The food was amazing. The experience was a 10 out of 10. If you like some party music vibe while you eat food you'll love this place. My husband was allergic to the food that they had in here and they were nice enough to let him bring outside food into the restaurant so that was definitely a 10 out of 10 as well.
Food and service was good. no isses at all. i oreder the pepper soup, Full fish and beef suya.
Can't believe this spot has been up the street from me this entire time! Dropped in for a pick-up order. I tried calling prior, but the phone went straight to voicemail. Inside was beautiful, really love the light fixtures, art and the Lagos wall map, so creative. This spot doubles down as a restaurant/lounge, hence the name: Boum Boum / Little Lagos. It took a while to place my order, but once placed wait was about 15-20 mins. The only reason I'm giving this spot 4 instead of 5 stars is due to a few inconsistencies - of course a phone number is on the site, but no one answers. But I did see someone taking an order over phone, so not sure when they decide to answer. Also, menus online do not match menus in restaurant - those in restaurant had more items and prices had an uptick of about $3-5, which you can imagine can be very confusing. As for the food, my experience does not account for a dining-in experience, but I truly enjoyed my jollof with plantain and beef Suya. This is comfort food for me, so I truly enjoy it being so close. Portions were fair and food was fresh. Waitresses were very friendly and accommodating. All in all, I'll be back tomorrow LOL
I love little Lagos. This was the first spot I came for African food when I moved to ATL. They have the best suya and snapper. The chicken wings are way too small but flavorful. Def a must try!
We arrived to this restaurant/hookah bar around 7:15pm. A waiter came to assist us immediately which was great. They will offer bottled water as if it's the only option since there is a charge associated with it; however, tap water is available for free but you have to request it. We ordered around 7:31pm and received our food within thirty minutes. Because this is a hookah bar, the tables on the restaurant side are very low. You'll have to lean forward and down if you have the food delivered to you there. We were sitting at the low tables first but decided to head to the bar so we could actually sit at normal table height to eat. The steak kabobs were cooked too hard. They didn't ask how we wanted them cooked and we didn't think to tell them medium, so we just dealt with the overly well-done. They had a good taste, but they were just really tough to chew. The jollof rice with chicken and plantains was absolutely delicious; however, one of the chicken legs was really dark on the inside which made me not want to eat it, so I left half of that leg on the plate. I did dump the jollof rice into the sauce that the chicken sat in though because it was amazing. I loved the spice it added to the meal. The taste of all of the food was phenomenal. The jollof rice is definitely the star of both meals.
