Is This the Most Premium Restaurant on the Mainland?
There’s a certain excitement that comes with finding a premium restaurant on the mainland that checks all the boxes; good food, nice ambience, and an all-round experience. Wakame, located inside the Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja, might just be that spot.
From the moment you walk in, you can already tell this is no regular dining experience. Whether you’re planning a special date night or just want to indulge in good food, Wakame is one of the standout premium restaurants on the mainland that still delivers on quality.
The Space
First things first, this space is gorgeous!
Wakame gives luxury, comfort, and tasteful interior design. Think sleek wooden accents, soft lighting, and subtle Asian-inspired decor that transport you far from the buzz of Ikeja. It’s the kind of place where you want to take pictures before the food even arrives.
The restaurant also features a separate lounge that lights up in the evenings with cool music and an easy vibe. So whether you’re coming for lunch, dinner, or late-night cocktails, the mood stays premium.


Meals We Had
Let’s get into the food because that’s what we came for
Wakame serves a mix of Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian dishes, so if you’re craving Asian food, then it’ll be a good pick.
Our focus was more on Indian food, and here’s what we had:
- Tandoori Chicken: Grilled to perfection, with its smoky flavor.
- Chicken Biryani: This was nice and we enjoyed it
- Butter Chicken: Creamy, tangy, and we had this with naan, a classic.
- Chicken Masala: Masala brought the heat, and we needed it!
- Bao Bun with Crispy Chicken: This one stood out. The bun was soft, and the chicken had that crunch.
Drinks We had
- Pornstar Martini
- Wakame Signature Cocktail


Budget:
Depending on what you order and how many people you’re dining with, a meal for one here can go from N50,000 to N100,000.
