Food is great but the queue can be rather tooooo much. The eating environment needs an upgrade, I believe the owner can do better with the aesthetics of the place. Price is affordable too.

Whats the frenzy about? Nothing special and the food is ridiculously expensive. And those servers who are just rude even at hello? I wonder how that business has thrived

It was a Sweet Experience with Amala I ate in this place, it is second to None. Love to be there again and again.

Are you an ardent, addicted, dedicated and traditional Amala fan? Or are you looking for where you can eat homemade, locally-made, healthy and hygienic Amala spot? Or youre looking for an Amala joint to taste it for the first time? then look no further because this is the best place in the Capital City of Abuja. What i like the most is the point-and-chop delicacies and orishirishi, large parking space, serene environment, secured and their food is always freshly made. Kindly do yourself a favour and try the spot. You wont regret it.

Best Nigerian meal has alot of customer traffic though but worth the wait...❤

Nice Amaala spot. They need to upgrade and start using POS machines. Their cash only can be stressful.

The mother of Amala joints (Im for the Pounded Yam though). Variety of soups and meats. GO WITH YOUR CASH. Its like the Village, no POS or transfers option available. Fair hand-wash, ventilation (fans) and parking arrangements.

Service is fast, food taste is consistent with the traditional idea of Yoruba cuisine. Pricing is rather affordable (this is relative though). The ambience is like that of a bukka so you have an idea what to expect hygiene wise. In general, the experience I would say is not bad.

Food is quite good but the environment just needs a little upgrade

Food to your satisfaction... Well ventilated arena

Their specialty is Amala as the name entails and their ewedu and gbegiri is superb

Mouth watering meals. Famous for the local Yoruba dish of Ewedu and amala. One of the popular eating spots in Abuja city. Price of meal is very pocket friendly but get ready to stand in queue to make your orders

There are about 100 seats n about 50 vehicles car park. Top notch

One of the best places for amala in Abuja. They just need to upgrade to allow delivery and mobile payment.

Adequate parking space, food is okay, BUT:-only cash payments taken-servers look tired & talk disinterested-amala is TINY! Attached are photos and you need to see them! 🤦 (For better quantity for your money, others are easily a better choice)-do not go at peak times; if we had to wait at all, it wouldnt have been at all worth it.Good luck to all who choose to brave this place.

If you are looking for a local (not upgraded) good amala spot then this is your place. Hold your cash as not to get disappointed as they don’t accept bank transfers nor POS payments. I just wonder why she still uses the stainless aluminum plates.

Very nice place, the Amala was very delicious

Large hall with a buffet kind of service. Delicious food of various kinds. Simply delicious

3 stars simply because they do not use pos machines and so not accept cash transfers.only CASH.The food portions are so small and not affordable.The meat is like cubes of maggi but the food sweet I no go lie.

It would be nice if the road in can be paved/tarred. The canteen itself is a normal Nigerian buka arrangement, neat and decent service.Cash only accepted, POS and money transfer services not available.

I used to avoid this place before.But then the Amala place increased price and cooked tasteless food, so I went here.This womans gbegiri and ewedu is still the best in this Abuja (please let me know if you have anyone that is better, Ill go).Her price is fairHer girls are no longer rude.My issue though is the queue, and the fact that she doesnt accept card payments. I hope she finds a way to sort those out.

This is a very good place for Yoruba food, I was happy to eat my local dish even from my own people after a long while

Dem say hunger no get respect for anyone abi...Yeah, here you will line up with a bowl to collect your food. Yes.And the food is great...

Their dish is DELICIOUS

It was a nice open place with a wonderful well prepared local meal

Always a pleasure to dig into the Àmàlà and Gbegiri.Affordable and delicious. I say the best Àmàlà in Abuja

Its a must visit for those that enjoy local cuisine. Their Amala is very delicious and affordable.

As always. A very local place with great indigenous Yoruba food. Its especially known for Amala with Gbegiri and Ewedu soups. However you can still get other meals like white rice and honey beans, pounded yam also. Please not they only accept cash payments. No transfer or POS transactions are allowed. They also dont do delivery.

