Had the worst experience at this restaurant.
1. I ordered efo riro, and was served overcooked-microwave warmed soup.
2. I ordered Fried fish only to be served boiled fish.
3. I ordered Semo, only for me to check the bill on my way home and discovered I was charged for pounded yam, which is more expensive than semo.
4. The restaurant is short-staffed, and trust me, they will not attend to you until you start chasing them up and down.
The ambience is great, and the security guards at the gate are so helpful and know their job.
But you see those staff inside....
I had a quick lunch with my family at 805 sometime last year and it was, overall, a great experience.
I ordered the Coconut Rice and Oxtail (it also came with a sauce). The rice was very very good; it wasn’t soggy, the coconut taste was very present, tbh, for me, the rice didn’t really need the sauce (that accompanied the Oxtail) - it was that good. I also loved the Oxtail, it was soft and tender and boneless (for the most part). The sauce was good but it needed a bit more flavor and the veggies were overcooked (a bit).
I tasted that Oha Soup and it slapped! Sheesh, that thing was beautiful! It also had ponmo scattered around 🤤
The fries, plantain and Chapman were regular. Nothing special but not bad at all!
The service was great (the waiter was very polite and helpful - this should always be the case but 🤷🏾♂️), the wait time was about 30 minutes, and the portions are relatively plentiful.
Can’t remember all the prices but I know the Coconut Rice and Oxtail was about 6000.
I like the atmosphere, the cool music in the background and of course I enjoyed the meal. I ate Afang soup served with cat fish (my protein choice) and my partner had the Eforiro and pounded yam. The meals tasted good and they have different protein choices so your meal can be prepared to your taste. We had the Chapman and we were also served complimentary puffs.
This is my personal favourite for basic Naija food like swallow and rice, because the place is clean, the food is tasty and the presentation of the food is always top notch. The ambience is good, they have a bar so beer and wine is assured. Their customer service is good but not consistent. They usually serve complimentary puff puff especially for customers ordering rice menu. It made provision for wheelchair accessibility. They have a toilet. You can even make payment via Fund transfer in addition to POS and cash means of payment.
Whoever is the owner of this establishment i want him to know that his staff are fleecing him/her terribly. And the manager is most likely in on it. I'm a restuarateur so I know what I'm saying. I just wasnt happy at all for you.
