I‘ve been in Port Harcourt for a few days and decided to go about town and we ended up at Port Harcourt Mall, a bit ravenous we decided to get something to eat so we stopped by Davis Cafeteria because as I was walking by the dishes on people’s plates just kept calling me, calling me….I had to answer the call!
AMBIANCE & HOSPITALITY
Ambiance was pretty decent-it was a a food court so there were other restaurants in close proximity. The tables and chairs were laid out and there wasn’t an enclosing for a private moment-open view sturvs. Now let’s talk about hospitality….
fa fa fa fowl! Nothing.
We sat at a table and had to almost plead to be attended to-it was annoying. Sometimes when we needed maybe an extra spoon, no one was around to take the order. One time I tried to catch one of the waiter’s eye so he could attend to us, he quickly turned away and next thing started pressing phone… hospitality, customer service is zero!
WHAT WE HAD
Now on to more interesting things, we had three platters of food. When I sat down, I surveyed the plates around me and proceeded to ask anyone with an appetising plate what they ordered. LOL. It was weird… because it did look good. I’m glad that was what I did because by the time I was given the menu, more than half of the items listed did not exist and when I asked “what is your kiwi smoothie made up of“, the response I got was “we have chapman” I was very confused. I asked more than 3 times and I got nowhere. I just said “Give me what that man over there is eating“…Menu was so confusing.
We ordered for Chapman, it was okay tasting. Uncle Junior had that and Tito even took a sip. He seemed to like it.
I ordered for a drink called Vitamin C where was a mix of citrus flavours and was served with a big chunk of apple. Errr I didn’t like that it came just slightly cold…I was hoping for really chilled smoothie – maybe no fuel to turn on their generator :/
Bobo ordered for a Kiwi but this was the content of the kiwi-watermelon and beetroot. LOL. What was it named Kiwi?
Now to the dish, Bobo got Chicken, Chips, Coleslaw and a bit of stew was slathered on top the Chicken. I tasted it and liked it.
I’ve had a thing for snails lately so I ordered snails and it came with Spicy tomato sauce, Chips, Coleslaw. The ketchup was unusually sweet…sugar maybe?
Uncle Junior had Peppered Gizzard and it I actually enjoyed it. It came with Chips and Coleslaw too.
DAMAGE DONE
Like a fast food, you have to pay before you are served and I think the price was okay. Each drink was N1000, and each platter was N1500. In total we spent about n7,500 for me, Bobo, and Uncle Junior.
Would I go there again? Well, if I was at the mall and need something to eat, yes. But I wouldn’t drive all the way from my house there (If I lived in PH ).
Have you been there before? What was your experience like?
