Bobby was the best!! Great service, music, and food..very diverse crowd with kind people everywhere

This is a multi-floor bar, restaurant, and lounge. I came with a big group. They checked IDs at the door and let everyone in without issue. Even though we were just having drinks and not eating, they let us sit at the tables on the second floor. The music was great. Lots of afro beats. Drink service was fast. read more

This place just finds new ways to aggravate me. I have dined at all 3 floors of this space, including with a friend who did the mural on the wall of the 2nd floor so I don't take making this review lightly. I arrived at 1:12 PM to place an order to go. The guy at the front desk told me to order at the bar. I go to order at the bar, tried to pay with an app they have a partnership with and the bartender says "we don't accept Google or Apple Pay." I reiterate that I am not trying to pay with either, just provide the check and I'll pay with the app. He tells me he has no idea about that so I should speak with the manager at the end of the table. I do, she explains it to him and I finally place my order. I'm told that it will take 15 to 20 minutes, and at this point it is 1:20 PM. I go to the CVS across the street, shop and come back 20 minutes later and the food is not ready. The people I arrived with the first time have been seated and they have their food. I ask for an update and he tells me it's coming. A girl who arrived when I returned has also been seated at the bar, and the tacos she ordered, just like me, have also been delivered to her, and my food is nowhere to be found. The bartender asks the person who delivered her food where mine is, and he tells him they're making it now. At this point it is 1:50 and I have already over extended my lunch. The food comes at 1:55 PM, I'm late for work and none of this would be as painful if the bartender didn't add a gratuitous tip of $12 to the bill just for taking my order and doing nothing else. I'm never going to complain about tipping or helping people out for doing actual work, but you can't force tip yourself 21% and still not have my food on time. If you're going to do that, there's a certain expectation that comes with it. This is all on top of charging $32 for an appetizer that is extremely tiny (attached below), barely ever available so you have to call and have the kitchen if it's available and $24 for 3 tacos. They're losing the plot and it seems every visit gets worse and worse. You're not communicating partnerships with those who will be dealing with customers, adding mandatory gratuity and providing poor customer service. That is the only reason that is prompting this review because this is the 3rd bad experience I have had in a row. read more

Lagos TSQ - Tiny peppered snail for $32 - African Near Me - New York, New York

This place is very expensive but that's to be expected given the location. Came here with a friend and it was our first time. The location had a good vibe but way too loud. I appreciated that they had sports on large screens. We came here with no reservation but had no issue being seated. Our servers were quick and attentive. I ordered the Jollof rice with beef and my friend got the red stew. Unfortunately we both had mixed feelings about our meal. For starters, my Jollof rice was great however I thought the beef would be mixed in. It was spicy with it getting spicier with each bite. Regardless it was very expensive for the little bit of rice you get. You have to order one of additional sides to make it worth it. Unfortunately that just drives the price up. The beef was good and tender but nothing special. There wasn't anything unique about it that stood out to me. Similarly my friend was also got the same beef dish and felt the same. Speaking of, she got the Red Stew and was underwhelmed. It felt more like a spicy sauce than a stew. You could eat it with a fork. She also wasn't much of a fan of the rice but admitted she had a personal preference for sticky rice. The beef was also outside of the "stew". In the end, we both enjoyed our meals and had leftovers to take home. The food for all of my complaints was good. Even she thought so but just wasn't special. Made me instead want to bring her to a different African restaurant in the future. I would this place is great as a lounge with solid food. Given that it specializes in West African food is a good bonus. Makes it very unique and worth checking out. Though I suspect that they're better options in the city for that. Would we go again, probably not. read more

