Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.

The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β€” your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.

Fashionably clean, but bring your patience.

Wazobia is a bright spot, with the jollof rice and croaker being the crowd-pleasers. Family vibes are strong, but don’t get too comfortable in your seats; patience is key as food service is slower than a sloth on a Sunday. If you're lucky, you might catch a sparkle of delight in the staff like when Ty raved about the owner’s hospitality. Just watch out for the occasional price confusion that might make your wallet cry. It's clean and stylish, but you're here for the food, right? Just be prepared for some delays as you bask in the ambiance.

Although many love coming back for special occasions, others have had their experiences marred by long waits and a few questionable dishes like the takeaway Ayamase that seemed better suited for a compost bin. If you can handle the food rollercoaster here, Wazobia might just become your next go-to, or at least a good story to tell.
