Came here for lunch with a group of 6 for lunch. We ended up getting 4 dishes with 2 sides each dish, 4 mocktails and 2 soft drinks. When parties are 6 or more a 18% gratuity is included in the bill our total was $110 which for all the food we received was a pretty good deal. Everyone left full and there was still unfinished rice. The service was good, just note that they operate on Caribbean time so the food does take a little bit more time. The waitress did check in here and there, but if you needed something extra it did take time before she circled back around to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not full when we went, but during a packed house, I imagine you will need to pack your patience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the food was prepared fresh and was very good. The jerk chicken had just enough spice to feel it, but not overwhelm you. The stewed chicken was nice and flavorful and a good dish for someone to dip their toe into African/Caribbean cuisine. The jollof rice was very tasty preferred this over their rice and beans a nice little smoky flavor very well sliced. The oxtail was flavorful and melt off the bone. Plantains they served were the sweet ones, I prefer the unripened plantains but these were prepared well if you like the sweet variety should enjoy these plantains. read more

We had barely left the restaurant before the experience started going downhill. I ordered a spicy ginger drink, but after bringing some of the drinks, the waitress said she would return with my ginger beer. I corrected her and explained that I ordered spicy ginger, not ginger beer. Two minutes later, she still brought ginger beer. When I reminded her again, she responded with attitude and finally said they didn't even have spicy ginger available. I asked waitress not to add chicken, okra soup came with chicken in it. To make matters worse, my son specifically ordered his steak well done, yet it arrived pink inside. The okra soup was actually good, but the jollof rice was terrible. We spent close to $250 on food, and the only thing that was truly enjoyed was the okra soup. On top of that, there was a $34 service charge added, while tax and gratuity were charged separately as well. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I personally would not recommend this place to anyone. I definitely will not be returning. Visit at your own risk. read more

Food was delicious!!!! Service was great! One thing I did not appreciate was the menu stated there is an automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 4+. We were a party of 2 . I never mind gratuity in fact we left extra but I just appreciate accurate information if you put a policy in place. read more

I got takeout and it was delicious. Oxtails, rice and peas with collard greens. Very good service.

I ordered Jollof rice and GOAT PEPPER SOUP. And these people sent me rice and 3 raw ass chicken wings. I ordered through door dash. What ever you do .DO NOT order from them without being in the restaurant. That was just plain lazy ( not to let the customer know you were out) and TRIFFLING to give me 3 raw chicken wings in place of the 25 00 soup I ordered. People need to learn Ethics in business. I mad ass hell! read more

Absolutely LOVE this restaurant! It is so hard to find good Nigerian restaurants, but this place was 10/10. The egusi and Jollof rice were delicious, and they have authentic Palm wine. The service was also excellent. Would definitely recommend to everyone! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a great place, got there before the rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoyed the service and food. Hadn't had a Red Stripe in a minute, it complimented the food. Jollof rice was a little boring, needs a kick. Overall I will go back. It's a nice change from the norm... Thanks! read more

We arrived at the restaurant and there was no sign or anyone to welcome us and let us know where to sit. We had to walk in towards the back and ask the bartender. After we were seated we then had to ask for silverware and napkins. My main concern was the quality and freshness of the food. When I arrived, most of the food was scanty and looked like it was sitting outside for long. This was 2pm so the restaurant had only been open for 2 hours. Most of the food we ate wasn't even hot/warm enough. The rice (jollof rice and white rice) both smelled as if it were spoiled. It wasn't until almost an hour or two hours later when we were getting ready to leave when fresh food was brought out. Instantly after eating, I started feeling sick and later vomited when I got home. I was so excited to try out the brunch special for the first time and even invited friends but it was a terrible and disappointing experience for us all. Then to top it all off we were automatically charged gratuity when we were barely served and our group consisted of two adults, a teen, and a baby. read more

Had a great experience here. My friends and I ordered multiple dishes and shared so that we could get a taste of more options. Planning on going back during one of the Sunday buffets. It's on the first Sunday of each month. The music and vibe were good, played a good mix of Afro/ Caribbean hits. The staff were kind and informative. We wanted to ask about dishes and suggestions and they answered with no problems. Even met the owner and spoke with him a bit. He walked around and greeted the guest. Also if you don't like spicy they tone it down because of all the feedback they were getting and people sending it back because of the heat; so I understand. If you are like me tell them you like your food extra HOT and they will accommodate you. The pepper oil I was given was great. read more

