Delicious snail, though understandably pricey. I loved my ewa aganyin & dodo. My friend had chicken and jollof rice. The latter was well made with that smoky taste everyone in the know is looking for. Service was faster than I was expecting (in my experience, this is often where nigerian restaurants under perform, but not 805). I've deducted one star as there was no Gulder beer (why?!) and my waiter kept offering Heineken instead (if I wanted bloody Heineken, I'd have gone to my local!). We had a bottle of Shiraz instead that was surprisingly good. Also decor could be a little more African, but nothing is perfect. Overall very pleased & will definitely visit again.

Poor service. Be warned if you are not a Nigerian the fried fish comes drenched in a sauce menu didn't even say it comes in a sauce. When I asked the waiter the chef told him I should pay for another meal! Very disappointed ad it comes highly recommended.

A good start to try West African - Nigerian cuisine in a local restaurant. My Nigerian friend took me to explore his native cuisine. It was a good experience, and I might return to try more. This restaurant is worth checking out if you're looking for local and good Nigerian cuisine. However, the decor and food presentation could have been more memorable, unique - traditional. Santana is a starter, marinated and spicy gizzard, was perfectly seasoned with traditional Nigerian spices, providing a delightful taste without being too spicy. Unfortunately, tho some of it was a bit hard to chew. Another starter - Nkwobi, a delicacy made of cow foot mixed in spicy palm oil sauce, had a bitter taste and some of it a crunchy texture that I like, but overall it is not my cup of tea. For the main course, the grilled fish with smoked jollof rice, fried yum, and plantain was a better experience, especially the rice was a true standout - the flavours were rich, with tender fish perfectly cooked and seasoned. Just be sure to check with the staff if you have a low tolerance for spiciness, as the seasoning can be vibrant. Prices are reasonable for some dishes, but starters are overpriced.
