Places to get Local Nigerian Meals on the Island
While we definitely have to give Mainland Restaurants their onions when it comes to Nigerian Delicacies, restaurants on the island are not left out and are matching up!
We’ve curated a list of local food spots on the island where you can get authentic Nigerian dishes for days you might be craving it. In no particular order, here are some top spots we highly recommend.
1. The Junction Restaurant
For native igbo soups and delicacies, The Junction Restaurant at Lekki is just the perfect spot. We tried out their nkwobi and our tastebuds were drooling for more. The aesthetics of the spot is minimal, yet they maintained a rustic decor. It’s quite spacious and suitable for a casual date with friends. We would rate the service a 5/10.
Budget: N10,000- N15,000 Per head
📍 23 Adebayo Doherty, Lekki Phase 1

2. Terra Kulture Restaurant
Terra Kulture has been in existence for over a decade in Lagos and they know their tea. They’ve been consistent with serving good Nigerian dishes. It is very spacious restaurant that has a rustic and very welcoming ambience, and we love how they infused African aesthetics into this spot. They have a mix of both local and continental local dishes on their menu.
Budget: N15,000-N20,000
