Eat. Rice. Repeat.
First off, I’ve a poisonous relationship with rice. I most likely want to remain off rice if I would like my summer season physique to be prepared anytime quickly however will I? After all not. So when my buddy talked about the Rice restaurant Lekki – a brand new restaurant that serves totally different styles of rice, I used to be bought.
It didn’t assist that a few of my faves had visited the restaurant and had solely good issues to say about it. I assume we will say FOMO bought me actual dangerous right here.
Rice restaurant Lekki is situated on the jubilee mall on admiralty highway they usually serve simply rice. Yup. Simply rice However totally different varieties and with totally different toppings. I checked it out over two months in the past and instantly knew that I used to be going to should do a evaluate right here. Partly as a result of I feel it’s an fascinating idea and in addition as a result of it’s content material (after all!)
I visited on a Saturday night with a buddy and was joyful to see that it wasn’t chock full of individuals. I despise rowdy eating places, and this could have been dangerous had it been rowdy as a result of it’s a extremely small and dimly lit area.
That was the primary shocker for me as a result of from the images I noticed on Instagram, it regarded like someplace I might take very nice photos. I’m unsure what I used to be anticipating however undoubtedly not that small. Don’t get me improper, the decor is definitely fairly good and tastefully finished. However I personally simply can’t recover from the scale, I’m sorry.
The waiters had been useful and affected person, explaining the way it labored and customarily strolling us via the method although there have been flyers scattered round to information us.
The rice bowl is available in two sizes – the common and enormous measurement. Each have fastened costs that cowl a alternative of two sides (for normal measurement), 3 sides (for big), a protein, sauce, toppings and the rice base (Jollof, fried, coconut, Ofada, white rice, and so forth).
What this implies is that when you choose the bowl measurement and the rice base you need, you then select the sauce, protein, and sides. All for a hard and fast value. You may get further servings of any of the edges or proteins however at an added value.

I bought the coconut rice- common bowl measurement with assorted meat, plantain and a few different issues I can’t bear in mind now, whereas my buddy bought Jollof rice. The rice in itself wasn’t something particular, It wasn’t dangerous but it surely additionally was fairly forgettable. Though, it’s a bit inexpensive (whenever you put into consideration the branding and aesthetics) so there’s that. The common bowl prices N1450 and the big prices N1980.
Would I be visiting the Rice restaurant Lekki once more? Perhaps. Though, I went again once more after church the following week as a result of I needed to deal with my uncle to post-church grubs and I knew he’d be enthusiastic about an all rice restaurant. I wasn’t dissatisfied, he beloved it and couldn’t cease happening about the way it was an ideal concept. I agree with him right here.
