The hotel was excellent - although they do run out of food sometimes - on our first night we (all 4 of us) ordered fillet steaks. Sadly they only had 3, so I was generous and ordered a peppered beef and chicken pie. It was reasonable but was a little creamy for my own tastes.

Victoria Island is a part of Lagos. It is fairly big and is a city within a city. It is not Lagos Island where the Central Business District is actually located but Victoria Island and to be more precise Lekki (Peninsula) is where all the newly rich of Lagos live. Being on the lagoon itself means that you get to see life on the water during the day and at night. sadly we visited after dark, it was calm and relaxing.

The Restaurant was suggested by local colleagues who also joined us for dinner. It was also paid for by them! So thanks twice over to them.

There are two menus - Indian & Chinese and then International - they were quite extensive and all of them had a local touch too. We had a range of different things from pizzas to curries and then wraps.

sadly the service is poor, and staff seem very lax at times.

Favorite Dish: I had a chicken byriani - it was more of the Indian style than the kind we eat in the UK - it did not come with a curry sauce. the large pizzas ordered by my local colleagues were good too!!

They have Excellent Tandoori Barbecue dishes like Flamingo Pahadi Kebab and Flamingo Tandoori Jumbo Prawns! MMMnnn, Ambience is much better than the other Indian restaurants in the Market, and indoor parking space and nice and friendly staff. The speed of the service is a little slow but the quality of the food is worth the wait. If you like your beer and the curry this is the place to be.

Favorite Dish: I love all the vegetarian dishes especially the Dum aloo Kashmiri, it's a potato filled with stuffing and covered with their tomato gravy, Yummy! Goes well with Chilli Garlic Naan if you like it spicy!

Saipan is run by a HongKong Chinese lady , they are in the thrid floor of Dream Plaza. Open the heavy wooden door and u will find a lounge / bar area. take stairs to top level and you will find a spacious dinning area with one or two smaller private rooms. hre u will get dim sum form 12 to 3 . this is one of the nicest dimdsm places in VI.

Favorite Dish: steam prawn dumplings, poridge steam buns

Okay, I will be bias because my mom owns this place with a few other Chinese. It is a very classy place and very spacious. You can definitely have a banquet in a white interior space. It has a clean feeling to it.

Food is catered to the Nigerian taste. If you want real Chinese food with unaltered ingredients you have to travel else where like Hong Kong. So for a Nigerian standard it is great, but for Chinese standard it is so so. This I am not going to be bias about cause I love food. I rather pay hefty to eat great food.

What I love is that it has a bar + cafe ... Volar ... love the name too ... on the bottom level of the building. So after you dine out why not hop to the bar and enjoy a drink and some music with live band playing and even dancing will do you good after eating.

My favorite topic is about food. There is a Chinese community in Nigeria. This is one of the restaurant that my dad goes to and he is a very picky person when it comes to food. He is a chef himself. If he says that it is good, I take his word for it.

It is very good Chinese food with a little of experimentation because of using local ingredients. They do import if you have any request, but it will cost you arms and legs.

Favorite Dish: This dish is an experimental dish. It is similar to a tofu dish but it is not made from soy, but made from milk. It is has a tofu texture and it is deep fried. Crunchy on the outside and silky smooth inside.

Any chicken dish made from locally raised chicken that runs around the farm instead of caged in. The meat is very tender and chewy with real chicken flavor! After you taste a chicken from a 3rd world country ... those Foster Farm or caged chickens are just plain disgusting.

This is a bit more western, but you can get things typical to Nigeria, rice, puff puff etc. The layourt reminds me of diners that you may get in the UK so that's probably what made me feel more 'at home' here. Great thing it was well air-conditioned and had TV screens so that you can watch things like MTV crubs whilst tucking into your fried chicken! I know sounds funny but, I was really impressed with the low cost and high taste!

I will update this page once I have found the details of this restaurant, it's a chain of them so you should be able to find a few darted around Lagos Island. In the mean time go to the link below to see other restaurants that Lagos has to offer, eating out is a big thing and you will see that there are many different specialities in the city, not just African food - there is actually a huge Lebanese community!

Favorite Dish: Meat pies and fried rice.

A fantastic ambiance, one of the few places in lagos where restaurant has a beautiful view on a garden with secure parking within the famed Muson Center.
Early this year a new chef was recruited, which has greatly improved quality and taste of the food now being served, with addition of the facelift given to the restaurant under the new management, makes LA SCALA second to none within the Lagos metropolis.Service is excellent and menu has a diversified choice of continental dishes.

Favorite Dish: Dont miss the Sole Meuniere(Sole Fish in butter/lemon sauce),or the Kyle Locklash(Jumbo sized grilled prawns in garlic sauce).
