    We are visiting Lagos and decided to walk downtown and get some food. I made a reservation (wasn’t sure how busy it would be). There were only 2 people at that time and we sat down to our table. Another family of 4 walked in off the street—and were served first even though we were there first. We sat down at 6:30 pm and received our food at 7:30. Others who came in after us were served at the same time. I first started to think that we should leave, but there was only 1 server who made the drinks/set the table/placed the food orders/and served the food. It. Was. Worth. The. Wait!!!! There was a mistake on my vegan green curry (was chicken) but the order was corrected in 5 minutes. The food was so flavorful, spice was perfect, and the server was professional. My husband enjoyed his Jamaican mule. My red sangria was tasty. We couldn’t stay for desert (other plans), but we picked a GREAT spot for vegan/vegetarian options. A MUST if you are visiting! Thank you!!!!

    My family and I were in a mood to have Thai food in Lagos recently and stumbled across this hidden jewel. To being with we sat outside and the lagos weather and the crowd around made it magical. Staff's professionalism and kindness was evident from the first words out of their mouth & their body language. Then when the food arrived, the presentation was absolutely amazing. We actually took some time to visually appreciate what was in front of us and then took the first bite and the rest is history. My family and I can say confidently, this has got to be the best Thai food we have had to-date anywhere. We ordered vegan options. The freshness, flavor, presentation, and the environment, made for a magical dinner and experience on the last day of our stay in Lagos. So everyone, if you like Thai food, don't even think for a second....enjoy!

    I love to find places by coincidence… what a perfect surprise if you live Asian food. The coconut prawns were delicious, the spinach chicken tasty… we loved it all! The service is really good as well. They don’t have traditional nan but it is just looking for perfection 🤗⭐️

    The food was spectacular! The host / owner is super customer focused and friendly and though they are relatively new, this restaurant is a must visit and visit repeatedly! I had the lemonade and asked him to add ginger to it which he accommodated. the avocado salad was out of this world! And the green vegan curry was full of fresh veggies and amazing flavors! We also had the panang curry which was also excellent. Go here for sure if you are in Lagos! Oh and they accept credit cards!!

    One of the best Asian food I ever had. If you have the occasion, do not hesitate! I highly recommend the eggplant with pistachio, the association is exceptional! I never tasted a dish with this much flavor. The fried shrimps were also delicious. The sauce completing everything perfectly. On the top of that, the service is great!

    We came in for dinner with no real expectations and ended up being absolutely blown with the food quality here. Location: central Lagos, and very close to a street full of other restaurants and bars - makes for a nice walk after eating more than you should (which you will) Food: we ordered the Aubergine pistachio, vegetarian sizzler, a couple of Moscow mules, gulab jamun and the beetroot halwa. We are so impressed with how good the food here is. It is easily be the best Indian fusion food I have had. The aubergine was by far our favorite. The Moscow mules were also excellent and had fresh ginger (bonus points for that!) Dessert options were alright - I’ve definitely had better gulab jamun (these felt too sweet) and the beetroot halwa is a flavor that I think needs getting used to. Service: the waiters are attentive and friendly!

    Great Asian food hidden away in old town. Load of choice for Vegetarians and Vegans as well as meat and fish dishes. Food was amazing, great flavours. Would highly recommend the Sizzler and Green Curry. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely somewhere to enjoy good food.

    We were here for lunch a few days ago. Didn't seem too great from the outside, but we were surprised with great vegetarian food. As a starter we had some sort of sweet and sour tofu and it was the best tofu we ever tried. It's a bit expensive, but it was definitely worth it! The person who served us was extremely attentive and friendly.

    This restaurant was a hidden gem we loved to discover. It serves Asian food carefully prepared and richly seasoned in downtown Lagos. Really worth the visit! I recommend the Chicken Rendang, although everything we ate was delicious, even a tofu-based appetizer!

    The food was absolutely amazing. We have been through Portugal and we have tried many restaurants, but this one was one of our favourites. If you are there, you have to try "the sizzler", this dish was so good. We would definitely go there again. The waitress was also really kind and nice.

    Food at The Seasonal was sublime. The salmon was cooked to perfection and I highly recommend the aubergine dish. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was lovely and the prices are very reasonable. Its a little off the main road of restaurants in Lagos so make sure you don't miss it!

    What an amazing little restaurant. Outside were blankets to keep you warm during this cool spell but we still decided to sit in. Despite being fairly empty the music brought atmosphere as well as the extremely friendly service. The people who work here are so lovely and deserve all the support we can give. The food was FAB-U-LOUSSSSS. So tasty!! There was a huge list of cocktails too at great prices. Will definitely be back!! Thank you for a lovely evening!!

