Customer Reviews

"My friend overhyped them, but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the food. The ambience was relaxing and warm, cool music, great aesthetics. Good location too, it's within the GRA. I might try them again because of the environment"

"First visit was great. The food tasted like home, lacking the formulaic flavors restaurant often offer, coupled with a cozy homey interior. …"

"The food here is fantastic. When next I'm in Abeokuta, I must visit. There were 9 of us that went to eat - no complaints whatsoever, everyone enjoyed their food. The service was very good, too."
