I passed by Akoka the other day and decided to stop by this spot. It is a small, shop-like space, so do not have too much expectations.

Gibbs Restaurant Banex Mall, Plot 10 Akiogun Road | Phone | Instagram I visited Gibbs Restaurant, a relatively new fast food restaurant. I passed this place a couple of times and decided to stop by this time. The ambience was warm and simple. MEAL There was not a lot of variety for the food. The meals were basic meals you’ll find at any fast food restaurant. When I walked in, I had my eyes on their Jollof Spaghetti with grilled chicken. The Jollof Spaghetti had an inviting aroma and tasted even better. It was well garnished with veggies and wasn’t […]

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 […]

Spending ₦5,000 on 3 Cheap Eats Spots in Ikoyi What is life without challenges? Nothing, nothing at all, which was why I took upon myself the challenge to find cheap eats/affordable meal spots in Lagos starting with Ikoyi. To be specific, the goal was to spend ₦5,000 on 3 meals and I was able to get that done. Here’s how. So, I started with Mr Biggs, it was nostalgic and a bit weird having to eat Mr Biggs at such a pricey rate, but it is what it is. I got a scotch egg and a meat pie for ₦950, […]

Zoe’s Bistro (Ikoyi, Lagos) 27 Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos | Phone | Instagram In the spirit of exploring, I took a trip downtown Lagos (that’s just to sound diverse, lol) to try something from Zoe’s Bistro in Ikoyi. For starters, I do think the name of this spot is classy and basic- Zoe’s Bistro. The part that wasn’t so fun was how I had troubles locating the place due to inconsistent numbering, I would put the blame on Lagos numbering body, if that exists. Anyways, back to the hotttt food gist. Zoe’s bistro did blow my mind and I blew […]

Flaky’s Kitchen (Lekki, Lagos) Lekki – Epe Expy, Opp. Ikota Villa Estate| Phone | Instagram It’s been a while since I visited a restaurant on the Island, but Flaky’s Kitchen has always been a spot on my list, so I decided to visit and review the space and food. The space is a small but beautiful spot that has a cool feel to it; I was the only one there when I visited. I guess they do more online orders and delivery. The wall is decorated with some beautiful art piece; I loved the sight of it. MEAL I ordered […]

Shores Restaurant (Ajah, Lagos) Shores Hotel Km 18 Lekki – Epe Expy, Eti-Osa| Phone | Instagram I hope the Islanders are ready because these updates cannot be missed. I stopped by Shores; it is a restaurant in a hotel around Ajah. When I got there, no one was at the counter. I automatically assumed the staff had gone to attend to lodgers. I did take note of the environment, as always; it was cozy, small, and well-lit. MEAL After waiting for a while, a waiter finally came and took my order. I wanted Spanish rice, but that wasn’t available, […]
