I saw few negative review from the people about this resturant .
I am surprised for the negative review .
This is the only Indian resturant in Kano with a swimming pool for the guests .
A designated play area for the kids .
A good snooker room for chilling .
Private dinning for parties and meeting .
Price is quite affordable , as compared to the quality of the authentic Indian taste .
I recommend who ever visits Kano have a visit to the resturant .

A New Restaurant in Kano Town, with a great ambience and quality food to please you.
Reviewed By Kamal K - Kansas City, Missouri
The Corner is in fact two corners in one; co-located with enough space between the two to offer an additional open air sit-down. The 3-in-1 location is ideal for family getaways providing privacy as needed and yet big enough to host not too large crowds....MoreThanks for your kind review sir

Reviewed By ManRash2 - Lagos, Nigeria
I was informed about this place and decided to try it our with family members. The service was fast and staff were very courteous. We ordered 2 pizzas- a chicken one with thick base and a shrimp one with thin crust. The shrimp one was brilliant but I observed that chicken one had probably too much cheese as all the toppings slid off the bread. The pricing was reasonable.
