So far I've ordered ogbono, moi moi and pepper soup. Ogbono 10/10(portion size,taste, quality and qty of meat was perfect), moi moi 8/10 (taste and portion size was good but couldn't see fish or egg in it) and pepper soup 8.5/10 (taste , portion and qty of meat was good). Would recommend .

Wow this bar surprised me and my friends. It's clean It's done out perfectly with three huge light changing chandeliers. The people who run this bar are the nicest you'll ever meet anywhere The food wow the food is unbelievable: Fish pasties suya beef chicken and rice and sweet dumplings ..wow so nice I wanted to lick my plate! Dancing is magic here cis everyone gets down and boogies to the Nigerian beat. Large parking area and the best garden area of any bar in Newcastle area. Chopooo is not to be missed. Great venue for tourists cyclists or a good crowd of bikers. All in all a most friendly and welcoming bar. So clean!? They must have a magic fairy? Geordie Paul Green Guardian

I hardly give food rating but I was at Chop ooo Restaurant and Lounge yesterday , it offers an exceptional blend of Nigerian and continental cuisine in a cosy, vibrant atmosphere. The jollof rice was smoky perfection, while the suya delivers authentic spice that lingers just right. The staff were friendly and attentive to our requests . This to ensured a delightful dining experience for me and friends. The lounge's tasteful decor and upbeat vibe make it ideal for casual hangouts. We had drinks and it was well-crafted, with the Chapman standing out as a refreshing highlight. Whether you're craving a taste of home or exploring new flavours, Chop ooo nails it. I strongly recommend them.

Love the food and service is good. However best to order food in advance so you don't wait long. Restaurant small but it feels like home. Love the owners. Xx Aba (London Ghanaian gal based in NCL)
