The location is amazing. The food is awesome. The customer service is excellent. I am happy to give even more than five stars but can only give five as defaulted by the system. I am happy to recommend this place. In fact, a visit will convince you as words alone cannot convey my experience.

One of the best places to eat freshly prepared Nigerian delicacies in Manchester. Customer service is evolving as I think some of the waitresses would benefit from some more training.Food is 10/10 for me though.

I am very disappointment with the service I received recently. I had been looking forward to trying your Nigerian cuisine for the first time and decided to place an order for delivery. However, my experience was far from satisfactory. Despite calling multiple times, I was repeatedly told that someone would ask the driver and get back to me. Unfortunately, I never received a follow-up call or text message. This lack of communication and service is highly disappointing. I was eager to experience your food, but this situation has left me frustrated and dissatisfied. I hope you take this feedback seriously and work on improving your customer service to prevent such issues in the future.

This was my first point of call when I searched Nigerian restaurants near me. I checked the reviews, and the comments were favourable. I enjoyed the abula and the assorted meats. The service was good, I can't complain much. The atmosphere needs to improve as so much loud music we're being played. African restaurants or Nigerian restaurants need to think international. Their patronage should not be limited to Nigerians or Africans alone but should cut across all races.

The Amala tastes really good alongside the Ewedu and Gbegiri accompanied by ogunfe(goat meat) Shaki(tripe) and beef☺️. My family had pounded yam and egusi, Jollof rice and beef which they said was all nice.

Great food, excellent customer service. By far the best place for Nigerian meals in England, the Amala makes so much sense, I’d rate it above every other I’ve tried in the Uk, and even better than some ones you have in Lagos. I just can’t miss this place whenever I’m in Manchester 👍

Much needed revamping ongoing as at the last time I was there. Moderately priced food with large portion (for me though😁). Food is also tasty and warm whenever I or my guests have been served. Good customer relation or service, my only reservation is the level of noise some guests make (in addition to the already blaring music). Still one of my go-to African restaurants in Manchester 😊

The staff are polite and welcoming. The food is excellent with varieties of different soups and dishes. I wouldn't hesitant to return to the restaurant. However, it is common of a number of Nigerian restaurants not to have a physical presentation. Please, it only cost a little bit of your investment in your business venture and the restaurant could attract more customers. #TidyUpNigeria

Food was nice but the portion was so small compared to the price I paid for my main (£25) one side is not enough for a steak. It should've been minimum of 2. The pepper sauce was so good it's a shame it's only about 25ml. To me, it's only worth eating at this place just once.

Really mid and overpriced but i guess I've had worse. Atmosphere was best part since it kind of had a nice cabaret vibe almost. Seats weren't great though. Service was fine, very stern but i don't mind that much i guess. In terms of food, eh, again it's pretty eh. I had salmon don and it was ok but not excellent. Needs more sauce. Wasabi was pretty good. Also, sake is supposed to be luke warm. It was room temp. Very overpriced for what it is and I'd rather get a kebab for the money.
