How to choose safely

What to check before choosing cafes in Festac

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.

    • Ademola M. ★★★★★ : The fisherman's soup was delicious, the service was spot on even though there were 6 of us and we ordered twelve take away packs of various foods. The kitchen literally being in the middle of guest seating is interesting but it works!!!
    • A W. ★★★★★ : This was a recommended place so we tried it out. The ambience was delightful, the food was extremely delicious. The food tasted authentic also. And the presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Lagos and wants good food.

    • Lolu W. ★★★★★ : A perfect spot for your date nights and birthday/other celebrations you might have. The environment is serene and the music is just right. Their food is affordable. We mixed the chicken dish with Brocolli and had a glass of wine to go. The red wine was 12,000NGN The chicken dish (I don’t remember the name) was around 8,000NGN The broccoli was around the same price or a little bit more There’s a Karaoke attached to the space.
    • Oscar O. ★★★★★ : Good ambience, quite expensive for the locale. On the day I visited it was completely empty because it was a Monday but I enjoyed the meal with my partner but I strongly believe that their pricing is too steep for majority of the people in the vicinity

    • Grace O. ★★★★★ : I had a good time at this Chinese restaurant! Food was amazing, ambiance was lovely, and service was excellent.
    • Chinedu O. ★★★★★ : As someone who always enjoys Chinese food - it's a cuisine that never disappoints me - my visit to Shaolin Kungfu in Festac was another winning experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service set the stage for something special. Every dish was a masterpiece: - Bao Zi (Steamed Buns): Soft, fluffy perfection - the ideal starter. - Chicken Spring Rolls: That satisfying crunch gave way to juicy, flavorful filling. - Wenzhou Beef Noodles: While there wasn't any broth as I expected, the noodles themselves were absolutely lovely and packed with flavor - the beef was incredibly tender. - Sweet and Sour Pork: The perfect balance of tangy and sweet with melt-in-your-mouth pork. - Mango Smoothie & Kungfu Pot: Refreshing complements to the meal. - We also got complimentary cakes along with our dish. Our server wasn't just attentive and he was remarkably knowledgeable about every dish, offering perfect recommendations. But what really stood out was when we wanted to capture memories: the manager noticed taking pictures and struggling to get perfect lighting and personally suggested the perfect spot in the restaurant for photos, even having our server assist with capturing the moment. This was soooo thoughtful. Shaolin Kungfu delivers everything I love about Chinese cuisine - bold flavors, quality ingredients, and that satisfying feeling of a meal done right. The food was exceptional and the staff treated us like family, and those special touches made it memorable.

    • Kiara_J ★★★★★ : The environment is okay for a casual dinning and there’s a VIP for those who seek a quieter exclusivity. Oh my, the food was so good especially the Abacha. Well seasoned and fried fish. The chips and chicken was also great, large portion of grilled chicken with appropriate amount of char. Customer service was fantastic too. It was an amazing experience. Will go again and again.
    • Henry A. ★★★★★ : It was nice. Comfort is sure, just that it takes a while for the order to be delivered. It isn't that bad but it could be worked on. In general I would rate the experience a solid 8 over 10

    • Law M ★★★★★ : Very disappointing stay. The toilet in the room wouldn’t flush, and there were cockroach eggs on the table, which was really disturbing.The bed was has hard a sleeping on the floor. No blanket you have to pay extra to get a blanket. The room was not cleaned during my stay, and the staff were rude and unhelpful. They also don’t allow you to eat in your room, which makes no sense. Little fridge does not work ..it's just there for decoration.This place used to be good, but it has really gone downhill. For the same price, you can definitely get a much better hotel in Festac. I would not recommend it .
