FoodieReview: LAGOS CAFE – Los Angeles, CA.
Lagos Cafe has been in Los Angeles for sometime now. However, its new location on Wilshire Blvd is sure to propel this lovely cafe to new heights. On a late night adventure to visit the few local various Nigerian restaurants in the city, Lagos Cafe came to mind and in an effort to find its new location many messages were exchanged on BBM.
They say in business location, location, location and this restaurant is sitting in a very good location right on Wilshire Blvd. When you enter you feel a sense of warmth as familiar scents fill your senses. The ambiance is warm and inviting and the owner and those that work there just as inviting.
The menu offers a variety of West African cuisine with many familiar dishes and the prices are moderate, the average entrée will run you about $13 – $16. The pepper soup is awesome, but I would definitely recommend ordering mild unless you enjoy the inferno of heat produced by this spicy soup. Yes, naturally I expected heat, but this was HOT! The funny thing is, because it is so delicious you just can’t stop.
I would recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner, or gathering with friends for lunch or dinner. Every other week the restaurant host a happy hour event where people come to enjoy good food and good music.
