Native Tray GRA PHC

4 Victoria Pepple - 3 months ago

Local food cooked the right way. Perfect manner to introduce my friend to Rivers delicacies with the periwinkles in shells in the soup(that needs a lot of getting used to).
The decor is irregular and simple. I enjoyed reliving my childhood by playing board games which the restaurant provided.
We got there too early but we were allowed to sit a while before placing our orders and maybe that’s why it took some time to get us our food and don’t judge me, swallow can be my first meal of the day.
The portions were huge and we were filled.
The toilet wasn’t much of a looker.

Design and Space ✅✅✅

I LOVE the entirety of the space, its design, the set up, the little games on the table to make you forget the wait time is a big long.

Service ✔️

Well I couldn't forget that part. Wait time for food to arrive was a bit long and could be improved. The waiter forget one of our orders. Not cool.

Food Quality ✅✅✅

That was my first time eating Onunu. Even though I was told eating with stew didn't do it justice, my taste buds still thanked the ancestors for creating this delicacy.

Affordability ✅

The prices of the food and drinks were relatively affordable.

Amazing place and very good hosts . Highly recommend any out of town folk to come here. I am out of country and every time I come, I come with my friends and they are blown away. They make all the food fresh as ordered and have games to play as you wait along side good ambience and a very nice educational menu to study up on Nigerian Tribes. 5 star!

Location ✅

The Restaurant is located on Onne Road (just behind Studio 24), off the very popular Woji Road where half of the night life in Port-Harcourt happens. It's almost impossible to miss.

Ambience ✅

I would say great because it stays true to its name 'native'. Has a woody theme with very nice accessories - wooden mortars for serviette holders. Every table has a bell to draw the waiters attention and some local games to keep one busy (Board and Cards). Had these interesting tables that had sewing machine legs/wheels!
Has outdoor and indoor sections...cool

Food ✅

The best part - very tasty! Had the Onunu and I wasn't disappointed. I fancy that they offer palm wine too. The palm wine was also goooood!

I think that the food is reasonably priced, considering the quality of food. Prices range from about 4500 and above.

I was a little surprised that they ran out of Croaker Fish for a restaurant in Port-Harcourt ????

Waiting Time ????

Just prepare to wait sha... Took over 30 minutes to get my food ready and reasonably so, considering the meal I ordered.

Improvements could be made to the waiters' professionalism.
Found only one toilet.....could do with more!

This is an urban restaurant with local vibes ,a Nigerian traditional themed ambiance that I found quite beautiful. Their forte is Nigerian south south food , so it’s a good place to explore south south traditional dishes. Review
Piom Piom: This is Periwinkle (Or Isam as the locals here would call it ) . If you have eaten Nkwobi or Isi Ewu then you would Vividly understand the dish . This dish is basically like periwinkle prepared in the same sauce used to make Isi Ewu/Nkwobi It’s a bit stressful to eat but totally worth it .

Onunu : It’s a fusion of Ripe plantain and soft yam pounded together in Palm oil. It was prepared properly and if you are into ripe plantain and yam fussed together you would love this dish. It was paired with sea food stew

Sea food stew : As you can see in the picture , this stew was assaulted with a lot of seafood , no space anywhere, the fish in it was delicious . It’s a native stew that goes very well with the onunu.

Native fishman soup : This was an in house special soup . It was paired with pounded yam , definitely my highlight of all the meals to be very honest. It was delicious with a lot of seafood and the fish inside was just perfect

African themed restaurant with a touch of an industrial vibe. The food was outstanding and you can get preety much the very best of riverine and southern native soups here.

But the star of the show was the look and feel of the place.

I was really looking forward to the meal from here cos a friend recommended them highly and I was highly disappointed.
At almost 8k (excluding delivery charges) the food was grossly overpriced and when it arrived, the portion was barely enough for one person (had to order food from somewhere else), and it didn't contain items I was charged for! (I asked for chicken thighs and beef and I received barely half a bowl of soup with chicken wings and no beef!)
When I called to complain, I was told the beef 'was cut into pieces in the soup'. (I guess the 'knorr cubes' sized whatever on the spoon are meant to be the beef pieces ????)
A call in response to the complaint was ended with a promise to rectify the complaint and followed by nothing.