    Pleasant venue with fresh asian and indian dishes…we were greeted cordially and given a nice seat without a reservation. The hot and sour soup was spicy delicious and the drums of heaven were juicy in a tangy sauce. My date cleaned the plate of her cream covered eggplant while I heroically wrestled the chicken sizzler. It was definitely a two or more person platter. I think next time I will choose the spinach curry.

    Last Friday we decided to visit this Asian Fusion 'The Seasonal' restaurant in Lagos. We were greeted with warm welcome and the ambience inside was so pleasant. We ordered avocado salad🥑 which was the best salad I've ever had. The main course arrived right on time. I was eagerly waiting for the Coco salmon and it was beyond my expectations. Perfect flavours, Spices everything🤌. Overall, it's a great place with an amazing staff. Highly recommended.!!! The curry's will definitely bring you back to the restaurant.!! For sure gonna visit soon.!!😄

    The food here seemed to be a mix of a lot of asian dishes, Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Chinese. I tried the orange chicken and while it was delicious there was literally 5 pieces of chicken in the bowl!! Also it was in a bowel of sweet orange sauce. I felt this was to hide the fact there was very little chicken as this orange style sauce is very sweet so its not something you can drink with a spoon. So for me the food itself and the flavours were 5 stars but it was 3 stars for value for money and portion sizes. Service and presentation was great.

    Interesting fusion of Asian food! Great, authentic flavours. Love that they have select options (including vegetarian) and do them very well. My husband and I had the most fulfilling meal - special mention to the potato lollipop and vegetarian sizzler. Friendly service. Had a very pleasant experience! Will definitely visit again if we come back to Lagos!

    We ordered a number of items for take out. Both types of rice they sent us were mushy/wet. It didn't even look or taste like rice. The hot & sour soup was the only food that was enjoyable. Food was not as expected and all in all very disappointing. Not worth the price either.

    The best Asian fusion place in town. Fresh ingredients and amazing service. The orange chicken was especially nice. Along the Rendang. Well worth a visit!

    We are from the states (New York) and this food was unbelievable. We got the orange chicken and the salmon, and every bite was an adventure. The semolina bread was also delicious. The coconut rice that came with the salmon was so tasty for just rice! We were hesitant to eat Asian fusion food in Portugal. But the reviews brought us here and they do not lie. You won’t understand how amazingly flavorful the food is until you try it. Service was good too.

    Typical Lagos food. Totally and utterly average in every way, except price. I'm starting to doubt there are more than a handful of impressive restaurants in Lagos. We had delivery from The Seasonal a while back but I'm not really into reviewing an actual dine-in spot by their delivery one time. We ended up here as we had a vegetarian in our group and the vegetarian place we wanted to go to was closed for holidays. It was fine. I guess. Nothing was overly good. Although the vegetarian dish was super weird. It was this odd mishmash of random things. Overall inauthentic and strange. I ordered chicken rendang. I mean... there was chicken in it, but I don't know what definition of rendang they're going by. Mine was a bowl of grey slop. Totally unappetizing to look at. It tasted fine, but not like rendang at all. Just some basic European-style "curry". It had none of the spices I'm familiar with in rendang from Malay or Indonesian restaurants. Also, it was absolutely swimming in sauce. Like a soup. In retrospect, it was honestly far closer to a bad Thai green or massaman curry. I suspect perhaps that is what I got. I can't think of any other explanation for how you can screw up rendang so that it is completely unrecognizable. I also am convinced they have no idea what nasi lemak rice is. They served me some bland white rice with a bit of toasted coconut on top. At the very least, it should have pandan, coconut, sambal, egg and anchovies. Nasi lemak is a dish on its own. Please Google a basic recipe for it before saying on your menu you serve it. It's borderline false advertising. The rendang dish (+ rice) dish is so inauthentic and wrong, it was amazing actually. Not in a good way. It wouldn't be the first thing they got wrong. When ordering drinks, I asked for a Manhattan. (It is on their menu.) I got a lacklustre Old-fashioned instead, but I could not be bothered to correct it and wait forever again. I honestly don't know if it was the server, the bar, or the kitchen that is responsible for all the mix-ups. The coco prawns were fine. At least it was the same as what the menu suggests. No serious complaints there. The place did fill up by the time we were finished, but I can't see myself ever going back again. There are marginally better "Asian fushion" spots in Lagos. This is not authentic South-east Asian at all. Maybe their Indian dishes are better, but there are loads of places to go for Indian in Lagos.

    Came here after a couple days in Lagos with friends. The moment you walk in and it smells exquisite. The cocktails are good and affordable. The food is incredibly flavorful and there are good options for vegetarians and vegans. We have high standards coming from SF and NYC and this exceeded expectations. Highly recommend checking this place out.
