HIFASS Review

Truly a home for amala and 'orishirishi'. Anybody from the south west and indeed lovers of amala will love Iya Oyo Amala

For delicious local foods, amala and abula (ewedu and gbegiri), assorted meats, ponmon and others.

Nice place to be. Food was very nice. Can't wait to go back there.

This place is bae their food is delicious and their service is top notch.

Looking for where to get delicious Yoruba local meals in Abuja? Look no further. Here is your plug.

I ate one of the best amala in this joint, wow!!! It was so delicious with ewedu soup mixed with gbegiri and goat meat. Uhm. The environment and toilet however was not palatable at all. I think they can do better with that one

Adequate parking space, food is okay, BUT:
-only cash payments taken
-servers look tired & talk disinterested
-amala is TINY! Attached are photos and you need to see them! (For better quantity for your money, others are easily a better choice)
-do not go at peak times; if we had to wait at all, it wouldn't have been at all worth it.
Good luck to all who choose to brave this place.

Iya Oyo would be a 5 star for many if you're assessing only the favourite traditional meals and local setting. Iya Oyo is true to its Yoruba roots, serving only meals from the South-West of Nigeria. Even the rice & beans are served in Yoruba style. You would expect the unique peppery dishes but only the vegetable soup is that hot. Gbegiri & ewedu - amazing combo.

Everyone queues to be served, and Iya Oyo hosts over 60 customers an hour. The queue moves quickly though; needs better control at the soup point.

Iya Oyo has ample parking space so that your car is not blocked by another while you sweat over your plate of Amala. It also spots some cleverly hidden urinals outside - for men. Urinals for women must be secluded somewhere.

I give it a 3 star rating because service and staff attitude can be greatly improved. Consistency of the taste and quality of the kpomo needs checking, as well as availability of choice drinks. Reporting channels for complaints need to be provided. Also, Iya Oyo accepts ONLY cash payment

Has the best Amala in Abuja, Nigeria. Also at an affordable price.

Awesome. If you don't mind the queues which are sometimes frustrating

Factory efficiency. Amala was hard. It servers its purpose well.

One thing here is that there food is very affordable and delicious..

Great abula. Great amala. Great price. Adequate parking space. Long customer queue though. I guess there's need for more food servers.

The place looks cool but use of P.O.S, direct transfer and home delivery is not possible. Very good parking lot.

I really loved the food here . I will most definitely be eating here again .

Nice food. You have to queue up though. Really nice and affordable food.

Bite Bite Bite... Then lots of animals ... Continue biting

Wonderful meal and reasonable price
But too much traffic here, everyone around this axis loves to eat here

The amala was on point. The gbegiri also was well. The stew also was very nice.

If you are looking for that Yoruba native foods, Iya Oyo restaurant has got you covered.

If you a fan of good Amala, this is definitely you restaurant of choice when you visit Abuja. Price is also pocket friendly

The local delicacies here are delicious and well prepared. The environment is well sanitized. Dishes are affordable depending on the quantity you wanna consume. Ample eating and parking space. You can get amala, pounded yams, white rice, beans and assorted soft drinks here.

Local Food spot ..Amala and Assorted, yoruba type of dishes

It s a nice spot to enjoy the local Yoruba special delicacies

Fantastically hot meal, very good value and reasonably priced meal. Your burka experience in good ambience. No POS, no transfer, boldly stated. Take away food available but no home delivery o.
Entrance can be better paved though, rough drive way down to the restaurant will shake your car and you a little. But will go again and again.

best amala in Abuja and beyond

there can be a queue most times but it's worth it

Lovely Food. I won't give them a 5 Star rating because they accept only cash as payment (no P.O.S or cash transfer) and the long queues!

They never disappoint..just that their amala is now really small portions

The best Amala Joint in town!!! You'd find other kinds of food here too- the home made style. Enjoy!

I really don't know the Foss about this place. D food is just normal and I hate the service. Like u have to hold a plate and queue in line like a begger. I know people love it but I'm sorry I can never recommend this place until they change Their mode of service.

Ambience isnt fantastic. Just enough parking space as people go in and out. The food is loved by many. Amala, eba, pounded yam, beans, rice and a variety of stew and soups to choose from - efo, ewedu, gbegiri, ila, egusi. Then theres fish, meat, innards (roundabout, shaki, bokoto, kidney, etc etc).

Theres usually some wait, so it will be good to budget between 20-40mins to get served.

You cannot pay with a POS, no delivery and you cannot pre-order by phone.

You can get regular take away packs or the small buckets for soup/stew.