We stopped in one afternoon without reservations but just sat at the bar. The food was seasoned well and tasty. The chicken suya was pretty good but a little too salty for me. I enjoyed the akara sliders with stew but I didn't eat the bread- hubby dipped it in the stew though . The akara was very good. We also enjoyed the rice and stew. Just be sure they get your order right. We ordered the akara with stew and they bought out the rice and stew with it. We didn't realize it was incorrect so we wound up spending more than we had anticipated. It was delicious anyhow but about $20 additional. The ambiance is really beautiful/ dim and sexy vibe for sure. The drinks were good and a bit strong. Food was a little spicy but very tasty! We will definitely return to try more items on the menu. Oh and the music was great! Afrobeats! read more

We arrived 10-15 minutes early for a 7:30 appointment. We were ID'd at the front door by security and then entered the restaurant. I took a star off here because we were waiting quite a while as there was no host at the front. There were people to and from the host stand but we were not greeted nor did it seem like any of them went to connect with the host to let them know there were patrons waiting to be seated. The ambiance is moody and doesn't feel like Times Square which was nice. They have a huge bar that was quite crowded. We were seated upstairs and our host was very kind. She was able to provide great recommendations. We had the Knicks drink from the happy hour menu which was good frozen drink in orange and blue!! but they overfilled the glasses so there ended up being quite a mess. However, the waitress and other servers noticed and were helpful in cleaning it up. The food... spectacular. We started with the crispy calamari which came with a spicy red sauce, idk what it was but it was really good. For mains, my boyfriend ordered the Lagos pasta and I the peri peri chicken. Everything was so tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and it was a good size portion as both of us went home with leftovers for the next day. I would definitely recommend but only if you don't have somewhere to be urgently. read more

I've been hesitant to dine at Lagos TSQ mainly because I don't feel the need to travel to TSQ and West African Food is good but not my first choice . I was pleased at having the accommodations to order from the brunch and dinner menu . Increase my appetite of foods . I ordered their crab Mac and cheese, beef bacon, and asparagus . That was the perfect meal for me . I wanted to try their pancakes but that would have been over doing it . lol I added the bottomless 90 minute mimosa /belini brunch beverage . They followed the assignment, " light skin" mimosa only . I also showed up with a few other friend girls and a time was had . Great food and everything is funny after a few drinks lol . I enjoyed my brunch at Lagos TSQ. I'm not sure if and when I will return only because I try to stay away from Time Square ‍ read more

I had the best time at Lagos TSQ. I made sure to place a reservation prior. We were initially seated downstairs but requested to be upstairs since it seemed more lively. For my drink, I ordered ikoyi frose which was very sweet and sugary but still pretty strong for a frozen drink. For food, we ordered the asun tacos. I thought they would've been soft tortillas but they actually are crispy/hard shell. Usually not my preference but it actually paired really well! The goat meat was braised, perfectly tender and very flavorful! We also ordered the peri peri chicken wings and goat meat stew. Also very good choices! The stew was a great portion, savory with peppered spices. The ambiance inside was great. Very lively, good crowd. I would definitely recommend checking out this location! read more

The goat soup was sooooo spicy but very good if you like your mouth on fire. The peri peri chicken was not my favorite. A bit dry and the lemon pepper flavor wasn't really coming thru. Service was good. No complaints. The noise level wasn't too bad considering it's right by Times Square. The music was great. Didn't like sitting next to people smoking hookah though. They should have separate smoking and non smoking sections. read more

I'm went to Lagos TSQ on a recommendation from a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The restaurant was beautiful, the music was good, and the food was great. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink along with jollof rice with chicken and my meal didn't disappoint. The restaurant is right by Times Square and easy to get to which is a plus. There was also security at the door which made the establishment feel secure. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something good and different to eat while sightseeing in NYC! read more

The food is full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I love that they use lots of spices to enhance their dishes. The atmosphere was very loud and made it difficult to have conversations due to loud music.

