Food was ok, décor and ambience were the best parts. Service was slow and when we had an issue with the food, it was a bit of a fight to get it resolved. Not sure if I would return. Drinks were good though

Great atmosphere although I booked in advance with my friend who required wheelchair access I was slightly disappointed that we were not properly accommodated and were seated in front of the front door and he was not able to access the toilet due to table setting. On a positive the food was out of this world and lived up to all the tik tok recommendations amazing amazing prawns and the staff were incredible great service and ambience joanne

It was a bit unwelcoming and food was dry. It was quite a busy night but the team could be more organised to get people seated.

Food was great, and the service that was provided was productive. The only objective I would suggest is having more toilets, which could also be separated from the women & men.

Customer service was great. The monika was dry and not flavourful or hot when served. It was a shame as we came based on reputation of 805. Jollof and plantain were good.

The restaurant is good. The floor was a bit slippery. It would be good to include some nibbles at the table for free (chin-chin and plantain chips). A bottle of water for the table would also be good.

From first entrance to leaving, staff service was awesome, attententative, warm, all done with a smile. Even when we were asked if we were finished, as the table was to be used after us, it was done very politely, we weren't rushed, the staff was considerate and it was professionally done. Did not trouble me or my guess at all. I would certainly go here again and recommend to others. Thank you staff at Monika's for a very memorable experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Monika by 805, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Main Course: 10/10 For the main course, I had lamb chops with a side of fried yam and jollof rice, and it was, without a doubt, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was stunning, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Each bite felt like a new discovery of tastes, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Service and Atmosphere: 7/10 The staff were really busy as the restaurant was swarmed, so the service was slow, we had to get up a couple of times before we could get the attention, however the staff were very nice . Nice atmosphere however the music was really loud and we had to shout just to hear each other Final Thoughts: This wasn’t just dinner ,it was an experience with my girls, and one we'll remember for a long time. Every dish was delicious. I cannot recommend Monika by 805 enough. If you’re a food lover, this place is a must-visit. Bravo to the chef and the entire team! I’ll definitely be coming back soon.
