3 months agoTime 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.

a month agoNok 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.

7 months agoNOK by Alara ateeeeee 👏👏👏👏 Lovely ambience, aesthetically pleasing and brilliant use of colors💯 The use of plants to enrich the environment creates a stunning first impression, making the surroundings feel inviting and beautiful right away. I love that the colorful umbrellas provides perfect shelter from the sun while adding a touch of style to the space. The Space offers the option of indoor and outdoor eating. It's easy to locate and there is free parking space. Came here for the Abula (Amala, Gbegiri and Ewedu) and Nok did not disappoint 👏👏👏💯💯💯 I'll def be back soon as l've not been able to get the deliciousness of the food out of my mind The assorted meat were properly cook and soft, no struggle at all. I had the Extracted tea and i love the thoughtfulness behind it because it contains fruits and herbs to help cleans the immune system. The Tea pot is so cute 🍵🫖 Chefs and staffs were awesome and the service was very professional.
