Amala Tax Office(Surulere, Lagos) 13/15 Olubunmi Alonge St, Ijesha Tedo| Phone | Instagram I took the advice of a couple of you and decided to try the Abula at this spot. If you visit, be prepared for queues – whether it’s for Amala, gbegiri, stew, ewedu, proteins, or even at the payment counter. MEAL The place is quite cramped and hot, so I don’t recommend dining in. Moving on to what I ordered; the Amala was well made with almost no lump in sight. The stew was quite spicy but not flavorful, it tasted like plain pepper. Overall, it was […]

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 […]

Tank and Tummy (VI, Lagos) Plot 31 & 32 Chief Yesufu Abiodun Oniru Road| Phone | Instagram I think I might have found the cheapest Restaurant at VI. I visited Tank and Tummy Restaurant for lunch because I heard that it is an OG spot and a new branch was opened in Victoria Island. For starters, I like their space; it is serene, lovely and calm. MEAL They had quite a number of Nigerian food and protein options when I visited, but I settled for one portion of Pasta and Turkey. The Pasta was savory and delicious. The portion was […]

The Styrofoam ban in Lagos Lagos state government has just banned restaurants, food spots and shops in Lagos from selling food in Styrofoam products on the claim that drainages are being blocked and streets are being flooded due to Styrofoam pollution. Punch reports that Lagos grapples with poor hygiene behaviors and indiscriminate waste disposal habits by residents causing Lagos to generates 870,000 tones of plastic and loses N7 billion annually managing waste. You are probably wondering what this has to do with you or if this news would be in effect, I think it would. In the last few days, […]

NEW RESTAURANT ALERT (Oniru, Lagos) The Beach by Gusto, Lagos 10b Trinity Avenue Oniru| Phone | Instagram The beach by Gusto, Lagos is a new beachside restaurant in Lagos. They have an indoor & outdoor area for dining, Cabanas and a swimming pool. I tried a couple of items on their menu and here’s my thoughts. The wait time for my order was pretty short about 10-15 minutes, and the customer service was excellent. The wait staff who attended to me was clearly well trained and very competent. I had the calamari Provençal and shrimp cocktail for appetizers; […]

Angelos Cafe (Lekki, Lagos) 15 Victoria Arobieke Street, Cinnamon Garden, Admiralty Way| Phone | Instagram I spotted Angelos Cafe, Lekki recently and I knew I had to stop by.

You can also do some work there but you have to come with your own WiFi. MEAL They have a wide, affordable, and interesting menu, but mostly limited to pastries, salads. smoothies and breakfast options. I had the […]

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 […]

D Crown BBQ (Lekki, Lagos) Agungi Ajiran Road| Phone | Instagram I spotted D Crown BQQ food stand the other day and I had to stop by to check it out for my foodies. It’s a pick up spot as there’s no place to sit and eat. The meals are well preserved in stainless-steel trays and kept in a wide show glass to keep off the germs and dirts. Unrelated, but I know this egg would hit the right spot MEAL They have very limited options of rice, moi-moi, fried plantain, pasta and a variety of proteins. I got their […]

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 […]
