Rhapsody
Just like the name implies, you get nothing short of uninterrupted enjoyment at the Rhapsody restaurant. You do not just get to enjoy good food; you also get to relax in one of the most idyllic environments in Lekki. The restaurant has a bar, and pub, and offers both international and local contemporary dishes with fusion-style music to make your visit memorable.
However, the prices at Rhapsody is a bit higher than that of Kohinoor as the least dish costs around ₦3000 but it is surely worth every penny you spend. You can also book a reservation, seating service, or takeout, and it is accessible with a wheelchair.
The next time you drive along Lekki-Epe Expressway, look out for Rhapsody.

Domino’s Pizza Admiralty
What more can we say about Domino? Domino has already built its reputation as not just one of the leading Pizza’s suppliers in Nigeria but around the globe. The company is popular for providing Pizza with a yummy taste which is definitely a perfect meal after a long day. The company also provides both takeout and home delivery services which I find irrelevant since everyone knows this already.

Shiro Restaurant & Bar
Maybe you are in search of a Japanese outlet in the middle of Lagos? Then Shiro should be the first place on your mind as the restaurant provides you with the best Japanese Sushi and Asian contemporary dishes you can find in Lagos.
The unbelievable price you can get yourself Sushi here even makes it more convenient to visit Shiro; for with just ₦35 in your pocket, you can walk in majestically and make an order in Shiro (if you are charged extra and you do pay, you will be majestically dealt with anyways (lol)).
