6 Reasons Soul Food Is Slowly Becoming A Hot Spot In Lagos.

1. Soul Food Is Located In The Heart Of Lagos
   
   Maybe Lagos has more than one heart, but this isn’t the time to debate that, as I am mostly joyed that this restaurant is sitting right in my backyard. Soul Food is located at 55 St Finbarr’s College Rd, Yaba.
   
   To and fro ride is N1000 and it feels so good that I do not have to sit in hours of traffic just to go to a restaurant on the island, so yaay to mainlanders.
   
2. It Is An Instragrammable Place
   
   I mean why else am I writing about it? I have seen the pictures from this place about 20 times now, their signature background is definitely a major side attraction. However, what most pictures wouldn’t show you is the floral walk-way into the restaurant and a well-decorated ambience with a glass ceiling.
   
3. You Come For The Pictures But Stay For The Food
   
   Trying not to get your hopes up when visiting a restaurant for the first time is a tactic you learn over time in Lagos, and especially if you are like me. I did not have any expectations for the food here as I basically wanted to see what the faux was about.
   
   We ordered the Prawn Pasta and Triple Meat Pasta, and they both tasted heavenly!! I recommend you try the Prawn Pasta.
   
   The size of the food is definitely worth noting as the foods came in a big deep bowl, I repeat, a big deep bowl and I was both surprised and impressed. So not only would I be taking bomb pictures, but I would eat to my satisfaction? Sign me up every day.
   
4. Well Priced
   
   Remember the big deep bowl plates in the last point? Well, they cost N3700 and N4200 respectively. We were going to order for one of the platters called, Solo Enjoyment at N4000 if we weren’t filled up with the pasta but we were.
   
   The Solo Enjoyment platter comes with chicken wings, yam fries, beef kebab, dodo sticks, pepper gizzard and sauce.
   
   Drinks cost from 1500 for Chapman and lemonade, while mocktails, cocktails and milkshakes are 2000-2500.
   
5. It Is Small And Quiet
   
   You know how it is an Instagrammable place and people worry about being in a crowded place or maybe bumping into people they know? Well, Soul Food isn’t the scenario, or at least it wasn’t on the day I went.
   
   Soul Food Restaurant is quite small and you would definitely miss it, if not looking too hard. There are tables for 2, 4, 3 and a large group of 6 and more.
   
6. Customer Service

I definitely feel like everything about this restaurant was well-thought-out and planned. From the decor to the menu, food, and even more importantly- their services.

The service we received was polite, in time and he offered to take some pictures of us.

This is a spot I would make my a my go-to for small dates, relaxation or maybe a girls night.
