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 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

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

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

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 would visit this restaurant again for the good food, but perhaps at a different time of the day, hoping the music will not give nightclub vibes. read more

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Food 8.5/10, Suya wings were seasoned well but no spice. Chicken Lagos pasta was great and so were the drinks. However, if you're not into the club scene I would go earlier in the day unless you want to hear music blasting and unable to have a conversation with your table. We had reservations for 11pm and had to pay a cover $25 women and $30 men. That I did not understand! Our waiter Hailey was sweet & welcoming!

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

So ever since 2018 I've been coming to this location that used to be called Tonic. Which was literally the best bar in time square, hadn't be back since covid and saw it opened up under a different name so I decided to try it out because nostalgia obviously and let me tell you, what a bummer. Management has no idea what they are doing, they charged me the wrong bill and instead of apologizing for their mistake, they were extremely rude like if it was our fault. My friend had a couple shots so they thought they could try to get away with it and when they realized they couldn't they proceed to call security and escort us out after they threatened to call the police if we didn't pay our own tab on top of the tab they had us pay that wasn't ours. The bartender threatened to throw a bottle at my friends head his exact words were "would I be an asshole if I threw this bottle at her head, I'm a grown ass man" these new people have no sense of hospitality and I would certainly never come here again. I knew it was going to be a problem when I was skipped 3 times in karaoke but didn't think it would escalate to the point that I had to write a review towards a place I loved for years. read more

We tried this restaurant in hopes of authentic Nigerian cuisine- my husband was born & raised in Nigeria and heard from a friend that this was a good spot. The atmosphere is definitely like a club and not family-friendly. We took our son along and asked if they could turn down the music a bit and instead they turned it up... As for the food, my husband said a lot of the dishes were not properly made to be traditional. Everything we had was spicy and he said that's not the norm for some of the dishes we tried. He was very disappointed after anticipating a good meal. If you're looking for a place to go out on a Friday night, this is that vibe. If you're wanting to take your family - probably not the best. Also located right off of Times Square so the streets are super crowded and busy. read more

The protocol of giving "Credit"!! I had a brunch for 30 people this past mother's day for my mom who's health was rapidly deteriorating. 4 people didn't show up from the 30 and was told I could get credit for it by coming back during their "Brunch" time on the weekends.I tried for awhile to touch base w/ the event coordinator who had helped me and she never responded! I had to go on their main website and emailed them and got a response from another coordinator who was helpful and made the reservation for this past Saturday. Imagine my embarrassment, when the waitress said she wasn't aware of the situation, called the Mgr. In charge who told me that wasn't their protocol! So I showed her the emails and she had us waiting for what felt like an eternity, and after a "speech" let us order, the irony is that my 2 guests don't drink alcohol so we didn't get "unlimited mimosas " I had 2 glasses which is my limit, so we didn't take advantage of the "Brunch" that I originally paid for! And because the 4th person couldn't make it, I asked for a jollof/ goat to go, Imagine my chagrin when I reheated it this evening and tasted to find it inedible!! Not only was this rice burnt, but it had a perfume/chemical taste!!!!! As you can imagine we had to throw it out!!! And they also didn't give me the dessert that was supposed to come w/ it!!! I wasn't going to complain, BUT I feel this was a slap in the face when I showed patience, consideration and kept my cool to be given a subpar service!!! NOT COOL!! PLEASE HAVE A PROTOCOL IN PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF SITUATIONS, BECAUSE THIS WAS CLEARLY A MANAGEMENT ISSUE!! SO AFTER I ORIGINALLY GAVE THEM 5 STARS ON GOOGLE I AM NOW DEMOTING THEM!! AND I WILL NEVER GO BACK! GIVING ME OLD, BURNT, PERFUME/ RICE WAS ADDING INSULT TO INJURY AFTER MAKING US FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE W/ THE SPEECH AND WAITING FOR SERVICE! read more

A fun lively restaurant in Times Square. We did a reservation at 815 on Saturday and the table was ready exactly on time. We were early, so we hung out at the bar area for about 30 mins. It was crowded! When seated I ordered suya margarita which was perfectly spicy. My friends had the fire on the mountain which was sweet and they seemed to enjoy it. We had wings (peri peri), jerk chicken Mac and cheese and fish tacos to start. No complaints. I especially enjoyed the Mac and cheese which flavorful and hearty. For dinner I had the jollof rice with beef which was smoky and spicy (very good). I also had sweet mash potatoes on the side, that was surprisingly my favorite. My friends had the jollof with fish and the fried rice with chicken, we also had the veggie mix. Overall I would come again as the service was on point and I found the food to be authentic and delicious. It is loud though and dark & they have hookah so it's a loungey/club-like vibe.

I don't know where to start! The music is pumping, girls are dancing on stilts, the bartender has a great pour, the staff is friendly and attentive. The entire place has a festive vibe and all the patrons get into it. Very lively and a great place to have a night out with friends. I've really sampled the menu so I could give a fair assessment: red stew with fish, jollof rice, moi-moi, akara, rasta pasta, ewa agoyin, mac & cheese, fried rice with fish, yam fries, sweet mashed potatoes, red snapper and salmon. The food ranges from good to just ok. Having had many meals in Lagos, Nigeria I was anticipating the dishes would have more seasoning and be a bit spicier. Be mindful that although there's an upstairs, seating in general is kind of tight and the music becomes increasingly louder as the night progresses. This interferes with having conversations. I've visited a few times and will definitely return, but mainly for drinks with friends. I also suggest making a reservation. This place is on everyone's radar right now! read more

Lagos TSQ - two plates of food on a bar counter - African Near Me - New York, New York

I recently visited Lagos TSQ in NYC, and unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The food was very average--nothing stood out in terms of flavor or quality and definitely didn't justify the prices. average Jolof rice, average chicken at best, average peppered snails...... While the music was enjoyable, it was far too loud, making it hard to hold a conversation and leaving us shouting across the table. Adding to the discomfort, the lighting was excessively dim, which made it hard to see the "bill details". The service was okay. Our waitress was rushing us to pay, handed us the bill and the iPad almost at the same time. which felt unnecessarily pushy. She also asked us to tip her in cash, leading us to assume the bill didn't include gratuity. Wanting to be fair, we tipped 25% in cash--only to discover after leaving that the restaurant had already added a 20% gratuity for our table of two, plus sales tax on the tip. This felt deceitful and left a bad taste in our mouths. Overall, Lagos TSQ is not a place I'd recommend. Between the average food, the overwhelming atmosphere, and the questionable billing practices, I won't be going back. read more
