Street Food in Lagos For my first street food, I stopped by Super Suya, also known as Akerele Suya; a budget friendly Suya spot in surulere. Many claim it’s one of the best in town, so trust me to check it out. It’s not the regular table stand type of suya spot and it’s easy to find because it is just by the road side. Down to it, the attendants are friendly and cheerful and the space is quite clean and comfortable. It’s a grab and go spot; no chairs. I opted for the big Suya stick on their menu […]

Bira’s Place (Alagomeji, Lagos) Industrial Avenue, Sabo| Phone | Instagram Bira’s place recently open at Alagomeji and I just had to go check it out on this hot wednesday. It was a lengthy stair climb, but I found a mirror before going into the space and that might be a plus for mirror picture lovers. The space was generously decorated with artifical flowers and inscriptions with some drawings. I must mention that it is spacious and there was this part of the space that had ballons and was yet to be open. I would say it was the lounge. Let […]
