FT kitchen, wow! When I heard the name, i thought it was Hefty Kitchen, like the kitchen get weight. The kitchen is located in the serene environment, all woody environment, it was a wonderful experience.
The waiter was good too, when it came to communicating and marketing the restaurant.
The food was on a different level, I was served soup in a royal bowl. Aditan soup was what i had and it was a blast. My Calabar tour was crowned with the visit to FT KITCHEN.
A good spot, they also board game like scrabble, ludo, chess, jenga, whot, and ayo. You have to wait a while for the food, the serve fresh food.

The food is very nice and fresh but took almost forever to arrive.
Then i got the explanation that this is an à la carte restaurant.
If this is the case, I figured it might be best to order the food before coming over to not have much wait time if you're impatient like I am.

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.
I enjoyed dining here but I didn't like the Tilapia fish; twas too dry, which is typical to a number of restaurants in Calabar.
Very Courteous and friendly staff.
Beyond cash, you can pay with your card via POS or Bank Transfer.
I totally loved the traditional settings, it was warm and serene.
The food was appetizing and freshly prepared so there is a wait time for about 20-30mins.
Games like ayo, whot cards are available to keep busy while waiting for your meals to be served.
Customer service was fine.
I will surely come again if i visit Calabar.
Lovely place, their meals are great and the serenity is crazy.. I love the whole Natural and native feel. The quiet there and the steady power supply. And the location is not too public, I love it.
I'm sad I discovered this restaurant on my last night in Calabar. I really really really like the restaurant. The food is fantastic. Ambience is great especially in the early evening.
We were a group of 4. Two people had jollof rice with goat meat, one person had efo riro and I had ogbonno soup. I tried everybody's food so I'll be able to give a robust review😅. Portion is sizable too.
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.
I didn't check out the bathroom though.
This place has great varieties of chicken and other meals. It can be crowding and services become difficult for the attendants. It’s not really a place for views or partying but great eatery point.
