Lovely service, food and drinks. The price was amazing honestly I will be back
Food was amazing but service was very slow. A bit unprofessional with staff and the manner in how they speak to customers. Apart from that great food, music and drinks.
Food took ages, waited 40 mins for a table, got our order wrong, didnt wish us happy birthday. Made errors on our bill. The food was really nice thats they only thing that kept us there.
Everything great would definitely go back or recommend a friend.
Lovely food amazing atmosphere great staff great service. Lovely presentation.
We got there 9:10 and waited for 48mins before they could get us sit. We stood on our feet for 48mins.
The staff was very professional.she see a all my request. Very clean. I would definitely recommend and go again. It was my husband bday and he love it it was amazing thank you
Really good atmosphere and staff were really friendly and attentive throughout especially Precious, she was really nice and kept that good service going throughout our experience. Only feedback I’d give was that the music was too loud causing customers to be loud, it just made it difficult to hear my conversation overall. Other than that, it would not deter to me from coming back 😊
The food is great but the service needs a lot of improvement. The staff is extremely unorganized and lack a sense of urgency.
Good food nice atmosphere and overall good experience with the saxophonist serenading us
We had an amazing time, ambiance was great and the food was tasty.
Food was lovely and the manager John was so pleasant. I took my mum here for her 50th (they couldn’t believe she was turning 50) and they brought out a candle lit cheese cake with drums and maracas! I found the restaurant going viral on Tik Tok. The vibes lived up to the hype. I’d come back
Great food as always. Will go again ! ! !
Good ambiance. Good food. Beautiful decor. Customer service could be improved.
It wasnt busy enough to justify some of the mistakes happening and it was difficult to get our waiters attention most of the time, a mouse was spotted in the restaurant which also caused another guest to run out screaming in a panic.
I will start on the positives, firstly the fish was delicious as well as the vegetables. The look of the place was great and easy to get to. The macaroni cheese was OK, but to cheesy, & my Wife & I would have liked if the food overall could be more spicy. We will be looking forward to going back soon and hopefully these improvements will be made.
I came as it was my first time and a friend birthday we like the atmosphere and the music
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere!!. We will be coming back.
As it was quite busy table was not ready at slot time given, waiting staff took long with our drinks only ordered water and in the end had to collect from bar myself after waiting 15mins. Food we ordered was nice and presented well, maybe less onions as garnish. We ordered more food but the platter of meat suya was very salty so couldn't eat but owner was understanding and did not charge us which was positive, overall a nice vibes and atmosphere. I would return
The food was very tasty and well presented. Would definitely go again
We were very pleased with the venue and food. However, the service from our waitress was exceptionally bizarre and unprofessional, truly unlike anything we've ever encountered. The inability to address this with another staff member at the time was also a concern. It's clear that enhanced staff training on customer interactions is needed.
We had to wait for our table even though we had reserved it weeks ago which frustrated me a bit. But once resolved the service and food was good. The menu is confusing as we thought the price was a strange way of numbering the items, only to find it was the price. This fooled some of us and I think this should be corrected so people know what they are paying. The music was good but too loud so we could not hear each other talk - and others taked even louder to be heard. Creating the right ambience is important as people generally go to restaurants to eat and talk.
Food was amazing, but very busy. All in all, fantastic experience and will definitely be visiting again.
Repas goûteux, ambiance chaleureuse, un personnel accueillant et investi. Très beau cadre
Service and food was great! Great vibes also, I will definitely come back
It was really good and enjoyable. The food was really good. I would like to give a big shout out to Precious for making my time at Monika memorable . I would definitely come back again
Great service and amazing food. The portions were great. I loved it
Brilliant experience, staff are very attentive and food was amazing!
Beautiful restaurant. I really loved the food and customer service was on point
The food had a lot of flavour and big portions. We had a new waiter who needed a lot of help. The vibe is good with music and authentic clothes the staff made was good.
Customer service was poor and the food was average and over spiced.
Everything was good apart from waiting for a table and waiting for our food to come
We were greeted upon arrival, lovely decor. Service was exceptional as was the food and quality of the food. We will be going again as this will be our favourite! Please don’t change anything ie food or service. This is what some restaurants do and then spoil it. But thanks all at Monika’s for a lovely day.
Lovely food, great atmosphere. Very generous with the portions. Good music, definitely going back.
We booked our table at 2215 and were not seated until an hour later once we were seated we were told that our table had customers seating on it and we had to stand up again once we were seated again it took another 25 minutes for someone to collect our order ! The food came and the sits was cold and chewy not impressed with the services
The Food was great and the atmosphere was really nice.
Wait was long but staffs were great , there could be improvements for waiting time
Lovely atmosphere, food, drinks and service. Music was very loud though, making conversation difficult.
Excellent restaurant, outstanding food!!! Noise level excessive! But didn't spoil the meal
I’m so glad I finally made it here. Everything about the visit was 10/10 - the food, cocktails, service and atmosphere. I was aware they had mixed reviews likely due to opening up less than a year ago but they’ve done great listening to past reviews and improving their service. I’ve already recommended it to friends and will be back again soon! Thank you to the team at Monika! Reem
I really enjoyed my time at the restaurant and the food was great
Had to wait a short while to be seated as they appeared to be fully booked for 3pm. Had a great staff member assist us which was appreciated. The food was good and not too much of a wait. Good portion sizes too. Will definitely go again !!
The front of house lady needs to learn her role as she seemed a little overwhelmed so came across not very welcoming …. HOWEVER our 2 beautiful waiters were absolutely amazing, loved the ambiance of the place and the food was truly a delight … ps…. The suya powder needs an upgrade not quite what I know Nigeria is capable of. 8/0 for my first time
Most of the food was flavourful, cooked well and tasted well seasoned(the fish, asun, plantain) however the mac and cheese, and jollof rice was missing a kick and had a mid flavour. Also unfortunately, the suya meat lacked suya flavour and lacked strong flavours. Cocktails tasted nice and looked pretty, though the rum Chapman was a bit too sweet. Apart from that, overall it was a good experience and really nice service and atmosphere.
Excellent food. The atmosphere was great and will definitely visit again. We were however rushed to pay the bill without us asking first but on reflection it was a busy Friday.
Great atmosphere and decor. Service was bit slow at the begging but and the end was very attending and nice. Food arrived very quickly and was really hot and full of flavours. I would really recommend Monika to my friends 🧡
2nd time at Monika, enjoyed the food with my Mrs. Excellent customer service from Ms Precious.
Great ambiance and service, fantastic food. It's a different, lively atmosphere compared to anywhere else I've been over the years.
Nice food and environment nice drinks and the female owner is nice
Service was very good; she was very polite, food was ayt. Only issue was had to wait for almost 20mins for my reserved table.
