Aver Restaurant, High Level Area

Restaurant

👍 The palm trees provide a much-welcomed shade from the heat. I would have given a 5-star for the atmosphere but for the smoke from the kitchen that disturbs. I love the goat meat and fresh juices. The people I go with love all the soups they eat there including the beniseed soup. I've also had Jellof... People often mention local, good, dishes, love, pounded, Makurdi, Good, soup, restaurant, nice,

    Aver is the place I visit when I want to enrichen my taste buds with the local delicacies Makurdi has to offer. They offer a fair variety of local dishes and sitting is in and outdoor. Service can be quite slow but if you are a regular, this shouldn't be a problem. I recommend going for the entire range of local soup which we nicknamed (the Piano) so you can decide your preference. The bush meat is an absolute banger.

    I was looking for a place to eat local Benue food, I was referred to this restaurant and I can tell you I enjoyed it and did experience Benue on my tongue here. Though the attendants were mostly locals with little or no trainings but they were really nice and courteous. I ate Beniseed soup with bush pig meat and pounded yam, then washed it down with extra cold beer. My day was made. I hope to visit again.

    I love this place because their food is very tasty and very affordable for the quality they give. They serve Benue state local dishes. They have an indoor and outdoor sitting. I love the outdoor sitting more because it feels like you are having lunch at your backyard, enough trees and fresh air.

    The location is good, with reasonable parking space and options to sit under the trees or inside the well ventilated building. There's also a VIP section if that's your thing. The food is great too, with options for different soups. You should expect to be served only "swallow" here, as that's their main dish. Oh, and you can have freshly squeezed juices too. Prices are good, but not everyone would say so, I guess.

    Awesome place , I love the outdoor place behind. But what I love most is how fast we get our pounded yam. And how there’s a lot of staff so I don’t have to wait all day

    It was a nice experience, great food. But slow service took a while to get a waiter attend to us. But may be it's because it was on a Sunday. However the atmosphere was calm and healthy

  • 4/5 Sev 6 years ago on Google
    If you are a lover of pounded yam and a variety of nigerian soups - tiv style, if you love your fresh fish or dry fish cooked to perfection, or you are thirty for some freshly squeezed fruit juice for your soul, then Aver is for you. I love to eat under the trees at the back of the main building, with the view of the kitchen and cooking going on... It's a very earthy homely eating experience that reminds us of why i love our culture in benue state.
