Lagos Restaurant and Lounge

Lagos Restaurant and Lounge

With spicy jollof rice, peppery suya, savory moimoi, and cocktails like “slay mama” and “wahala dey,” Lagos Restaurant and Lounge is bringing Nigeria to NYC. A cross between a Nigerian restaurant and a typical Lagos nightclub, Lagos locals testify that the lounge recalls the tastes, rhythm, and energy of their city. Here, soft blue light illuminates the tables, while a DJ plays an electrifying mix of afrobeats, centering the latest Nigerian hits. It’s not so much an escape from Manhattan as a celebration of the Black metropolitan creativity that’s the heart and soul of both Lagos and New York.
