    The food is very ok. Taste homely.. The service is fast and good. The price is also very ok. One thing this place is missing is the environment. The dining area needs to be upgraded. It's so dusty. Also the place is a bit hiding, you will not see it from the road. You need to walk down pass the block industry.

    The Jollof Rice is good. Good customer service, placing MY order was seamless. And the food is affordable. This is value for your money for a few South-Western delicacies.

    As a true Nigerian, if you visit Abuja and you're around here and you're looking for food, this is your place. You will find the great Nigerian food, Pounded Yam and Egusi. God bless our ancestors. It had nearly every food in the Nigerian home. You will definitely enjoy it.

    It was almost past lunch time and i have been craving Ojuelegba'a porridge Yam with Pepper sauce, so I did the needful by finding my way there.😁😁😁 So I didn't sit in to Dine in. I rather bought my meal in a takeout plate with a bottle of water and Fresh fruit juice. Unfortunately I was too hungry to take a picture when I got to the office. But I took few before I cleared my plate. And like always, the porridge was Yummy!!!🤩🤤🤤💞💞 You should try it whenever you are in Ojuelegba and thank me when you do😉.

    It was my first time at this place earlier today. I got there to meet a heated physical and verbal fight amongst the staff. What worried me even more was how much of their saliva was entering the meals they were serving the customers. There I was, waiting for the attendant to serve my plate while he was trying to settle a fight with my plate of food in his hands. I was highly unimpressed. The food itself is tasty but the customer service is appalling. The staff are too unprofessional!

    More like 2.5 star rating This branch is a shed by a visible heap of trash so that already got me concerned. Like most Amala joints this had a waiting queue albeit 3 queue management lines but i observed people who still choose to jump lines did and were served. Now on the food, i ate 1 amala ewedu and gbégìrì with 4 pieces of cow internal meat with 1 limca drink and all this cost me 1000 naira (meat is 200 naira per piece, amala 100 and drink another 100 naira. Verdict: the gbégìrì was sour, the amala was quite much and so also was the stew but i am not sure if it was because of the sourness of the stew or the quantity that didnt make me finish. Also its costlier than my favourite amala joint and the outsider environment as well as the queue management needs more attention.

    The restaurant has deployed a local food setting with a touch of modernity. I liked the Ankara designs and the wall artworks. They looking old and the colours are fading though but the idea is cool. The walls Could use some painting. The food is well prepared and scrumptious. Not expensive.

  • 2/5 Mirrelle Dasilva A. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't like the service at their Garki branch. The servers behave like they are dashing you free food and it rubbish to me really. I informed their management and they called to apologize. Apology is nothing without good staff training/orientation.

  • 2/5 Ojorshimite O. 2 years ago on Google
    For A food spot,The location should be easily accessible and not inside the street. I had Egusi soup with semo and Turkey it was not all that nice because the palm oil in the soup was excess. Enough to make another kind of soup.

  • 1/5 Dkeons concept online money N. 2 years ago on Google
    Am highly disappointed at the poor customer service and take out delivery. I ordered food since 12:30 in the afternoon and this is past 6 I've not seen the food and the customer care center am calling has finally switched off his phone. Its so unfortunate that I needed to eat to take my medication. You sure have lost a customer today and I will make sure all in my niche eats else where.

  • 5/5 Ibrahim A. 1 year ago on Google

    Editing my 5 star review. Since after the lockdown, their food quality and quantity and greatly reduced. I'd rather they increased price and retain the quality

  • 3/5 Awosola Olakunle k. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place to eat but something needs to be done about the people jumping the queue... First come, first serve basis should be followed and the road is really not encouraging

  • 4/5 Ogadi A. Umeh (. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice pace to go and eat. The rate is also quite affordable. You can also watch Iive match there, as well as other drinks. Cool.

  • 2/5 Ladidi K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is nothing like before. The last time I went there? Rice was as cold as dog’s nose the meat was super cold and this was December. I couldn’t eat the meat it felt like I was eating straight from the fridge? I’ll rather drive to the garki’s branch their food is better. Gwarinpa own is total disaster

  • 5/5 Emmanuel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is top notch. I can't over emphasize on the amala. You have to give this place a try for a quick bite of come good food. Weak people come to a place like this and eat rice.

  • 2/5 Daniel E. 11 months ago on Google
    Attendants talk alot and do not cover thier mouths while serving. Few attendants and no order or queue to guide a first come first served customer. Overall making it unpleasant experience

  • 2/5 Marquis F. 7 months ago on Google • 12 reviews

  • 5/5 ADABz R. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is really good. I go there once a week to enjoy their Amala. But their costumer service is on the average
