Rhapsody’s Restaurant Nigeria (The Palms Mall, Oniru) 1 Bisway St, Maroko, Lekki | Phone | Instagram Rhapsody’s Restaurant Nigeria is a contemporary lounge and bar with nightlife energy and fine dining experience. I visited the branch in Palms Mall, Oniru. The space is very beautiful and lively. The purple paint/aesthetics makes the space pop, but the rooftop area isn’t functional yet. If it were, it would have been the picture perfect spot. MEAL They had a wide range of options such as starters, salads, burgers, sandwiches, Italian meals, seafood, grills, pizza, cocktails, and mocktails. I went for the extravaganza […]

Eniafelamo Foods (Adekunle, Lagos) 39, Old Yaba Road, Adekunle| Phone | Instagram This spot came in highly recommended by one of my amala avengers and to be honest, it was all I was told it would be.

The portions of amala here is quite small and the man serving the amala was quite rude, so I was rest assured that I was in the right place. The amala was so so good! it […]

Local Pastries Spots in Lagos I am giving up my amala adventure for a while so I can see, eat and experience new things. I am starting with local pastries like fish rolls, sausage rolls, doughnuts, akara, etc. My first stop was this roadside spot called Akara Terry; I stopped by to satisfy my Akara cravings. They sell Akara, Bread, Fried Yam, Ponmo and Meat. I had akara and bread – Akara Burger. The size of the Akara is okay for the price. It was fluffy and had crunchy edges. It had the right amount of seasoning and wasn’t bland. […]
