I want to be very honest. We were genuinely looking forward to visiting this place as our first restaurant of 2026. The ambiance is wonderful, and I can easily believe it must have been a very good restaurant five years ago, based on the positive reviews we had read. The setting is attractive—with a cool rooftop, pleasant open‑air space, and private rooms that seem perfect for fine dining with friends and loved ones.
Unfortunately, the dining experience was deeply disappointing.
We waited more than one hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was terrible. The tom yam kung was just a thin, spicy tomato soup with generic frozen seafood. The so‑called Japanese cucumber salad had absolutely nothing Japanese about it—it should honestly be called Abuja cucumber salad. The satay, which should come with peanut sauce, was served with mayonnaise and ketchup. The “teriyaki beef” bore no relation to teriyaki in either flavor or preparation. The sushi was, regrettably, the worst of all—it tasted like a cheap paint.
When my friend asked the waitress what the restaurant’s specialty was, the answer was: “Everything.” That alone explained the problem. A restaurant that does everything well is rare; a restaurant that specializes in nothing usually does nothing well.
I would like to offer some constructive advice. Please focus on what you are genuinely good at. If you can prepare excellent Nigerian food—pepper soup, simple grilled dishes, or even just well‑made french fries—serve them with ice‑cold beer and drink. You already have a great atmosphere, and with skilled DJ you can hire, this place could easily be packed every weekend as a bar or lounge.
However, expanding the menu to include exotic international cuisines comes with responsibility—the responsibility to do them properly. At this moment, that responsibility is not being met at all. Given the prices charged, we expected a well‑prepared, satisfying meal. What we experienced was interesting, but far from acceptable.
We will not be returning, nor will we recommend this restaurant to our friends. One final piece of advice to future guests: do not order the sushi.
Their service was really slow. The food was average. Had to tell them to make a little more spicy even though I had mentioned that from the start. It has a nice rooftop view.
This one of my favourite restaurants in Abuja. The ambience is good, the view from the rooftop is great, customer service is commendable and the food taste nice. They have a bar and an open sitting arrangement that makes fresh natural air appreciable. Also they have shisha that can be enjoyed without discomforting other customers.
A very beautiful rooftop restaurant and bar. Good for hangouts with friends, company dinners, romantic dates and the food is divine. Plus excellent customer service. Took these pictures at a company's end of the year dinner
I had great expectations going here but these expectations where not met. Meal was just 5/10, same with ambience. Also, couldn't understand why I was billed to pay far more than the cost which was quoted on the food and drink menu excluding VAT and service charge. I don't think I would be here ever again.
