Customer Reviews

"What an incredible experience! We visited Afefeyeye as a group of 10, traveling from different parts of the world – Germany, Romania, the U.S., Portugal – and were welcomed with such warmth …"

"I had a great experience eating here. The staff were really nice and the food tasted great and filling. It's a nice place to visit with friends, family or even go on a date. You even have an option of your order being brought to you at their cinema located in the same building, that's if you choose to see a movie."