I came here to celebrate the union of my two friends. We were part of a private dinner party. I was not thrilled by the service - felt they could've had more servers to assist but instead it was one lady managing a crowd. The drinks were good but everything was slow. Even a glass of water. I was also disappointed in the Lagos pasta... the meat was a chicken thigh. Just plopped on top and not much pasta sauce. The lamb was tasty though. read more

I went to Lagos last night. I made reservations although they do accept walkins. This restaurant exceeded my expectations. This spot was stunning. It has two levels.I love the decor, it was so luxurious and charming. I love the soft cushion chairs with gold trimming and the gold silverware was stunning. It had one of the biggest bars with 5 to 6 large tvs. The lighting set the mood capturing the beauty and essence of the place. The serve was amazing. From the time I walked in the hosts were warm and friendly. My friend and I choose to sit downstairs. As I sat I was at awe and blown away by the beauty of the restaurant. Our waitress Rawan was fantastic. She was sweet, friendly and really knew the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We ordered two Lychee Martinis from the happy hour menu. The Lychee Martini had house vodka, lychee puree, cream of coconut and elder flower liqueur. In addition to the drinks, I also ordered the beef sliders from the happy hour menu too. The beef sliders came with american cheese, sauteed onions and spicy mayo. The sliders were so delicious. From the caramelized onions and the perfectly cooked burger on a sweet roll and the cheese was just another touch added to the burger. Who doesn't like a slider with cheese. Some of the best beef sliders I have ever had. The first bit was amazing that I wanted to savor every bit. My friend ordered another Lychee Martini while I ordered Lekki Margarita with Coconut flavor. Rawan our waitress, recommended this drink and I see why. It was a decadent, rich and balanced Martini with Tamarind on the rim. So good I ordered another one and my friend joined me too. We were in love with the drinks. We did ordered more food. I ordered Mac and cheese with crab meat and BBQ wings. The Mac and cheese came in a cast iron pan. That Mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful. It was cooked perfectly. The wings were good too. My friend ordered Jollof Rice, slow cooked one-pot rice, tomatoes, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet and ginger with Goat meat. The Goat meat was nice and tender. The Jollof Rice was full of bold, spicy, tasteful flavor. She also ordered Calamari which came with red stew aioli, spicy mayo. This restaurant hands down capture the Caribbean but most of all the African favors and spices. I was very impressed with the presentation and execution of the dishes. The managers checked in to make sure how everything was. Overall, the staff was terrific. This restaurant by far has some of the best African food I ever had. I will definitely be back. read more

Ambience: 10/10. Music was on point. They had a live DJ who played all the right songs. Very entertaining with the oldies and new songs as well. A lot of places to take pictures. Cute flowery walls and great lighting. Service: was good. At first we were waiting for a server but eventually we got one, Anthony, who was really attentive. Food: Food was okay. I wish It had more of an authentic taste but it got the job done nonetheless. I definitely didnt leave hungry so kudos to them! read more

I went to this place for a birthday celebration and/or it was SUPER busy. So many birthdays and other events happening simultaneously. The space itself is beautiful, the décor the high ceilings and even the open French doors in to Times Square, great for ambience. I saw different platters coming out in folk's food. Looking more American than African, so I've decided to go with an appetizer and azobel. The Zobo was absolutely delicious. Tropically fruity, heavily gingered and very much so Naija style. The fries were warm & basic with the little suya seasoning. My friend had a burger with an oddly pale bun that he said tasted like a sweet dinner roll. Maybe it's a special type. Meh... solid 3. Service is where things get a wonky. 20% gratuity is automatically added to your bill, so it seems there is no incentive for personable or prompt service. Waiting 35 minutes for water, an additional 30 for non-alcoholic bevs and 35 more minutes on top of that for... a burger, fries, and plantains is wild. The contradicting statements, menus & prices were off putting, resulting in half our party canceling. Be prepared to yell the entire time with the music blasting on the top floor. We ended up at the bar to continue our celebration in a less intense setting. Thankfully it was less of a nightclub sound system. I was nursing a headache the next day. read more

