Visited bungalows with high expectations going by general opinion and recommendations. Wasn't satisfied at all. First the outside; parking space is limited and narrow. A drunken sailor stands the chances of driving into the canal (dirty dirty dirty environment). Reception was ok. Ditto for the staff. They were polite and helpful. The place is in sections to cater for smokers. Customers were largely foreigners though it might have been due to the time I visited. Food is kinda pricey and more inclined towards continental and foreign dishes (not that I mind) though there is a Nigerian section in the electronic menu (cool stuff). Soft music, good for the palates. Ordered seafood pasta based on the recommendation of the waiter. Asked for no cheese but when it came there was cheese. Furthermore there was little or no seafood mostly macaroni (could have done better at home). Anyway the waiter graciously agreed to change my order to spaghetti bolognaise. When it arrived it was brought by hand (not in a tray) in a drab plate (see in picture)and when I asked was told that is the way they serve food (with no tray). The food was quite ordinary (). Other than that experience it seemed ok. The bar is well stocked and splendid. Will I give it another shotmaybe.

Cactus

Reviewed By asianink - Lagos, Nigeria

Cactus is right around the corner from the hotel we are residing at. They serve local, continental (American), Lebanese, pasta and pizza. They have a nice bakery and also offers ice cream. Sundays you can hear all the children playing outside at their children's playground. I like the "pepper soup with goat" and the "spicy chicken". The prices are pretty reasonable for the meal that get. Take away is readily available as well as Delivery.

Cold Stone Creamery

Reviewed By toksebony - London

We visited the GRA branch for post lunch desserts.
The restaurant had a very wide variety of ice cream flavours to choose from which was impressive.
I wanted ice cream on warm waffles as advertised but the staff seemed unaware of any other kind except cones so in the end I settled for warm crushed cones.
Quiet atmosphere and great service (we were able to taste any ice cream of our choice).
All in all a great experience!

Ocean Basket, Victoria Island

A contemporary family oriented casual dining restaurant located in the heart of the social hub of Victoria Island. Undoubtedly the best seafood South of the Sahara! Served in a relaxed atmosphere with service uncommon in these parts.

Nuts About Cakes

Reviewed By livinginlag - Lagos, Nigeria

Olivia's cafe is inside Nuts about cakes, most times people don't know the difference. Nuts about cakes is the bakery.
I discovered the amazing Chicken salad panini in Lekki. I really wanted something simple and light for lunch so headed to Olivia’s cafe in Lekki. Olivia’s cafe has really nice Breakfast, also had Aquistic breakfast saturday, also one of my favorite cafe’s in Lekki.
Opened a while now, I just love how hidden it is and how the space isn't so big so you can work there, have coffee.
I always recommend them because of the good food also they have free wifi. Would recommend for good panini place in Lagos.

Domino's Pizza

Reviewed By Vivian J - Lagos

Door men were welcoming, upon entry staff shouted welcome to domino's with no smiles on their faces (this was particularly not welcoming).
The place was infested with flies (irritating as they were all over the table - get ready to flap your hand to chase the flies while you eat).
The sauce that came with their new spicy chicken had a bitter taste (ensure you come along with your toothpick or dental floss as non is provided for eat-in guests - you'll surely need one after consuming the chiken).
What about the ice cream, tasted off, excessively sugary - impolite non smiling servers that could not explain what was on offer.
I did not bother with pizza (I'm not particularly a pizza person - anyway no point ordering any as I was not impressed with what I had so far).
All in all a yukky experience (not one I want to repeat).

Sweet Kiwi Frozen Yogurt

Sweetkiwi is a self serve, soft serve frozen yogurt bar which sells premium frozen yogurt in over 100 flavours. Our frozen yogurt concept that gives you complete creative control of their dessert. Our natural premium frozen yogurt is deliciously soft, refreshingly light and fat free. It contains active live cultures, naturally organic and comes with your choice of toppings.

Reviewed By mstphy - Lagos, Nigeria

I have walked past Sweet Kiwi a few times and had purchased a frozen yogurt cone there last year. I liked the chocolate flavor but not the peanut butter. For my friend's birthday, I thought I'd treat him to a frozen yogurt. I hadn't known prior to our visit, but saw once there, that there was a birthday promotion (photo attached). I asked for his birthday yogurt to be free. However, neither the customer service person or his manager would comply. Shameless really, as the ad was right there on the counter. Instead, without asking, the customer service person put a whole bunch of candy sprinkles on my friend's yogurt, as a means of compensation. We then picked these off. Not all the advertised flavors were available. Expensive, at over $20 for two yogurt cones, plus the toll fee to enter and exit Lekki Phase 1. Can't recommend Sweet Kiwi. Sorry - o.

I've been to Hardrock Cafe Twice. The burgers, chicken, chips are quite nice and they have ample space for some team-bonding and TGIF hangouts with colleagues. The band is amazing (I'm not sure the band performs every day though)Thank you for taking the time out to share your feedback with us, we are glad you enjoyed your overall experience and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
