If you want to leave Nigeria with indelible memories on your taste buds, then Yellow Chili must be on your list. Poor location, cramped parking facilities, but the food is worth the discomfort. Here you will experience food the way Nigerian mothers used to cook them at home, over slow-burning wood fires. Try their fisherman's soup, or the porridge yam... More

I have been eating at the Yellow Chili since it opened in 2004 and can vouch for the authentic Nigerian culinary experience that has remained consistently good . High quality ingredients, focused menu, decent decor at the heart of Lagos business and entertainment district. Try the seafood okra or the fiesta rice for a truly memorable meal.

I visited this restaurant to sample what everyone was raving about. The food was nice, however the meat was quite tough to chew on which I think is similar to all Nigerian restaurants. Food took too long seeing as I ordered the basic jollof rice with plantain. Once is enough as nothing special.. Also watch out for hidden prices if... More

Only 50 meters away from the Blowfish hotel on Victoria Island we could enjoy an excellent Nigerian dinner in a relaxed ambiance. You get only the best of the Nigerian food, such as the gelatinous ogbono soup with crayfish or the ofada stew which is possibly the hottest yet very tasty dish I had in ages. There is no hype,...

If you are in Lagos for business, you must dine at Yellow Chilli. A travel agent friend of mine introduced me to this restaurant. I loved the security guard's uniform with the parasol. You walk upstairs to the restaurant. It is not handicapped accessible. There are two rooms. One small dining area leads to a larger area that contains a... More

Great local food with a twist. Service could be better as it took 10-15 minutes just to serve our drinks. Exercise some caution in choosing food from the menu and ask for detailed explanation from server as not all dishes suitable for everyone's tastes!