The food and drinks here are fantastic! The African beer and the froze were wonderful and was great on a hot day. We ordered the red snapper with peri peri sauce and the jollof rice with fish. We also ordered the snails. The snails were very unique and delicious, they were amazing. The jollof rice was excellent and paired wonderfully with the accompanying sauce and fried fish. The red snapper with peri peri was incredible and is enough for two people if you order an appetizer. Overall 10/10 incredible food! read more

I went to the website and saw that this place had a strict dress code, no sports wear or sneakers, etc only to find people dressed veryyy casual here! I would have gladly swapped my heels for my Jordans, especially with how long we had to wait standing by the bar before we were seated upstairs. I didn't have much to eat here and didn't get a drink. I will say that I enjoyed the calamari, and the wings. The platter offered a bunch of diff wing flavors- the jerk was my fav. The fries were cool too. Although the Jollof rice seemed to be a hit, l personally wasn't a fan. The Smokey flavor didn't hit right for me. If you are looking for a club type of vibe with loud music, hookah and decent food this is your spot. I can't say whether or not l'll come back. If I was invited, sure... but I don't think it's a place I'm highly anticipating coming back too. Personally, not quite my scene anymore when I'm looking to have dinner. A party...maybe read more

On Saturday night 7/25/26, going into Sunday 7/26/26 morning around 3:30am, I arrived at Lagos expecting a quick drink at the bar. They advertised it closes 4:00 am however, it was a full house at 4:00am. To paint the picture, I walked in with my cousin and her friend. Before our purses were down, the woman bartender seemed to be in a rush to get our drink orders and did not welcome us with any kindness. We decided to stay because we were under the expression that since it was close to closing in 30 minutes, she needs to hurry and take our orders, despite her being unwelcoming. We all initially requested a mixed drink. The bartender with attitude and aggression she said no mixed drinks, just shots. My cousin then did not order anything because a shot would be too strong for her. My cousin friend and I then ordered two shots but, we should have asked for the price first because the shot of vodka was $30. I never in my life paid that much, once we found out the price, we no longer wanted the shot. We denied the shot but, the bartender said we can't do that, so we paid. People started to come into Lagos after us and to our surprise, were ordering mixed drinks. We physically saw the bartender make around 10 mixed drinks for others that casually came in closer to 4am. I then asked another bartender guy, were they not doing mixed drinks anymore because we were pressured into only ordering a shot, and he replied to me and said it's "Lagos night". It didn't directly answer the question but clearly the woman bartender lied about no being to be able to take a mixed drink order. She never again came to the side of the bar we were at again as if she was avoiding us. We all felt she discriminated with us for some apparent reason. My cousin didn't have anything which ruined her mood, and her friend and I mood was ruined because we paid for an overpriced shot when we could have order something we actually preferred. That was very weird, odd, and strange and I would not recommend this place. Not friendly, hostile environment. read more

I came here for an early dinner with a party of 4 on a Saturday. I was put off by the amount of security at the front door; ID checks I get. But why is there facial recognition technology being used, and without warning? Not exactly a "warm" welcome. We ended up having to wait for the 4th person before we were seated, so keep that in mind when you're making plans with that friend who's always late! We ordered the Asun and Suya to start. Both were very good but the Asun was my favorite; such a tasty dish and the spices were perfect. For the main, I shared the Roasted Red Snapper and Lagos Salad with someone, and also had the Yam Fries and plantains on the side. Everything was very good. I especially liked the stew that came with the yam. I tasted the Lagos Fried rice and that was also very good. The spice level is perfect for anyone who likes spicy food; enough for you to feel it but not too much where you can't enjoy it. A word about the atmosphere: this is definitely a turn-up/party spot. They had 2 djs spinning and even had dancers and photographers coming around. They also offered us hookah. It was too loud for our tastes, but we are older and were really looking forward to catching up with each other. We ended up shouting the whole time. Once we had a drink it didn't bother us too much, though lol. This would be a great spot to enjoy a celebration or to grab food before going out to a party/club. It's on the pricier side (the cocktail I ordered was $22!),but that is to be expected in Tims Square. The service was decent. All in all, I had a good time and the food is excellent. I just wouldn't come here for a romantic dinner or to catchup with an old friend. read more

