How to choose safely

What to check before choosing indian restaurants in Abuja

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.

    • salihu Z. ★★★★★ We went for a Dinner of 50 people, we were the organizers. We used indoors. The management was very considerate and helpful, we got very good bargain for that number. The food was great, the services was good, more than 5 waiters were assigned to us. They provided sound equipment at our request. They even have a standby photographer if you need one.

    • Ayodeji A. ★★★★ It's a decent restaurant with decent services. Their food is great compared to other restaurants and you'll find good customer services. I highly recommend. A 4-star because while I was cool with it, I wasn't necessarily impressed with the restaurant as a whole.
    • Y-Hama ★★★★ A restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or spending quality time with a partner. The waiters are kind and attentive, and the service is excellent. I tried the Chicken Alfredo, and the creamy sauce paired perfectly with the rice—it was absolutely delicious.

Everything about the place is beautiful, the service was very good, and the waiters were nice and respectful. Honestly, the food was pretty okay, nothing too crazy. Except for the naan bread, the naan bread was absolutely divine. I would highly recommend anyone to try it if they go there.

    • Salau A. ★★★★★ I loved every moment. Beautiful place with good food. Service is great too.
    • Vikas S. ★★★★ Worst place to dine with family. The service is extremely poor, and the staff behave as if they have no training at all. Food quality is below average. We visited on a Friday evening and ordered Paneer Butter Masala, two garlic naans, and one veg pizza. It took 45 minutes just to receive the naan and curry. The waiter even brought an extra naan, claiming it comes with the curry. I mentioned that if we had been informed earlier, we would have ordered only one. He simply said “oh” and added that nothing could be done because the other naan was already being prepared. The curry looked like it was cooked and poured straight into the bowl with zero presentation. It was also too salty, and I informed the server. The worst part was the pizza, which arrived one hour after ordering—and even after such a long wait, it was disappointing. The base was hard and didn’t taste fresh. All of this happened even though the restaurant was almost empty, with only 3–4 tables occupied. We spent over 48,000₦ for just two people, and it felt like a complete waste. Really disappointed. I will never visit BnB again.

    • robotboy15 ★★★★★ Might be our favorite restaurant in Abuja? We've been three or four times and also ordered for delivery. Fantastic food, impossibly large menu, and excellent, helpful staff. Wife and daughter love the butter chicken and veg samosas. I've tried a handful of paneer dishes, all excellent. Also a big Nigerian and Chinese menu, but aside from the shrimp dumplings (which daughter said were great), we've stuck to Indian. Prices are very reasonable for healthy servings. We love this place.
    • Abiba Y. ★★★★★ As a Nigerian trying their Indian cuisine butter chicken and cheese Naan was absolutely delicious.

    • maureen O. ★★★★★ Masala Wahala is easily one of the most beautiful and 'cool' spots I’ve visited recently—the environment is absolutely stunning and perfect for photos. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the decor. For an Indian restaurant, the flavors were underwhelming and just didn't meet my expectations, and the staff weren't very welcoming either. It’s a great place to go if you just want to enjoy the vibe, but if you’re looking for a top-tier meal, you might be disappointed.
    • Abiola O. ★★★★ Lovely location for lunch with excellent customer service. Rita, who attended to us, was pleasant, has a beautiful smile and was readily available to us. The food was great! The ambience was soothing, green and beautiful but it needs a bit more air. Overall, I'll recommend the restaurant to anyone seeking a chilled afternoon or evening.

    • Jude B. ★★★★★ Cilantro is a wonderful dining spot. The atmosphere is beautiful and comfortable, creatinga wonderful experience. Combined with fantastic food and nice and friendly staff, this restaurant is an easy recommendation. A great place for a meal.
    • Esther B. ★★★★★ Cilantro at Jabi Lake Mall is one of the best places in Abuja for a mix of great Indian cuisine and a relaxing ambiance. The lakeside view adds something special, especially in the evening when the breeze from the water makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food. Their butter chicken, chicken tikka, and garlic naan are my go-to choices, and they never disappoint. The flavors are rich, the spice levels are balanced, and everything tastes fresh. If you love vegetarian options, their palak paneer and dal makhani are also worth trying. The portion sizes are fair, though a bit pricey, but the quality makes up for it. Service is usually good, but like many popular places, it depends on how busy they are. Sometimes, you get prompt and friendly service; other times, there’s a wait before you get your food. The staff are generally professional, but I’ve noticed they could be a bit more attentive during peak hours. Overall, Cilantro Jabi is a solid choice for anyone looking for Indian cuisine in Abuja. It’s great for date nights, group dinners, or even just a solo treat if you want to enjoy a meal with a beautiful view. It’s not the cheapest spot, but if you value quality food and a nice ambiance, it’s definitely worth a visit.

    • Adaeze A. ★★★★★ Curry Leaves experience is unforgettable. I love every moment of it. We visited on a weekday and we were the only customers at the time. The place was neat, cool and welcoming. We ordered a variety of Indian meals just to get a taste and feel of India and we were not disappointed. Meals came hot, fresh and prompt. We were also guided on the meals to order and what to expect, including the glass juice. I wish we were still in Abuja I would have probably had a birthday dinner there. Well done and kudos

    • Success ★★★★★ I had the pleasure of dining at De cascade by cilantro yesterday with my colleagues, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was stunning, with a beautifully designed interior that set the tone for a wonderful evening. The food was exceptional, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. I was impressed by the variety of options on the menu, and our server helped us navigate the choices with ease. But what truly made our experience stand out was the outstanding customer service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, ensuring that our glasses were always full and our needs were met. Special thanks goes to my superiors @Premier Source and my awesome QAs (Vee & Noble) for making the event a success. Overall, I highly recommend this place for any occasion. Rating: 5/5 stars Will I return? Absolutely!

    • Joseph O. ★★★★★ Lovely hotel, great discount and nice/friendly staffs
    • dev G. ★★★★ "I recently dined at this restaurant and was disappointed with the overall experience. Considering the high prices they charge, the food quality was below average. The flavors and preparation didn't meet expectations for the price point. Additionally, the portion sizes were much smaller than expected, which didn't justify the cost. For the price, I anticipated a much better dining experience, both in terms of quality and quantity. Improvements in these areas are definitely needed to match the value for money."