I visit here for Amala purpose. Very Poor customer service

Had a taste of Amala here for the first time and i was wowed....to my surprise, it was so cheap

Prepare for a long queue. Also it’s a cash only place. No POS no transfers. There are also no waiters. That being said, if you’re an Amala connoisseur like me, you will agree that Iya Oyo has the most authentic Abula taste in the whole of Abuja. There’s this taste the soup has which is missing in all of the other Amala places in Abuja. I call it the original down south taste. Not too expensive but the Amala portions are quite small so you might need to double or triple up. But for the cash only situation, this food deserves a 5 star review. It was really yummy! I highly recommend.

Popular amala spot in Abuja. You can have local dishes here also. Rice , etc but well know for the native Yam Powder meal called Amala a yoruba native meal made from powdered form of dried yam tubers . With Gbegiri ( bean soup) , awedu and all sort of assorted meat and fish.

Great place to eat in abuja at very affordable prices.

Great Amala and very clean environment... Ill do it again and again

The food is awesome and quite cheap, had the amala and had to go back for more...they need to have more varieties though like pounded yam and soup options...also the staff can be a little more courteous

Food is great but waiting time is minimum of 25 minutes standing up in a queue to get to serving point during peak hours.However, the meal is worth waiting b3cause it is real value for money

Great place to eat local food Amala and gbegiri

Delicious meals.Just perplexed that they have a no cash no transfer policy.There is currently no in-sitting allowed now.So it just buy and go.

The crowd here na die!! But its worth the wait cos @ the end their food is simply delicious.

If you like the name of this place then you wont be disappointed.

Just Another Amala joint, The food definitely tastes good

We started with this restaurant (previos venue) about 9years ago, we are still rocking it.

Local delicacies, but long queues all day long. Best Yoruba soups in abuja city center.

I really dont know how to describe this place but I can say its a home away from home kitchen..nice meal... enough parking space.

A taste of Oyo State quality amala in a bowl. They offer the best amala in Abuja but the size is so small. Mouth watering meals. Uninterested and impolite staff. As for the spot itself, it is just your average big amala joint with plastic chairs and tables. Usually very busy during rush hours.Also, this location doesnt allow for POS or bank transfers, all transactions must be done by cash.

Its a typical local joint, with all the prominent delicacies of the yorubas: amala, pounded yam, eba with ewedu soup , vegetable soup, okro soup combined with all sorts of assorted meat 🥩, rice and beans is also been sold. The surrounding accommodates a good number of cars albeit untarred. Its important to note P.O.S, transfer and other types of mobile money isnt acceptable. All transactions are made in cash!.Happy eating 🍲 fellas 😁

I love how neat and organised the place is. It was my first of many times to go back there. Definitely one of the best native food in the city of Abuja. I enjoyed the tasty and sizzling spicy of the soup.

A West African (Yoruba) cuisine spot in the heart of Abuja that caters to your nutritional needs at a pocket-friendly price.

Nice food 😋 but I suffer before I can eat

Iya Oyo Amala ⁣⁣•⁣⁣Saturday afternoons are for amala! ⁣⁣⁣⁣Iya Oyo is one place NO one should sleep on, with a thousand naira or less you will be full. It’s a bukka known for its delicious amala, gbegiri and ewedu delicacy (rice and stew with beans or plantain is also available here). ⁣⁣⁣⁣On entering the building you’ll have to queue for your meal (irrespective of status), point to specific protein you’ll want to have with your meal, then pay for your meal. There’s ample sitting space (you can also eat out).⁣⁣⁣⁣What I ate - ⁣⁣3 wraps of Amala - 300⁣⁣2 pieces of meat - 200⁣⁣1 Pomo - 100⁣⁣1 fish - 200⁣⁣1 bottle of Fanta - 100⁣⁣Total - ₦900⁣⁣⁣⁣After my meal I couldn’t move 😂 I was happy and fulfilled. If you pay a visit to Iya Oyo between 12pm - 2pm be prepared to meet a long queue (peak period), it’s worth the wait tho. ⁣⁣

Its a very traditional and typical yoruba amala joint

Best Yoruba dishes u can ever get 😋

Premium amala. Best I’ve had in Abuja. Local buka setting

Very tasty food. Especially the rice. Definitely returning.

TheirbAmala is the cheapest in town compared to other popular Amala vendors.However their Assorted is harder unlike other outlets that have softer pomo, shaki and others combos

Hot Amala just the way you will love it!!!

Local food kitchen. Their prices are fair.Dishes served are mainly Amala pounded yam, rice and beans ☺️.

