Very nice and satisfying food. They just need a bigger indoor space, it's uncomfortable if you're tall.
And staff should pay more attention to the service, waited long for my bill.
If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.
To start off they only have 4 tables inside the whole restaurant, the seating area is terrible also as you are so close to other tables. The AC did not even work so you can only imagine how warm it was whilst we waiting. The menu did not have half of the things shown & the waiter failed to mention this when we were placing our orders. The service was terribly slow, we waiting over an hour for our food to arrive. When the food came out, it came out without protein, the manager advised protein would follow in 20 minutes when the protein is clearly meant to be in the stew. The food finally came out after a whole hour of waiting:
The staff were quite dismissive, did not have clear knowledge of the menu or the drinks menu & all clearly overworked, sweating viciously.
The food was presented well however whilst eating it me and my friends quickly noticed there was an off smell, the meat was not properly cooked and the pounded yam was incredibly hard.
We told staff and left after paying our bill. Long story short we have all been on the toilet for HOURS. I would NOT recommend & save yourself the stomach pains. It’s so bad.
Amazing little gem of a eatery.. packs a punch with the food and its presentation, it's got both outdoor and air-conditioned indoor seating.
The taste they say is in the pudding, this tastes as good as it looks, including wooden bowl and cups for a total native aba fee. The waiters are traditionally attired to further complement the presentation,
The service was also very fast. Within 20 minutes of being seated, I was being served.
However, there are subtle shortcomings that's dropped a star and that the organisation needs to note. My food was not hot enough. I had to send it back for in to be warmed... which was promptly done.
I opted for Tiger nut drink and to my amazement, there drink, although Ile Iyan branded, but has no list of ingredient, I believe this is essential both for health and safety and for allergy checks. As could be seen in the pictures...it did not even indicate this was Tiger nut drink, except they told you so!
I will still visit next time I'm nearby and will update the review and rating.
My visit wasn't as expected, and I think it was overhyped. Here are my reasons:
1. It felt more like a takeout setting with not enough space to dine-in or sit and eat. The compound was used instead.
2. It took more than an hour to get our order served.
3. The pineapple drink we bought while waiting, despite costing 4k, was unpleasant and had a very bad aftertaste.
4. The water wasn't running in the convenience/toilet. They placed a bucket full of water, which wasn't nice. The restroom looked unpleasantly dirty.
5. There was an open soakaway not far from the kitchen, which is concerning. The overall hygiene was poor and below standard.
6. We had to wrestle with flies while eating.
Overall, the experience was quite disappointing.
