Went for a meal with friends. The food would have been rated highly but for the fact that it wasnt hot enough. The ambience on the ground floor was rather uncomfortable and noisy. The soft music in the air was drowned by the noise of a faulty air expeller.Parking space is hardly enough and restaurant entrance not wheelchair friendly; restroom located on first floor.

Good restaurant service. The attendants are nice, respectful and fast to serve customers despite the rush. They have varieties of meal both continental dishes and local meal. And to tell you, their food is so good and relatively affordable. For lovers of parfait, they serve a very good one....its so rich. Well how much can I possibly write here. You should visit any of their outlets because the taste of the pudding is in the eating.

The place is a decent restaurant with good ambience, the restaurant ensures safety measures.The menu display is nice, all kinds of dishes are available in one section, while pastries with ice cream are on the other side. You can choose to go to the next floor which is more spacious if you dont like the ground floor.Customer service is nice, lots of staff on the ground to attend to customers.The prices are fair enough and pocket-friendly.It is a nice place to visit.

Their foods were eye-catching. Smells and tastes delicious. Decent eat-in environment. They have both eat-in and take-out options. The customer service is good but somewhat slow-moving line. I can sometimes understand and excuse that.The food is served fresh. They are set-up like Subway restaurant.There was no menu or price list of any kind. So, u point to what u want to buy and eat. You pay with cash. I was not aware of any other means of payment. In my own opinion, their prices are quite high. I guess the prevailing socio-economic and political situation in Nigeria has made it so.Overall, I will rate them 3.5 over 5.00.

Delicious meals and top-notch customer service. I love the stir fry spaghetti and fried curry chicken in particular. Would visit again.But they have few parking spaces.

Customer service was amazing. liked the decor. Check prices before you order to avoid shock. Food is nice. Fried rice kinda spicy. The plantain is chill and the Asun is tasty, not sure it’s worth 1500 though but okay. Nice place to have lunch & dinner really.

One of the worst lagos experiences. They have a mẹ́nu that does not exist. Wé ordered 5 huge Plates of food and they would not give us water for free. Plus extra food. Tables aré not straight. No one cleaned off tables from previous people. Ten people working. Nothing done. Cant recommend everNO COVID-19 PROTOCOL IN PLACE. EMPLOYEES NO MASKS. NO HANDWASHING SEEN EITHER

I love The Places food!The service was timely and prices are reasonable.It gets a bit crowded on weekends, mostly due to the fact that it is in a school vicinity

What a nice and affordable place to eat. If you are looking for a lovely place to eat, I would encourage going their. If you have a tight budget, you can find something very feeling and less that 1500. I ordered rice with beef and water this cost 1000 ngn. May I add that the food is also tasty.

Nice place, great food. Ambience not so nice as it is located in a very busy area. I like the city view windows, looking out through the glass at that very busy junction and watching people, cars just do their thing can be very relaxing.

Review №14

Decent food place for a perfect blend of local cousine and semblance of continental rices. I tried the yam porridge, BBQ chicken and parfait on this particular visit and it was very basic. The parfait isnt the top 3 parfait I have had. But its still a decent place to get local food and different rices

Eat in or take away. Standard fast food facility. Limited parking. But with a little patience you will get space to park. If you motivate the police at the junction, you can get 5-star treatment with entry and departure. Never over crowded. Additional seating upstairs. Clean conveniences.

Its at a strategic spot. Easy to access! Close to St. Dominics Catholic Church, Yaba.They have varieties of cooked food, pastries, ice cream, parfait.Limitation: there is always a bit of waiting before being attended to.The rice here at Yaba branch is not as delicious as that of The Place Ikeja underbridge outlet...

Review №17

Tris is not the best place. Terrible customer service and very slow order taking. Food is good but they really need to work on their waiters. Also not the cleanest place to eat. I would probably only come back if I’m really hungry and no other place to eat.My second visit here and they had no plates to serve people eating in. Terrible experience, I decided to give it a second trial and I regret it. Waited 15 minutes and no plate. Rather die of hunger

A typical the place restaurant with the usual assortment of foods and snacks. This particular outlet also alongside food and snacks options sells ice cream with different flavors, mixes and toppings. These ice cream can comfortably compete in the ice cream market. The pricing for the ice cream is very affordable as well. Overall not a bad experience. Also available was the place signature Parfait which did not disappoint.

I love The Place generally. Great and affordable food. But it seems like the one at Yaba is quite different. Didnt enjoy the meal both times. Maybe I went there on their bad days though (thats me making an excuse for them, I know😂)

Review №29

The Place serves regular Nigerian meals. My experience eating Swallow at The Place, Yaba was nothing short of utter disappointment. The Amala (Yam Flower) had been mixed greatly with Cassava flour so much that it looked white. It was the worst adulterated Amala I have ever seen! The Ewedu and Gbegiri soup were very salty and the Goat meat was obviously not fresh... the taste was super bland. Overall experience for me and my wife was horrible to say the least! To make matters worse, there was a live fly moving in the toothpick container!

Got the attention for enquires I needed better, in person, than over the phone. 😏Liked the fact that one counter aisle was for food and the other end of the room was for snacks and ice cream🍨.Very nicely placed seats & tables for sit-ins, discussion & the likes, mostly suitable for two persons.

Review №56

It nice place even though in my opinion it was a little over crowded. I guess this is because it was a Sunday and most people came by immediately after their church service.Getting food and drinks was quick and the staff were courteous and attended to customers politely.I will recommend.
