Ftkitchen — Restaurant in Cross River State

finally the waiting time was 45 minutes and why not we had ordered 3 different meals..Edikang ikong and gari for me.. my second best second only to afang soup. 2 had ordered white soup and pounded yam but i think they had poundo. and the other two egusi soup. Have not mentioned their swallow because i have forgotten. we had initially a jug of chilled Paln wine served in coconut shell cups. never seen such novelty ever and it was worth it. did I say the Palm wine was very very cold? well some of us are still tipsy since.

After waiting like for ever, the meal arrived . . not exactly that way ... the table mats first then the water for washing hands. when 2 of us demanded knives and forks, fork and spoons were brought then knives as if delibratly spaced to kill time. Ok the food finally came and the table was quiet every one to himself and the palm wine and a bottle of wine for our lady (and I). In all we had 3 jugs of Palm wine and a bottle of wine.

Jollof rice: Tastes better than it looks. Efo riro: Great. Ogbonno: Great. I chose goat meat and it had assorted (roundabout, shaking) inside also. Liked it very much.

I took a picture of my food. The other had already dug into their food before I could get to it.

Very good and tasty food. Well prepared meal. Awesome, quiet and calm ambience. But pricey.

Something that stands out is the ambience. Quiet and calm. I liked the wood and mat theme of the environment.

Mode of service: A la carte. It means you'll wait for the meal to be prepared in about 20 - 30 minutes. My advice is, if you know you wish to dine here, call them ahead to place a order so they can make it for you before you arrive.

Very Courteous and friendly staff.