Amazing local dishes. Best Amala plug in Abuja. Strictly cash transactions though. POS and bank transfers are not acceptable. The queues can be really long too

Of all the amala places Ive been to on abuja, its the most affordable with appropriately rated amala, I was shocked by the line at the restaurant, and it didnt reduce till I left, Im assuming I went at peak hour, they do not take transfer or have POS, I didnt notice restroom facilities on site. Its a good place for the buka feel.

Great. Even though I forgot my change

Tantalising array of traditional delicacies.

Nice environment, the food is quite tasty.

Affordable food. They dont accept transfer and dont have pos. Be sure to hold your cash

Fabulous. They no longer sell with POS or transfer. No longer do delivery

Best amala spot 😌💯

Food is quite good but the queue to get the food is too long and tiring, seeing the queue can be quite discouraging.

Nice but you have to line up all the time

My best amala joint

Best Amala spot in wuye, the only problem is you have to queue up.

Good food, great ambience, excellent customer service. You will be glad you ate here. Quite hygienic too. If you love amala, this is your go to spot. Trust me.

The sight of the procedure of getting food was startling n amusing. You have to follow a long flowing cue n the number of patronage was surprising. Na correct traditional zanga, just bear with the staff n processes! Chop n go

The Spot is nice, easy to locate.. just put the address on your bolt ride or Google map.The amala is nice.Just that they dont have POS, its cash only

Its indeed an avalanche of native flavour in the city.

The place is known for its local flavors in their food, most especially in their signature meal which is Amala and ewedu, its one of the oldest spot to get good local meal in abuja Nigeriascapital. And its for both singles, friends and the whole family.

Nice food but dont are too analogue in operation, they dont accept transfer and no POS

Good but limited food menu... youll need to pay cash and theres no POS available.

Still very nice. Although my friends dont like the idea of holding plates in order to get served

Delicious Yoruba meals....a leveller.

So the thing about Yoruba Amala joints is that they dislike change. They stick to their roots. Cash only, Owo, Kudi. Money for hand, food for table.°No transfer option°No Pos option°No internet banking option.°No jumia food option°No 2/3 outletIts disheartening sometimes when you think about it but sadly thats their business model and it has been working so, If it works for them. All the best.We are in the 21st century, yet this business has refused to upgrade. But one thing that is constant and consistent is the fact the food is delicious and tasty. Gaddddam!!!!!!! We will join the Que lets Go!

The place looks cool but use of P.O.S, direct transfer and home delivery is not possible. Very good parking lot.

Nice Amala joint with hot rice.. goat meat available. Fresh from fire!

Great food. I hate the fact they don’t accept POS payments and mobile transfers.

I enjoyed the amala here with gbegiri and ewedu soup so delicious, the food is very nice only that the crowd is much, you have to be on a long queue for this food. Their food is affordable for the common man, try them.

Food was great as usual... be ready for a long queue. Cash only policy (then have a bank bring an atm into the compound).

Nice delicacies and friendly service providers

Orderly and not expensive food.

One thing here is that there food is very affordable and delicious..

I absolutely love the meal. This is the best amala joint in Abuja. If there is more than 5 stars to be given, Ill give them. Affordable meal with delicious food. For the first time, I enjoyed eating amala in Abuja. I recommend this place to anyone who is a lover of amala like me

Premium Amala is sold here.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sumptuous amala meal! Quite on point. Adequate parking at the time of visit. I think more could be done about the ambience though.

A decent place to visit for local delicacy

They serve sumptuous and delicious delicacies

Nice home foods that you can eat.

Nice and delicious. Just the servers need to be more respective of customer demands. You cant be dishing soup as if we dont need it to eat the Amala and Rice. Pls they should improve.

A great place to visit if you are home sick. They bring back mamas pot

Good place to get good amala on a hot afternoon.

The food is amazingly good

Amazing Gbejiri, service isn’t so fast. No Pos no transfers( so always come with cash)

Nice restaurant with affordable prices. Cafeteria type sitting arrangement, not so fantastic decor, in fact no decor at all, the main intent of the owners of this restaurant is to feed hungry customers. Food is delicious and a good place to stop for lunch. Downside is the no transfer and no POS policy at this time and age, thats surprising.

Delicious local food and a laid back environment. Whats not to like?
