    Time management needs improvement as there are more customers in the queue waiting for their orders. The restaurant requires additional staff to complete tasks on time and save customers time.

    Nok is complicated. Settings are very nice, clean and classy. Service is ok. But food, gosh, what a disappointment! Their Nok Chapman was good, well balanced fruit savour, not too sugary. The avocado salad was good as well but nothing like woww. Then it started to deteriorate. The duck starter with mango sauce was disappointing. Just a meat pie. The duck is shredded and overcooked, no real seasoning. It doesn't taste anymore duck but overcooked meat. It could be beef or anything. 27000 naira for meat pie: nope ! Then the oxtail... What should I say... Basically rice and stew. Buy oxtail, cook it slowly for 1-2 h then add in an ordinary oily nigerian stew. And serve with sticky "jasmine rice". DISAPPOINTING ! I was expecting a grande cuisine experience of inventive african cuisine. Instead, I fell in an expensive street buka. Avoid.

    A pretty space. The food is great and the service is amazing. Recommend for a cozy date (can be crowded) or a solo date

    Very interesting touch on local recipes. Atmosphere is amazing, especially with that neighbour boutique store. You can find something to eat for everyone - there is choice of meat, fish, vegs, drinks of all sorts. Recommend to go with a big company, and enjoy the candlelit evening

    Food was really tasty and spicy. Beef was a little under seasoned but the stew was really nice
