Missed Part I and the back story? Catch up
Protea Hotel Awolowo
“ Not only was the food average but there were flies everywhere on the table,on the food,on the cutlery. I started to wander if they catered to flies as well.The flies were more than the customers.please find a solution as it ruined my experience.”
BLD
“Went to BLD a couple of months ago,not only was the food not nice,the waiters were so clumsy and the bouncer horrible.Worst restaurant ever.”
Crust & Cream AND Viceroy
“Food never got delivered. 5 hours later I’m still calling to find out what happened to my waffles/tikka masala”
SPAR Food Court Lekki
“Hi guys, so I went to the SPAR in lekki yesterday morning to pick up some stuff and happen to pass by the food court. It all looked so good so decided to get some takeaway. I got the fries and beef sausages (which by the way aren’t cheap) for myself and pounded yam and okro soup as a treat for my Dad. The beef sausages had gone off so bad it tasted sour. Had I tasted the food before leaving Spar I would have returned it. I really wanted to endure and eat it anyway so my money wouldn’t waste but that was too risky so I just had to throw it away. My dad ate the pounded yam and draw soup half way and stopped complaining that it was stale. For goodness sake! If spar wants to charge so much for their food at least don’t give me salmonella in the process! Thanks #rantover”
La Mango
“Hello Folly and Nosa,
I love what you guys are doing. Keep it up!
My worst experience was at La Mango restaurant, we used the place for my friend’s bridal shower and it was like they booked all the bridal showers in Lagos that day. There were five bridal showers going on simultaneously. I had pre booked a space for the shower only for me to get there to meet the space already decorated for another person’s shower after apologies by the manager, we moved to another space but that was not good enough and we ended up using the poolside for the shower.
The service was amazingly bad. Our server was a nice polite young guy but he must have been overwhelmed with the work. For every course I had to go in to remind the waiters that were sitting doing nothing to serve but they kept saying they could not serve us that we had to wait for our server. The food came late and was not all that great. I would NEVER visit the place again for any reason. I hated it.
To their credit, the pictures were great because the pool side was beautiful, it still does not make up for the EXTREMELY CRAPPY service.
Sorry I rambled a bit but trust me this was just a summary lol.
Have a great day guys.”
