We popped in for a late lunch, the area is quiet. The cave decor makes the place a welcome respite from the super bright and hot street. The staff are polite and attentive. The food took about 15 mins to arrive but drinks came out quite quickly. The food is well done, I love that they don't automatically have pepper in their food (easy for those who don't eat pepper) but the food is well seasoned nonetheless. I would recommend for that special event and quiet intimate lunch or dinner.
I absolutely love this restaurant and creativity that comes with it!
The Interior
The cave-styled architectural design is nothing short of enchanting. It must have required a great deal of creativity to make a beautiful concept out of this, and they executed it perfectly. The setting gives you the delightful illusion of actually sitting inside a cave.
The Service
Right from the entrance, I was impressed. The security at the gate was so chivalrous- he opened the car door for me and closed it gently after we stepped out. Inside, the attendants, with a warm smile opened the door ajar to welcome us in.
Vivian was our beautiful waitress for the afternoon. She was smart, neat in appearance, well-spoken and articulate, as well as super attentive. She ensured we were comfortable throughout our stay and even offered to take our photographs before and during our dining experience.
The Food
For starters, we had calamari bites. Our main course included char grilled roasted chicken and "The Cave" (dirty rice). For dessert, we enjoyed apple blueberry cake and cheesecake. Every dish without any exception was absolutely delicious - rich in flavour and aesthetically presented.
The Environment
There was ample parking space for vehicle owners. This made arriving and settling in hassle-free.
Ambience & Music
I loved the hanging lanterns and the solemn, serene atmosphere. However, I did notice that the air conditioning wasn't quite sufficient for the size of the space - something the Management might wanna address. The choice of music could also be better; a more soulful R&B playlist would compliment the relaxed vibe of the restaurant perfectly.
Final Impression
It was my first time visiting a restaurant that requests guests to fill out a feedback form after their meal. I see this as a thoughtful gesture that shows they truly care about improving their service. It was overall a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to return!
I will say this was a perfect experience. This is probably one of the best restaurants you could visit in Abuja. Locating the place was very easy. The security at the entrance were very courteous and helpful. They helped with parking, even opened the door for me. The ambience inside was on point. It was so beautiful and cool. The music was not too loud, just perfect. The temperature was well regulated
The waiter was on his A-game.
The drinks were freshly made and came out really nicely.
The appetiser was really nice, although I will say I've had nice calamari.
The platter was perfect. I love the way it was served.
The dessert also did not disappoint.
As for the bill, I think it's fair, considering all that was put into this place. But if you are looking for somewhere cheap, this is not for you.
Overall, it was a lovely experience, worth repeating
visited Kappadocia Restaurant in Abuja recently, and while the experience was decent, it didn't quite stand out for me, The food wasn't bad and didn't offer anything particularly memorable, though it was adequately prepared. The service was fine, and the staff were polite, The ambiance was also okay-Overall, it's a decent option if you're in the area, but I wasn't blown away by the experience maybe because the restaurant is already old and needs the management to review the restaurant
Lovely date night out with boo at this cave restaurant. Atmosphere was lovely with good music. Staff courteous and food was tasty too. The hummus was especially nice. 🥰Over all nice experience.
