One of the best meals I have had in a while. Customer service was excellent, the waiter literally sweeped me off my feet. Food took about 18 mins to get ready. I advise you order immediately you arrive. The Afang Soup came with so many obstacles such as dry fish, ok porpoise, kpomo, beef etc. The pounded yam was just so awesome I had to request for a bowl to make use of my hands to eat. The garden outside was breathless. Zolene has a serene environment with an African feel. I recommend for anytime.

The service was great. I had the pasta and the sauce was divine. The meatballs were very crispy on the outside and so juicy in the middle.

It is a family-oriented restaurant providing a warm ambience. Beyond the main building, there is a garden area and an outdoor sit out. The coloured patterned walls are a good mural for a picture. The akara waffles were so good, if you don't like pepper, the sauce can be overwhelming so do ask them to add a little. Note: Akara is made from beans. The African pesto chicken pasta was so delicious, I was tempted to order an extra bowl. Not ready to fill your belly with carbonated drinks then order either the zobolicious zobo(made from hibiscus) or palm wine. Zolene, is a place to visit.

My first eat out post -lockdown! And I enjoyed every bit of time spent at Zolene. It is really the place to be. The location, ambience, music, staff courtesy, the food, and Tina’s (the owner) show of hospitality 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. We had the grazing table and everything on there was well made. The desert was also one of the best I’ve had in a while (my waka was not in vain😁) Oh btw, there’s a garden too and it’s a really sweet spot for bomb photos. Very picturesque location, you need to see for yourself.

Totally loved the ambience of this space, it has a dreamy garden, and a well thought-out, warm, homey and welcoming feel. The food is amaze-balls, I will recommend their plantain croquettes. As someone who doesn’t fancy ripe plantains, it was surprisingly delightful - I had two more helpings 😉😉. Also had the Charcuterie board, tasteful selections of differing and complimentary flavors and textures. Service too was excellent, very present without hovering. If you need a great space to eat sumptuous food in the company of your family, friends, a date or even by yourself; think Zolene.

Nice and cozy restaurant with lovely music selection. We enjoyed the original and creative meals. The staff was very helpfull and professional but the service was a little bit slow. You can play Nigerian board game while waiting for food

My first time here but definitely won't be my last time!!! What a lovely environment. Serene and awesome place to seat with friends. Also love the green area where you can actually play indoor games with friends. The food was actually delicious!!!! I actually tasted the different dishes my colleagues were having. It was an amazing experience and we all promised to come back.

This is my favourite authentic Nigerian restaurant. The food was amazing. The chef here is outstanding when it comes to local Cuisines. Definitely worth visiting for the best local fresh products. Lovely decor with indoor and outdoor dining. The food took some time to make an appearance. I guess it’s because everything is made from scratch. We played board games as we waiting patiently. Food is Not microwaved. Great customer experience. The staff were friendly and attentive. We hope to visit again soon.
