Sshuddho G.★★★★★ — Jacob who served us did an excellent job while Sam the manager personally took care of my cocktails. Absolutely, top class. What I did not understand is that while AMEX international credit card works fine in Shiro its not even accepted in your establishment.

Yasmin B.★★★★★ — My sister and I got the chickendodo dish and cocktails: Sex on the beach, red passion w/ a shot of tequila. The cocktails were really good. The food was ok, would’ve liked more seasoning but the portion was perfect. Overall, service was a bit slow. We had to wait for our food for almost 1.5 hrs. Joy was an amazing server and she was the best thing that happened in this place!
Amina A.★★★★★ — Best lounge for chill group hangouts in my opinion. We went at night so the atmosphere was so cool and refreshing. Drinks were delicious, staff were friendly and professional, food was nice and well made.

Oyinlola O.★★★★★ — FANTABULOUS TIME!
The dancers were amazing (especially the lady in my photo), the passion fruit martini was great and the sushi was so tasty! I also really like the photo area in the bathroom
Johnson E.★★★★★ — The restuarant has a very nice ambience. Different meals are served. From breakfast to main meals to desserts and snacks. There is also kids menu to choose from. Food was great and very filling. Nice customer service. Our attendant Mary was very lovely. Enough parking space.
If you are like me who doesnt have an adventurous taste buds, just stick to what you are familiar with lol. I had the 'grilled fish' and chips and honestly I didnt enjoy the fish because it didnt taste like what I am used to lol so maybe another thing to do is ask the waiters questions but luckily the sauce from my starter was a great help to eat it.
Other than that, it was a good experience.
Gael★★★★★ — I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff were polite, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout. The meals were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

I will be back soon

Fouad★★★★★ — When in Lagos, a must dinning experience. A well known halal establishment. We ordered the bbq platter and we thoughroly enjoyed every bite.
amer F.★★★★★ — This place keeps surprising me with the food quality that is the same for the past year which 10 out of 10 , i came in ramadan to found a set menu which covers the most iconic plates!
Keep it up and wish you the best in your business.
Mojisola Y.★★★★★ — This place is amazing, tucked in an unassuming location. I have passed by on many occasions and never knew it was there. The food is great and the customer service is top notch. I had a great time.
Abigail★★★★★ — The service was definitely one of a kind. The waiter at our table was the nicest with his swift assistance. The food was great. For first time visitors, make sure to let the waiter know as they’ll hel
Emmanuel B.★★★★★ — First time guest. Frankly the gentleman waiter(forgot his name) was quite exceptional and very helpful.
Unfortunately, after 30mins of waiting after placing our order, the kitchen calls him to inform him that there was an emergency which had to do with no gas to cook. Asking that we wait for upwards of an extra 35mins to figure out how to resolve this. Even appetiser wasn't available.
We had to leave without eating. I still hold that the professionalism of the waiter was noteworthy. However the kitchen staff behaviour and slip-up in planning messed the entire experience up.
Prices look fair (I was looking forward to lambchops and mashed potato(recommended by waiter)) ambience was good.
Won't most likely be returning.
Grace C.★★★★★ — Their meal 10/10
The service here was really welcoming
The chefs are really talented
This is my 5th time here I just had to drop a review
Manzo N.★★★★★ — La Taverna felt like an Italian downtown restaurant. It's a beautiful space with good food. The only the u wasn't so comfortable with was the wait time to get attended to or having to scout around to look for the person attending to your table. If possible, the owners can get a table bell or indicator so guest can use the botton to notify the servers. Overall, it was a good experience and affordable prices.
