    I’m very happy with my decision to go to Lagos. I celebrated my 36 birthday. There, the staff was very accommodating, the food was amazing, the vibe was very chill, but grown and sexy. I definitely will be going back.

    A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
