We didn’t order but had to pick stats for this app. Taking someone to dinner who chose that place for their birthday, only to be hit by the smoke from all the hookah and a table with a broken leg that has to be fixed. We decided to go before even making an order. The noise level was too loud, lots of Gen Zs and a DJ! If you want ambiance and adult company or even on a date there is not the place. It is too loud!

I saw Native advertised on IG by an influencer and usually they hype these places and you go there and it’s completely the opposite. But from the walk in my friend I I were greeted waiter checked on us from where to finish the dj was pure vibes I sang I danced and the food was also delicious

We loved everything about the restaurant... except the bar!!! The cocktail menu has very long descriptions of the drinks but doesn't list the type of alcohol/liquor being used in any of the drinks. when we inquired through the wait staff no one could tell us what alcohol/liquor was available except Hennessy and tequila(no brand). We hope when we return in the future there is a full bar with options for Dark/light rum, Gin, or even Vodka.

Great food, would not recommend for dates as this place is very loud and you cannot have a real conversation. However, if you just want a feel good night with some friends or a lover that’s already locked in, check it out.

This place is actually bomb. As everyone only knows Lagos for being a hip African spot. Native is literally a hidden gem. You guys have to try out the jerk mac n cheese. It is literally bomb as well as the jollof rice with either chicken or beef. They do provide hookah as well and the drinks are delicious and strong. The establishment has a live dancer and dj that was playing good music as well. Would def be back to try brunch.
