Food: The food variety was good with some Chinese and African options; rice, noodles, beans, plantains etc. The bread rolls were hard and probably had been on display for a while. The salad bar had a selection of lettuce, cabbage, carrots, and sweet corn. They also provided diced apples, watermelons and pineapples for fruit salad. The available dressings were thousand island (my favorite in the world), regular heinz salad cream and ranch.
Overall, the spice level of the food wasn’t to my taste as I really enjoy spicy food. I requested pepper sauce on the side and it still wasn’t spicy! if you’re not really into pepper then you should be fine.
My favorite items from the buffet were the gizzard and the Chinese noodles. My least favorite buffet item was the bread roll; it was like a stone!
I don’t recall seeing any dessert options.
Drinks: The one catch with the 2500 buffet is that it covers only food; drinks are charged separately. BLD cocktails are at least N2500. I got a Pina Colada which was sweet, but I couldn’t really taste the alcohol. I liked the presentation of the drink though…very fancy.
Nice review! What flavor was the Shisha, and do they have a good variety of flavors? Best Shisha I’ve tried in Naij was at Pub1 in Ikeja..apple flavored. Very nice!!
