Vestar Coffee (Ikoyi, Lagos) 40 Alexander Ave, Ikoyi| Phone | Instagram I visited this coffee spot in Ikoyi just for you, okay, maybe for myself because I really needed the muffin. The space is serene and cool; nothing extra. Now, to the meal. DRINK I tried their iced caramel macchiato, and it was spot-on in terms of flavor, delivering exactly what I expected. The caramel was sufficient as well. However, the blueberry muffins I paired it with were a bit disappointing as it lacked freshness. I think they should revisit and try to ensure the pastries are […]

Shop 10, UNILAG Shop 10, Faculty of Science, University of Lagos | Phone | Instagram This spot was recommended by one of my followers stating that their jollof rice is very good. Well, what to do than to find it. The space is a zero! It was small and hot like an oven, whether there’s light or not. I wondered how people ate there. They had some seats and tables outside which was where I ate. It was also a bit dark. I would advise you take out as opposed to eating there. MEAL I ordered Jollof Rice, Fried Plantain and […]

Bodega Emporium (Lekki, Lagos) 3 General Ogomudia Rd, Eti-Osa, Lekki 1| Phone | Instagram Located in the heart of Lekki, Bodega Emporium is a specialty shop and café currently in its test run phase. I’ve stopped by this spot before, but it was during their launch and they weren’t very organized. I’m expectant especially now that I’m going as a paying customer. They have a very cozy, relaxing and colorful space. They also have a comfortable workspace with free Wi-Fi, so you could also get some work done. MEAL Similar to specialty shops that specialize in gourmet foods or […]

Iya Samodi, Mushin Mushin | Phone | Instagram I visit Iya Samodi; a popular amala spot in mushin as it came highly recommended by my amala avengers, just to try their amala. The space is very small and looks unhygienic, it looks like an amala factory. MEAL I had Lafun (white amala) with gbegiri and Ewedu; the amala was lumpy, the stew, gbegiri and Ewedu were very flavorful, the beef had no flavor at all. OVERALL EXPERIENCE I didn’t enjoy the meal at all and I won’t be visiting to eat Iya Samodi Amala again. I was left underwhelmed, as […]

Lokito Restaurant (Lekki, Lagos) Primewater view garden, 2 off Freedom Way, Ikate| Phone | Instagram I’ve had this place on my radar for quite some time now so I thought to finally make out time to check it. The ambiance is screaming 90s. I really love what they did with their space. There are those olden days posters you would see at barbing/hair dressing saloons. Their space strikes this nostalgic and warm feeling. It is also quiet and no one would even think to look for a restaurant there – it is located in a residential premises. The background songs were […]

Emi Oga, Surulere 76 Adeniran Ogunsanya St, Surulere, Lagos | Phone | Instagram This Amala hunt has led me into eating salt and oil. These recommendations are starting to get scary. I visited Emi Oga’s place in Surulere because it had been recommended a few times by a couple of my followers claiming their Amala would beat the rest. I decided to visit; I got there, and their space was neat and small, but the staff wasn’t friendly at all. You would think that would make the food tasty, but no. MEAL I was got there very early, they only […]

Street Food in Lekki – Lowcol Food Truck Admiralty Wy, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos | Phone | Instagram Who else has noticed this Food truck close to Lekki Phase 1 gate? Well, I decided to stop by to see what really goes on in there. It’s small food truck, so if you’re dining in, note that the space can get cramped and hot, and that’s expected because the spot is made out of iron containers. MEAL Let’s get to it. Their menu mainly comprises of Nigerian breakfast options. They also have rice and pasta. I got Akara (6 balls) and […]

Yaqudi’s Restaurant (Ikoyi, Lagos) 5 Mobolaji Johnson Ave, Ikoyi, | Phone | Instagram I spotted this restaurant while driving by and decided to check it out because I figured it might be another cheap and good spot for my Ikoyi people. Their space is quite simple, old and looked deserted. To honest, I didn’t want to judge Yaqudi’s by its cover, but who paints a restaurant like a police station, come on!!!! MEAL Straight to the food, I got Rice and Stew with Fried Plantains, Egg and Assorted Meat. They were generous with the rice I must say, but my […]
