Business Lunch @kutisbistro
When my business partner requested for a business meeting at Allen-Ikeja in Lagos city, I knew I had to explore a new restaurant there.
I checked online and found Kuti’s Bistro.
I decided to give it a trial.
Location: Google was right with the location but the restaurant shares a building with other companies (e.g stores) and there was no sign outside that direct people to the exact spot of the restaurant. Not even the name of the restaurant.
I had to ask people nearby for directions. I think this can be worked on. There should be a sign outside for easy identification.
Ambiance: The outside was just a regular busy environment but when you get in, you’ll realize it’s a serene pretty little space. You can actually go there with your laptop and do some work over drinks.
I also love the African feel. It’s a little space well utilized!
Customer service: Simply awesome!!
Food:
So I asked for their best selling meal. They recommended Chef’s Special and Yakata.
I ordered both.
Chef’s Special: Batted Fish Fillet and Prawn in hot bells peppers sauce served with special fried rice.
I was a little let down by the taste of the Chef’s special fried rice but I loved the sauce (batted fish fillet and prawn in hot bell peppers) that came with it.
I guess the special fried rice can’t survive without the sauce. Though I expected the special fried rice to have a good taste on its own.
Yakata: Spaghetti in a whiskey infused tomato sauce with snails, gizzards, chicken and fish. Served with fried plantain.
Again, I made a wrong choice. I am not a lover of snails so I was a bit dispirited seeing them in my food. This is not the restaurant’s fault at all! I should have paid attention to the details of the meal on the menu. I think if you love snails and pasta, you should love this meal.
Drink: My best part.
I ordered Oreo Milkshake. I loved it!! I almost ordered another but I needed room for the food.
The menu: This might be one of the most affordable restaurants I’ve ever visited. The prices on the menu are very affordable.
I would like to visit again. Maybe try their seafood pasta this time.
Good Food. Good Vibes
