I speak to a supervisor and I told him about my experience. In defence, he said thats how its cooked in all branches of Jevnik in Nigeria. We'll, I didn't expect much of a professional customer service from him as he didn't offer anything to compensate for my bitter experience. I didn't ask for it but I requested for bitter leaf soup (my second favourite) which I was happy to pay for and that was not even as good as I remembered. By now I was done and couldn't even finish the meal. Eventually when my bill came, there was a bottle of water that was added to it that I didn't request for nor served.
It was quite disappointing because this used to be my favourite family spot and we had good memories of farewell dinners together here. Unfortunately, this is going to be my last meal here as I have had better meals and customer service experience at other restaurants during my visit.
Shalom E★★★★★ — Great meals. I mean hands down foodgasm- inducing meals. The chef has my heart. Please keep whoever it is forever 😫
Really good service too from the staff.
Anna B.★★★★★ — Their staff will be looking at you standing without attending to you like you came to beg for food ,even when they still manage to answer you , they'd be giving rude attitude
Chidimma P.★★★★★ — Dear yumyum cafe team,
Do you use water at midnight? Can you please turn off the automachine at least at night? Can't I even have a good night rest after a stressful day? How many more time do I need to complain before that noise gets fixed? Its unfair generating noise both from gen, cooking instrument and now pumping machine morning till morning...
Esther E.★★★★★ — I always go there to enjoy my super chicken pie and ice-cream
Blessing D.★★★★★ — The yam was actually sweet and the service was easy and reliable with professional customer service also got more insightful lessons on how to preserve the yam.
David E.★★★★★ — Yam.ng is simply the best..........
Your services are top notch.
