Christopher A.★★★★★ — A four night stay at Lala's, was one of the best decisions I made for my family's short trip to Lagos. Best thing about Lala's was the staff. Judith and Genevieve, thank you for a warm and welcoming s

Sandhya S.★★★★★ — Easily my favourite place to hang out. The food is delicious, clean flavours, served with a lot of warmth. That's hospitality right there. They also have a bakery that's worth having a go at as well.
Jim★★★★★ — Good food and beer here,price is reasonable
Zulikha H.★★★★★ — It has a great ambiance. The food was good, I’d rate it a 7/10. I had the ram suya and fries. The music was also pleasantly low, which I appreciated, as most Nigerian restaurants tend to play music th
Tammy K.★★★★★ — The Garden, Ikoyi is a nature-themed outdoor/ indoor space that immediately welcomes nature lovers to a feeling of warmth and fussiness. It's like wearing very comfy pajamas and sitting in a room with warm white lights, staring at a beautiful piece of art, with your legs planted in a soft warm rug, in a cooled atmosphere.
The place is packed with different activities that won't leave you bored. From Afrobeats nights and live bands weekly, to the brilliant "movie under the stars" that shows something for movie lovers, it doesn't appear that they run out of ideas to make their space come alive.
Here are my critical reviews of my second experience.
Experience
- I went to watch a movie "under the stars" with a couple of friends and it was generally a great experience. Sound was decent, though not, the best, but given the circumstances, above average. The projector did a good job and the ambient was just as expected for the setting; dim and clear.
- One drawback would be the fact that the screen wasn't elevated, so people at the back had their views a little obstructed by those in front.
- The movies source appeared to have some issue as it kept stopping during the show. It was usually quickly resolved, however. Would be nice to improve on that.
Food & Cost.
- We ordered a platter worth ₦200,000 to feed 10 people and each had a glass of cocktail accompany the platter as well as complimentary popcorn that was served towards the end of the movie.
- The Barbeque chicken was great, 8/10, the fish was terrible 3/10, the Jollof rice side was great, the Suya, shito and Pork were all super great. I'd collectively rate those 8/10.
Customer Service
- Possibly the best part of the experience and what sealed. All staff were super nice, attentive, friendly and very professional. I'd rate the service we got as a 10/10.
Location
- Was easy to access, but scary being by the side of the road. Accidents can happen and I hope for all our sakes that they don't.
Cheers!
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.
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.