I love a goooood african restaurant and Lagz didn't disappoint at all. I met up with a friend of mine there one Friday evening and it wasn't to crowded inside and we sat at bar. The restaurant is quite big and spacious with a patio on the side. The bartender was attentive to our needs and was very nice and always with a smile. I ordered the Suya chicken which came with jollaf rice and cabbage. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the cabbage, OH MY GOD THE CABBAGE WAS AWESOME! this was a very good meal and I look forward to coming back and making this a normal routine of visiting. read more

Let's start off by saying I'm pescatarian. I feel under the weather so it was recommended to get pepper soup. This location was the only location that offered a seafood version which I was glad to see. I'm not in the mood to drive so I order Uber eats. when the food arrived, It felt heavy so I was excited thinking they loaded my plate. To my surprise they gave me a bowl of goat I instantly gagged. I feel nauseous because I did taste the soup and eat a piece of shrimp. There was barely any soup either! Mind You they gave me about three shrimp. I did not receive any catfish. I disputed the order immediately and I went to their website. Come to find out they're out of catfish for today. They should've just canceled the order instead of taking my money that would've been better. Why would you give someone the complete opposite of what they ordered very inconsiderate and not worried about food allergies or peoples preference, total disregard of the order read more

Old food served at 12:00 when they first open??? Seemed like the food was from the previous day and the chicken wings had feathers on them.

Best Nigerian restaurant in Charlotte! Vibes and afrobeats music always on point! Love the versatility of the restaurant: group style booth seating, bar seating, lounge area seating, and outside seating. They have a private room where parties or private dinners can be held. My favorite here is the egusi soup. The suya is always good - they even have a chicken option. If your avoiding meat, the salmon is delicious! Came in today to checkout DJ Jimmy Jatt from Nigeria! read more

So the food here is hit or miss depending on the day the time the staff the cooks is definitely hit or miss. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are never clean, especially the ladies[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the bar, depending on your bartender you might get a nice strong drink or you might get a water down drink, depending on the bartender. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best vibe is definitely going to be nights and weekends, specifically Saturday nights is the best night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are packed if you are looking to socialize if you are looking to actually eat, I do not recommend coming to dine in as a restaurant on a Saturday night here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lagz Restaurant - Suya Beef or Chicken Combo - African Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First time my husband and I tried African food. I ordered takeout Jollof Rice with stewed chicken and cabbage and beef meat pies. It took about 15 minutes. As soon as I got home and opened the container I smelled a hint of something burnt. After tasting the rice we came to the conclusion that the rice was burnt. Almost like the pot was scorched and the smell permeated the dish. Because this was our first experience, we didn't know if it was supposed to taste that way (I googled, it's not). The chicken tasted ok, but I was looking for some type of spice. It was bland. The cabbage was pretty good. The meat pies were good but a bit expensive for the size. They are smaller than Jamaican patties and come with some tasty sour cream. I threw out the other food because we couldn't really eat it or enjoy it because of the burnt taste. I live in north Charlotte and this is on the west side, about 20 minutes away, so there was no need to bring the food back, this is just a lesson learned. read more

Went on Sunday and the food was absolutely terrible. There was only 2-3 other people there which should have been a good indicator for me. My Nigerian friend was especially disappointed in the food and didn't want to finish his meal. We ordered Egusi, Efo Riro, moin moin, asun and Isi ewu. When he spoke to the owner, he was very rude and walked away while he was talking. He spent $150 on food and was completely disappointed. Unfortunately, we had to leave the food behind as it wasn't even consumable. Would never return. read more

I purchased takeout food amounting to 145 dollars. Unfortunately, all one of my orders was dry. It feels like I wasted 145 dollars on food that wasn't even enjoyable.

The restaurant has a very nice ambiance. The host/waitress were very nice and friendly.I was given a complimentary dish . They were little dough balls called puff puffs, that tasted like funnel cakes. She helped me choose a few dishes to try. These dishes did not disappoint.

The beef was very tender the takeout was great. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Went to the restaurant to eat with my friends, and I ordered moi moi with jollof rice, plantain and fish. The rice wasn't bad but the Moi moi (Bean pudding) i ordered from them for dine in was BAD and couldn't eat it, but the waiter told me that because the manager isn't around, they can't take it off my bill... and even though I couldn't eat it because it was bad, I still had to pay for it. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL. To avoid food poisoning, please don't go there. read more

If I could leave less stars I would. First the women's restroom was out of tissue. The food to be honest sucked.. I've ate authentic Nigerian cuisine-im married to a Nigerian, and this food wasn't it. To add insult to injury an automatic 18% gratuity was added to my bill. The menu stated for parties of 4 or more an automatic 18% gratuity would be added yet it was just my husband and I. I don't think waitresses are honest or is it the owners? It doesn't matter because I won't be back. Everyone check your bill before paying to make sure you're not being charged a gratuity and tipping on top of it. read more
