As a consistent IJGB, I have always curated a list of places I’d want to visit during my time in Lagos. Driving through Lekki, my partner and I had one thing on our minds…and that was to cross Angle Villa off our checklist. We had heard about this spot for quite some time from friends and were chuffed from the get go…
Parking & Service We parked outside the compound and of course ‘park at owners risk’ was the obvious sign I noticed. No signage saying ‘Angle Villa’ until you walk into the compound. As we strutted in, we greeted the receptionist who was on the phone and failed to acknowledge our presence. He made hand gestures only he understood. We stood for like 2mins before making our way to locate and sit ourselves in the restaurant…
Whilst we got settled, a young fellow spotted us and said “I’ll be right back”….well ‘right back’ turned out to be 35mins and during that time we had flies all over our table…wasn’t a good start and at this time, got a little irritated and switched to another table.
Moving on, we placed our orders and waited for another 30mins before our food came through.
Food & Drinks The pasta dish was really tasty and was immediately sold on it after the first spoon…the creamy look and seasoning of this dish was perfect. The jollof rice dish was equally as tasty and presented well…but the Nigerian in me was craving ‘dodo’ after my first spoon..lol
In addition, the drinks were served cold which I liked a lot. We also got complimentary peanuts.
Overall Angle Villa Experience Overall, this place was well worth it…apart from the slow service. I’d rate this spot 8/10. The environment is conducive for just about any kind of social meeting or hangout. I’d definitely come back and perhaps next time come not so hungry. By the time food is served, the hunger levels would have increased.
Final Thought – a tad pricey but definitely a really good place to eat, lounge, drink and relax.
One of the best hotels in Lekki Phase one. Cool environment. The staff are excellent. Its quality for money.
I’ve visited the restaurant and found my food to be super delicious but service to be extremely slow. This could have been a review with a 4 star rating but for the slow service and numerous flies in the outdoor seating space.
