Ile Eros

3 Larry Adah - 4 months ago

I just went there for drinks, when I asked for their options for drinks, they kept emphasizing they were a restaurant and that they don't serve only drinks. Luckily for me, I went with a friend who happens to be a regular and I was able to get the drink sample option that was on their menu. Oddly enough, They didn't have a full menu in hard copy and the QR code to their full menu list doesn't work (I'm posting it along with this comment, maybe it's working now).

Nice cocktails, I particularly enjoyed the one with the zobo flavouring (useful tip: if you just want drinks at a reasonable price, order for their sample drinks, they usually offer 5 glasses of 5 differ flavours of cocktail for ₦5,000. Thank me later). I spent the evening in their outdoor sit-out, (cool ???? environment by the way) with a table sized Ayo game (I enjoyed playing the game). It's a really small restaurant with a good use of space.

What I particularly found disturbing was the bed bugs I found on one of their chairs (I found two bed bugs) it's the reason I stayed outside. I complained to the attendants (who were nice by the way) and they apologized and advised I switched sits (I know, there was nothing much they could do, they were just employees).

It's a nice environment (kind of expensive), lovely drinks, I enjoyed playing Ayo. An African themed restaurant, I just wish there were no bugs on the chair I sat on.

When I visited Lagos, I wanted to make sure I ate GOOD! So I asked a few friends to recommend places and about 3 or 4 of them all mentioned Ile Eros so I knew I had to try it for myself.

Let me just say the FOOD IS AH-MAZINGGG! I went there for lunch with my friends and the ambience was so relaxing. I even forgot to take pictures of myself or them. We had lovely conversations and the waiters were very polite, our orders didn’t take too long to come as well. It is like a mini art gallery, there is even art for sale there.

Now let’s get into the food as pictured

1st picture - Plantain lasagna, that understood the assignment. It was yummy, cheesy and proves why plantain is the G.O.A.T when it comes down to it

2nd picture - carrot cake, now I almost didn’t have this because I was full but I got convinced by someone who said it is the best I will ever have. You know what? They were absolutely right! It was indulgent, moist and my only downside is that it’s too small.

3rd picture- Puff puff party, this was the only thing that I found a tad bit underwhelming. It’s meant to be puff puff with fillings like prawns, chicken etc but I felt there were more plain puff puffs than the ones with fillings. So I won’t really recommend.

I’ll definitely visit again to try out more of their menu. If you are yet to go. Take this as a sign to get in there!

Uhm... not so great a menu. The spice in the meal I had was over-powering; greatly over-spiced. The sauce was a no-go; I think they were going for sour, but it fell real flat. Scenery? Nah. Overall, it all fell really short of my expectation going in.

Nice, serene ambience, quiet location, cosy feel. Ile Eros is a good spot for a quiet time out; the staff were polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items (thankfully); prices are very fair and the overall set up has a modern feel to it. There are several unique options in the menu (both food and drinks) and the place has 3 different sitting areas (one outdoors and two indoors).

On the flip side, the food took quite a while to prepare (approx. 25 minutes) and the food portions are small. You can however make up for this by ordering more than one item without having to break the bank.

My send forth, it was a long day of numerous activities and emotions so not sure I was able to fully enjoy the experience. But all I can say is a truffle jollof rice was on point the beef tenderloins especially the sauce great, the pasta nice. I couldn't finish the meal so it was better appreciated the next day.

I had dinner with my team at Ile Eros restaurant. It was an amazing time there. I love the traditional feel inside and the wonderful art work gracefully displayed on the wall. I couldn't help, but stare at the images as I ate.

Well, it's my first time going to a restaurant where the menu is not handed to you by the waiter/waitress as you have to scan the code with your I phone to see the menu. Unfortunately, I had an android phone and for me to check the menu, I need to download the app which seem like a long process especially when I am hungry and I just want to eat and go.

The waiter was attentive and got our orders right. I had the prawns as a starter and I liked the way the palmwine was served in a cute cup wrapped with palm leaves. I ordered for seafood penne pasta as a main course and it was a lot. The portions are reasonable trust me.

It is a nice place to be!

Ile éros - a must visit.
I’d tell you why in this review.

This restaurant isn’t your regular restaurant, it’s the feel of gourmet food with Nigerian infusion.
The creativity, technique u0026 aesthetic is pretty unique. (Price against all these? Unmatched!)
I could tell with every of my order the chefs culinary experience has gone beyond borders.

REVIEW

Plantain lasagne
I thought this was a combination of sweet u0026 savory flavors, had seasoned minced beef, a layer of plantain topped with Parmesan cheese u0026 plantain chips. Served with garlic bread.

This was crunchy because it was fried rather than baked. It was crunchy on the out u0026 tender on the inside rather than an overall tender texture.

I also thought the portion was really small. So if you’re a heavy eater or severely hungry? You may want to order this with a side.

Seafood pasta.
I’m sure y’all would wonder - pasta again? But yeah! Pasta again! ????
This seafood pasta was creamy, cheesy u0026 tasty. It had calamari u0026 prawns. What did it for me was the ability to balance out all the ingredients. None overshadowed the other.
I thought the presentation of this pasta could have been better because I didn’t think it would taste as good based off its presentation.

Spicy steak u0026 plantain skewers
I kid you not! When this was served? I didn’t think that was it. Because again? Portion was small, literally had like 3 pieces of meat on it ????????u200d♀️ but on the flip side? It tasted good. So Yh maybe I forgot about it’s portion after I tasted it.

Drinks

The jumping jack was an absolute fave! Mixed to perfection.

Again, if you get here hungry? Bear in mind wait time is mad long! The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu - I liked that.

My highlight coming here has to be the food. It’s really good. Technique is really on steroids here.

I’d definitely come back here! What? I’m trying everything on their menu! ????????
