MY ONE CHANCE BUFFET EXPERIENCE AT PRIMAL HOTEL

WHO I WENT WITH
A few days before we were on Isaac John in Ikeja GRA oh, na so I see one signboard "ALL DAY BUFFET" with the price slashed from 5k to 3k! Chei! You know that I will not see awoof and commot eye, and una know say nothing I like pass buffet! I went with Bobo and Chief and he was well behaved-no fussing and little crying-after a few kisses he was calm.

AMBIANCE AND HOSPITALITY
When we arrived we were greeted warmly and shown to a table, and then shown the array of dishes. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming, it was clean and I really really liked the environment. Wish I could say the same for the food. 

WHAT WE HAD
Sigh. I tried their jollof rice, fried rice and one pasta orisrisi like that. It was quite bland. Yup. Nothing to write home about. So I decided to try out their swallow-so I went back to the buffet and had only the choice between semolina and wheat. WHY??? lol. Not even the general Eba, or Amala. It had to be Semo and Wheat. I picked Semo and Ogbono soup...all I could do was a bite. I couldn't go further. Bobo even tried...na hunger make am chop the food pass me (we saved our appetites all day for this). We tried the cake there-according to Bobo it was like old bread. I didn't bother tasting. The best thing I had there was the chilled Malt I requested. Dazzaall.
DAMAGE DONE
It pained us to spend that money-in my opinion I feel they should have compensated us for what we went through. That's exactly how I feel.  We spent a good N7,500 on that experience. I would totally come there to chill with my friends to drink Malt but not to eat.  

On our way out, a lady (I think the manager) asked how we found their hospitality and the food - as soon as she did , Bobo rolled his eyes as per "here we go"...I told her that the food was not nice, did not taste good and was cold! I will not lie-I cannot go to hellfire because I'm being economical with the truth. 


If like us, that signboard on Isaac John has been tempting you-don't bother. Unless they've upped their game.

    My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. “If you don’t eat your vegetables, you will never grow up”.

    My mother taught me GENETICS. “You’re just like your father”.

    My mother taught me about my ROOTS. “Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?”

    My mother taught me WISDOM. “When you get to be my age, you’ll understand”.

    And my favourite: my mother taught me about JUSTICE. “One day you’ll have kids and I hope they turn out just like you!”

  11. Well, the photos and the explanation about the food, hotel and ambiance state different from the comments. May be thy have improved their quality or something. However, to avoid bitter experience, its is good to review hotels in Nigeria Africa.
