There were 5 of us. Everyone's food was good! I had the chicken and waffles. They let me swap out the spicy chicken for wings since I don't eat spicy food. It was delicious. One friend had salmon and rice, the others had some variation of mac and cheese which they all enjoyed.

I’m very happy with my decision to go to Lagos. I celebrated my 36 birthday. There, the staff was very accommodating, the food was amazing, the vibe was very chill, but grown and sexy. I definitely will be going back.
