This was my first visit to Lagos Island, I think it will replace our previous local Nigerian restaurant. The staff were friendly, the place had a lively atmosphere, it was cosy and was nicely decorated although there were areas of wear and tear. The food was delicious 😋 and the service was good and those are the things I value. I gauge the dress code to be casual or smart casual. Check it out.

Chose to take advantage of the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme as it was on offer at this restaurant. We were welcomed by a very bubbly front of house staff and shown the buffet area which was impressive as it had a variety to choose from and even had fruits (apples, watermelon and oranges) as well as fruit-corner yoghurt. The food was tasty (although quite oily especially the crab but then us Nigerians do love our oil!!). It was a pleasant experience and it was nice to see a mixed crowd (age and race). The service unfortunately was a let down as on arrival we had been told the buffet was £15 pp (before applying EOTHO discount) however when it was time to pay the bill we were told it was in fact £19.95 pp to dine-in. While we were annoyed by this we did pay the higher amount billed to us. As the owner was also present at the time and within ear shot of our conversation with the front of house staff it would have been nice to at least get a friendly word from him acknowledging the fact that the error had been theirs. It’s the little things 🙂

Never got chance to try food as the telephone number online is incorrect. They must be loosing alot of business due to this. Shame I was in London on business my partner only eats food from Nigeria such a shame.

The food is not quite as good as before, maybe a change of chef is needed.

This establishment is where you go for a quick bite as a Nigerian. It gives that road side buka vibe and you can catch a drink while you eat or just get a drink if that's what you want.
They do not have a wide array of drinks so if you have a peculiar drink you might likely not find it here.
The most beautiful part of my experience there was karaoke on Sundays. The host is charming and warm and lit up the atmosphere with beautiful renditions and I couldn't help falling in love with the place despite my ratings.

For the price of £19.99 per person, this is not a bad Nigerian buffet restaurant. My take on the whole experience is this though. They have the main Nigerian dishes on offer from Jollof rice to efo riro but they were missing a few including moinmoin, seafood okro, ogbono etc. But on the whole, I'd say their offer is a considerable selection. Now to the taste, the dishes were not seasoned enough for my taste. They always needed that extra bit of seasoning. The rice(all the 3 types they had) were undercooked leaving them a bit hard. The meats including tripe were undercooked as well making them chewy. They had fruits on display as well but they were out of date and obviously not fresh and on the verge of rotting. To the on site facilities, on entrance, the ambience was below average for me and the toilet had no warm water or toilet roll. I know you may wonder why I said at the beginning that this is not bad restaurant when most of my review borders on the negative. Oh well, I will visit again because I think the price is not bad for eat-all-you-can Nigerian food. Secondly, the waitress was nice and thirdly, if you visited there hungry, you may not notice all of the above. Lol

It's a beautiful place with excellent service. I love how the black lady attended to us she pays attention to details and she's very friendly. The edikanikan ok but taste more like efo riro and the efo riro has just 3 lives. I love the music and the dj came prepared. Just try to work on your recipe, thought I could eat periwinkle in the edikanikan

The environment looks tatty and somewhat threadbare - the owners didn't take the trouble to upgrade the gener fabric of the restaurant. The doormat looks grungy and dirty and the carpet is taped over with sticky tape in some areas. Their food is bland and spices are not carefully measured - all of the meals I had tasted awful. And everything is overpriced. Will not recommend.
