    The Amala was on point. Although they might want to work on making their customers more orderly. Would definitely recommend

    Wait time isnt as bad as other joints. Pepper sauce is amazing, food in general is very nice and affordible. I prefer taking out than eating there

    More like 2.5 star rating This branch is a shed by a visible heap of trash so that already got me concerned. Like most Amala joints this had a waiting queue albeit 3 queue management lines but i observed people who still choose to jump lines did and were served. Now on the food, i ate 1 amala ewedu and gbégìrì with 4 pieces of cow internal meat with 1 limca drink and all this cost me 1000 naira (meat is 200 naira per piece, amala 100 and drink another 100 naira. Verdict: the gbégìrì was sour, the amala was quite much and so also was the stew but i am not sure if it was because of the sourness of the stew or the quantity that didnt make me finish. Also its costlier than my favourite amala joint and the outsider environment as well as the queue management needs more attention.

    First the map stops at the block industry so you will have to move inwards in the direction of the block industry and you will fine the restaurant.

    Always on point as usual. My recent experience at Ojuelegba made me fall in love with Beans as a staple food. They seems to have more varieties of food made from beans. Portage beans, ewa Agonyin, beans and rice, beans and bread, moimoi, gbegiri(beans soup), etc...

    Their food taste keep changing poorly so I’m not impressed, their dispatch riders are thieves for those of you who do delivery. There is a certain delivery man by the name “ Garba Bitrus” who ran away with my money and has been ignoring my calls, I reported to their customer rep who handled the case poorly and kept on giving excuses till date. Overall they are not reliable in any way and they have a bad reputation for engaging in such. I’ll advice anyone not to patronize them! Shame!!

    Great overall experience. Crowd management was good although there were only about 5 people before me on the queue. I went there around past 12 noon on a Thursday. Plenty abula (gbegiri and ewedu) for the 3 wraps of Amala I bought. This is good. The Ponmo and shaki are soft, better than many other places in Abuja. While their meats are expensive (compared to others), they are able to complement this with their wraps of Amala which are bigger compared to all other Amala joints I have been to in Abuja. They also have other special drinks - zobo, kunu etc which I think are quite pricey.

    Went there to the place with my friends from Lagos. 1.The place was a hot mess, no AC and there was no cross ventilation 2.The servers were not coordinated, it took forever to get served, 3.the hype was not what I expected. 4. To crown it all the stew was tasteless, yes, the goat meat was soft and like the person who made the stew deliberately refused to season the meat. 5. The music begin played was way too loud. You had to shout to be heard while placing your orders. 6. You need to reposition your sign board. 7. I am definitely not going back tjere this was my first time of going there. I normally drive to Wuye from Gwarinpa. 8. Thanks for reassuring me that the long drive is not a waste of time.

    Good place for western Nigerian dishes laced with the traditional flavour. They also serve other Nigerian dishes too, but are mainly known for Amala, Ewedu, Eforiro, Ewagoin, Ofada rice and sauce, Moimoi (with leaves), etc. You can also get fresh fruit juice and tigernut drinks. Okay rates as akin to such dishes.
