Filling options include chicken breast, minced beef, shrimps, and a vegan option with tofu, carrots, and apples.

Food Quality
We ordered a 12-inch baguette, which we built with chicken, corn, BBQ sauce, and chicken sausage. The baguette was fresh and savory, though it arrived cold. Despite this, it was filling and tasty.
We also tried the Danbunama minced beef tacos, which featured three medium hard taco shells filled with BBQ lean minced beef, Danbunama, lettuce, caramelized onions, and BBQ sauce with sweet chili. The tacos came out steaming hot and fresh, with a distinct taste, texture, and aroma. However, we found the flavor combination less to our liking and not quite to our taste.
Our meals were presented in a wooden basket and served in paper boxes, adding a rustic touch to the experience. For drinks, we ordered a Chapman, which was very tasty.
Service
The staff were friendly, helpful, and very courteous. They provided efficient and professional service, contributing positively to our overall dining experience.
Ambience

The space is outdoors, and the kitchens are housed in food trucks. The overall atmosphere is inviting and tranquil, perfect for a leisurely dining experience.
Value for Money
Our bill totaled N13,700 for a baguette, tacos, and two Chapman drinks. The chicken breast filling was priced at N7,000, while the lowest-priced filling, the vegan option, was N6,500. Given the quality of the food, the freshness, and the overall dining experience, the prices are considered worth the value.
