Chill Spot, UNILAG Unilag Sports Center, Akoka, Unilag | Phone | Instagram Is this what UNILAG students are enjoying? I heard about Chill spot from a friend of mine and decided to check them out. Their space is warm and quite relaxing. It would be nice for hangouts and even simple dates. Now, to the main deal. MEAL I ordered the Happy Boy Combo and Blue Lagoon Mocktail. Just as the name implies, the Happy Boy Combo lived up to its name except for the “Fried Rice”. The rice was bland; i didn’t enjoy it one bit. However, the […]

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 […]

Cherish Kitchen, Oniru Oniru Market – In front of the Palace Gate| Phone | Instagram There’s something about street stir fry pasta that does it for me. I spotted Cherish Kitchen and stopped by for some quick lunch. Okay, you know I am absolute believer in street foods, I would vouch that the meals from there hits the spot better than anything else. I have a proof now. MEAL At Cherish Kitchen, I got Stir Fry Pasta, Chicken and Coleslaw. The Pasta was sumptuous and mouth watering. The chicken was well seasoned and soft. I really enjoyed it. The coleslaw […]

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 […]

Xplode Deli (Lekki) Victoria Crest, Orchid Hotel Road | Phone | Instagram I walked into Xplode Deli for lunch. I’ve been passing this area, but never really noticed this spot until recently. It was such a simple and cozy space. MEAL Their menu was quite affordable. I got Yam and Egg Sauce, and it was just too spicy and the eggs weren’t whisked properly as they didn’t blend with the spices. Some parts were too tasty than others. The yam was well cooked and soft. I believe they could have done better. Who messes up egg sauce? OVERALL EXPERIENCE The […]

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 […]
