Customer Reviews

"Lovely experience except that the food selections are limited. Imagine going to a Nigerian Buffet and Smoky Jollof rice or whatsoever Jollof at all is not available. Apart from that, the staff are friendly and the was is always delicious."

"I am not very happy with my experience at this restaurant, we were a group of 6 people for the Sunday dinner buffet on the 6th of July 2025 . After paying about 40k per person for dinner, we didn't get proper service or our money's worth. …"
