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 […]

Norma (Lekki, Lagos) Posh Plaza, Addmirality way, Lekki Phase 1| Phone | Instagram I’ve passed this spot a couple of times and heard Norma by The Banjos in Lekki gives the best suya experience so I decided to finally give them a try. I found out the spot is a “24 hours” open spot and they have a really wide menu. They have a few chairs but I recommend pickup or item delivery to your home. The chairs in this space are for when you have to wait for your order. MEAL You know me, I like to try everything […]

Amoke Oge (Bawala, Lagos) 1, Bawala Street, Pedro| Phone | Instagram As you all know, I’m still on the search for the best Amala in Lagos. This search led me to Amoke Oge, Bawala branch. They have a large space but it can get really hot especially when it’s crowded. Here, there’s a disorganized queue to get amala, another queue for gbegiri, stew, etc even up until payment. MEAL I secured a plate of Amala, Ewedu, Gbegiri, Goat Meat, Ponmo and Fish. The texture of the amala was not smooth. The stew had the right amount of pepper and was […]

Loki by Sycamore (Surulere, Lagos) 53 Iyun Rd, Surulere| Phone | Instagram I decided to check out Loki by Sycamore located at Surulere.

By the way, Loki means street, so I was ready to have some street adventure here. MEAL Their menu had a lot of options, I ordered for their Lagos jollof with peppered turkey and a bottle of water, somehow I was […]

Calabar Aroma Restaurant (Lekki, Lagos) Plot 24 Adebayo Doherty, Road 14| Phone | Instagram One of my food resolutions this year is to try local foods from other tribes. I started by trying out a Calabar dish at Calabar Aroma Restaurant. The space was quite easy to locate and it was a beautiful space. I really did like the set up and touch of colors as well as the outdoor space. MEAL For a Calabar restaurant, they didn’t really have enough Calabar dishes on the menu. They just had the basic meal every other restaurant would have. I ordered […]

Clay Foodshop (Lekki, Lagos) 20A Babatunde Anjous, Lekki Phase 1| Phone | Instagram After a long time of not visiting Clay, I obeyed my cravings and stopped by. It was definitely worth it as their products are still as good as I remember. Their space remains simple and lovely with no dine in spot. MEAL I ordered one bottle of Tigernut Milk, Masa and Balangu Suya to go. There are other varieties of local/northern food/snacks/drinks and they also have a suya stand. The Tigernut was very milky and rich. I could tell it was freshly made. The Masa was […]

The complimentary smoked chicken crackers was delicious as well as the house bread which was so fresh, soft and served warm. I had the Agbalumo Mocktail […]

Kos Restaurant (Ikate, Lagos) 17B Kusenla Rd, Ikate Elegushi| Phone | Instagram I stopped by Kos Restaurant, Lagos and believe me, I had a wonderful experience. The space was easy to locate. I loved how it was calm and lovely. The spot had a mix of African décor and other touches, which I found really beautiful. The lighting in most areas isn’t very great, so you’ll have to strategically position yourself to get quality pictures – for my picture lovers. This spot is good for casual dates and hangouts. It’s serene, and private, and they have board games to keep […]

Visiting Cheap Eats Spots in Shomolu, Lagos I know it is 2024, and you thought I’d stop my Cheap Eats challenge, but never. I have you covered. I thought to explore Shomolu, Onipanu this time. From our most spoken about Amoke Oge to food on the streets, here’s how my adventure went. I thought I should try something else asides the famous Amoke Oge’s Amala and somehow, I think there is a reason their other menu isn’t popularly spoken about. They had a variety of rice so I tried out wo portions of Jollof rice with beef. The rice wasn’t […]