Love the decor, and the staff is attentive. The first, second, and third floors were full, and I was surprised for a Thursday night. Every Thursday, it's ladies' night with a live broadcast with Dj Funk Flex and Dj Young Chow. The young lady Kayla was working the champagne gown, which you are greeted with a glass when you walk in. It's my boos bday, and I made reservations after he declined STK. I asked to be seated upstairs when we arrived because that's where it's @. I ordered the Ofada stew with white rice, which was good. My babes ordered the Rosted Red Snapper, which was tasty as well. For drinks, i had the frosè which I had before, and I wish they would fill it to the top. 20% automatic gratuity is wild, and drinks are overpriced. The DJ was good, and we were Vibing; the only reason I would go back. I forgot i asked for a bday cake, and they brought it out with a sparkler and a sign, which surprised me; I appreciated that. The cake was good. If you're looking for a good time and good food, def visit lagos. read more

This place is great for brunch! I don't know how authentic the food is but it tastes amazing! The drinks never dissapoint but can be pricey. The chairman drink is my favorite. I suggest making reservations because there is always a long wait if you don't have one. They play a mix of afrobeats, reggae, hiphop music. They also offer hookah. It's hard to find a place with good food drinks music and hookah all in one. So if that is what you are looking for, this is a good option. read more

I visited Lagos this past sunday 4/12/26 for a friend's birthday brunch. We were seated for our reservation on time, and the staff were friendly and accommodating upon atrival. The flow of customers was consistent but I would not say it was packed. There was one large party that left and one that arrived while we were there. Our reservation was for 2:15, so quite a bit earlier than the brunch rush. We were seated in a booth across from the bar. Unfortunately when my table's food arrived mine did not. The waitress brought the food out in two rounds back to back as it was a party of 7. She never acknowledged that my dish was missing but when she came back around I reminded her thinking maybe she forgot. She replied that she was aware and notified the kitchen. She continued to make her rounds, dropped food off at other tables and chit chatted with co workers. I continued to look around and she didn't appear to have any urgency regarding the fact that my dish was still missing. Eventually when she came over to our table after approximately 15-20 minutes of waiting, I inquired about my shrimp and grits again to which she apologized stating although she had notified the kitchen it was held up due to another large party upstairs. I remarked that this was unacceptable as that would have held up our entire order, not just mine. She kind of shrugged her shoulders and sort of implied there was nothing she could do. Although she was not rude she was a bit dismissive about the whole thing. At that point my party was nearly done with their food and I told her to forget the dish and please remove it from the bill. She said ok and immediately left, offered no resolution, never offerred to go check in and see how much longer, maybe there was an appetizer or something that can be brought out quickly she could have offerred...nothing. She returned a while later to confirm she took it off the bill and it was all set. Unfortunately, I was not all set and for this reason won't be returning I tried a piece of a slider and some jollof rice from one of my friend's plates and what I could taste of the food it was good. Sincerely, A girl who went back to CT hungry and dissapointed. read more

The worst service I ever received at a restaurant. I went here for my birthday on 2/12 and I would not recommend this place to anyone. We waited forever to be seated and another forever to be serviced. The waiter was rude and unprofessional from the moment he came to our table. From cussing, to sitting down at the table with us, to complaining about his job, the entire experience was unprofessional. Once he finally took our orders, water was brought to our table about 30 minutes after us already sitting there. The food was dry, cold and my order was incomplete. The waiter never attempted to fix this or check on our group, I had to go to the bar to fix my own order. The photographer was also very rude and made several smart remarks to my group which was all women. He snatched photos from my friend's hands, invaded our personal space and got into an argument with another friend of mine. He then proceeded to send me a nasty email refusing to send the photos I paid for. The restaurant responded to this by trying to rush us out of the restaurant and refused to bring a manager to reconcile the situation. read more
