Confidence E. ★★★★★ : The staffs were very nice and the ambiance was beautiful. Amazing service
Simi A. ★★★★★ : Had the absolute best time at Purple Jasmine today! The cafe is so aesthetically pleasing and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. I had the croissant, iced latte, English breakfast and fries, and every single thing was delicious. What really made the experience stand out though was the hospitality. We had the chance to interact with management, who genuinely made us feel incredibly welcome and made the experience even more pleasant. The staff were also so attentive, sweet and accommodating throughout our visit, and the playlist was amazing!!! Overall, it was genuinely a 10/10 experience and I can’t wait to come back again!

Omotayo S. ★★★★★ : Nice place. Great services and very good meal portion. The meal is real good value for money.
Elsie's S. ★★★★★ : Horrible customer service and super long wait times. Lack of proper communication. Food is good yes but not worth the stress you have to pass through to eat it.

kemi K ★★★★★ : Food was amazing, service was good, they were a tad slow tbh but the ambience? 💯
deborah A. ★★★★★ : Beautiful space with nice ambiance. The food was delicious, but the wait time bumps my rating down. Somewhat strict photo policy (Wasn’t allowed to take vids/pics of restaurant despite it being almost empty) There was only 2 other guests at the time we went (Sunday at 2pm), and our dessert took 40 mins to arrive. I enjoyed my experience but I was disappointed in the wait.

Oyinda HE ★★★★★ : Food is à la carte. We waited 1hr 15mins for the meal but it was worth the wait.
Richard B. ★★★★★ : With two of my colleagues from work, this is our favorite place to eat swallow, and we have been multiple times with no complaints. The service is great, the staff is courteous and I have only had to wait for my food longer than I'd have liked just once out of the several times that I have been there. You can even phone ahead before you get there. The food is very nicely prepared and tasty. I usually have the Oha soup with Pounded Yam or Poundo. I can vouch for the Afang and Fisherman's Soup too. Did I mention that they have cocktails? 😁 The ambience is serene, low-volume music would be an improvement but you wouldn't mind not having it. They have chairs and sofas, with seating arrangements for different possible groups; two-person date, groups of three or four, even a family table. There is also a small outdoor balcony area to seat maybe two sets of two people each. I like to sit upstairs but there is a nice space downstairs, the kitchen is also downstairs as well as the bar for drinks. The only downside is parking. The designated parking space is the horizontal area right in front of the entrance. It can park only 3 cars, the alternative option would be street parking. All that being written, they definitely earn a 5-star in my books.

Olaide O. ★★★★★ : This is easily one of the coolest restaurants I’ve been to in a while. The service was great, the food was amazing, and the ambience was so chill with a really cool vibe, it honestly reminded me of those fun restaurant games. The staff were polite, friendly, and super helpful, and you don’t even need a reservation; I just walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, I have to say that again because it was that good.
Sterlings C. ★★★★★ : Nice, I got the Fruity Yogurt. The Granola was a bit overwhelming, I wish there was more fruits/seeds. I got some extra Yogurt to balance it out. The Yogurt was so thick, and of good quality too. Breakfast pancakes was great too.

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing bars in Ikoyi

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

Check recency
Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.
Match the occasion
Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.
Watch consistency
Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.
