I don’t normally even bother writing reviews if the food is bad but I genuinely have to write a review as I was sooo disappointed . The okra soup was not slimy at all , it looked like it was blended them poured into a bowl. The pounded yam was not good at all. The beef was soo hard , I honestly think it had been in the pot for too long and the meet tasted out of date. This is not me bashing you guys but please take this review as critism to improve . I’ve never been soo disappointed enough to write a review in my life considering the price of their food as well. However I will say that the lady was really lovely , I just think the food needs some improvement

Rice is soggy and moi moi tastes spongy like it’s been defrosted. Thats not the quality you expect after waiting 1hr30mins and forking out £17 A complete disappointment. First and last time.

For me, it is either ewedu or gbegiri. But I tried abula at Amala Buka today and think I will start considering it as an option in the future. Thank you 🙏🏾

Food is excellent, the service is even better! As someone relatively new to experiencing African food, I was unaware that pounded yam traditionally is paired with a soup (I had it with rice because it's filling after a gym session). Esther, the lovely lady who served me, said pounded yam is meant to be eaten with a soup and gave me a complimentary Okro dish to try, it was delicious! Amazing food & service, will definitely be back

This is the 2nd time we've ordered from this place in the last 3 months were there have been missing food items. Either they replace it with something else without calling to find out or the missing item is not there and 1st time round, it took over an hour for them to bring the missing item by which time the rest of the food was cold. Presentation wise they could do a lot better, the way my order arrived today, I was really put off and will not be ordering here again. Really disappointed especially for the price paid.

We were craving Abula (Amala, Gbegiri and ewedu) and were not disappointed with the food. it was on point, couldn't ask for more. Customer service was top class. Esther the attendant was friendly and supportive all through, even the chef came to speak with us to find out how we were getting on with the food, if there were any concerns whatsoever, thankfully not. You don't see chef coming out to check feedback, definitely not in an African restaurant. Good food all round and we even had to buy a takeaway for a friend, that was how much we enjoyed the food. We will definitely come back and will recommend it to friends.

This is my second time ordering the Abula. The first time wasn’t great, the stew/abula tasted weird (let’s not even go into the delivery). I only ordered again because I was given a discount code due to the negative experience. This time around the food tastes decent. However the delivery time was atrocious. I placed my order 4.40pm and the food arrived 6.30pm. I called the restaurant to find out what was causing the delay and was told it was due to issues with their driver etc. Either way I wasn’t pleased at all. If I didn’t call to query they wouldn’t have updated me on their end. There is room for improvement service wise & I look forward to a much better experience in the future.

I ordered Abula. The Amala was badly made with Koko (lumps filled with flour). I ordered assorted and got one beef with two pieces of bones. I called back to express my disappointment and was very kindly offered a replacement order when I returned. There was very little ewedu or gbegiri in our soup. It was mostly Stew. £15 per plate I don’t think is a fair pricing for what I experienced. A disappointing experience but I really hope things can improve for their own benefit.

If I could give a 0 or a negative I would. Unfortunately being a nigerian business, this one seems to follow the same.poorly managed path that the others do with such impunity. We placed an order right after speaking with a member of staff on the phone. She advised to order via uber eats and I placed the order within minutes. Had to drive about 25 minutes to pick up as there was no delivery available to our area. On getting to the restaurant my husband was told that the order had been cancelled because they are short staffed in such a casual manner as though it didn't matter. No one had the decency to contact us immediately after the order was received to let us know that they couldn't fulfil the order. It ls such a shame this extremely poor level of customer service and mode of running a business is what Naigerian businesses continue to offer. If you're short staffed then make sure all your sales channels clearly state this and don't lead the customer on/waste their time.

Ordered a take-away ABULA. The stew and gbegiri didn’t taste nice at all. Ordered assorted meat in the stew, I could count the tiny supposed meat being added to the stew; it wasn’t worth it at all The only good thing about the order was the Amala, which was well made and soft. AGAIN, I ordered peppersoup today online, after anticipating it’s delivery, my order got cancelled by the store for some weird reason. Just very disappointing! Overall, space is too small and not aesthetically pleasing- exactly why I had to take my order outright UPDATE!! I decided to give you another chance but this time, I had a worse experience. I ordered for a plate of peppersoup to be delivered. At first, you were on about being out of fish when you infact had it on your available menu. I do appreciate that you called to give me the update and then I decided to go with assorted goat meat peppersoup. Omg!!!! It was awful! The peppersoup was so salty that I couldn’t take any other spoon after the first. Can’t begin to express how disappointed that was and still feels like, omg

I personally wouldn’t order abula from here again, the soup was not nice and there was mostly cow food despite ordering assorted meat.
