I had a quick lunch with my family at 805 sometime last year and it was, overall, a great experience.
I ordered the Coconut Rice and Oxtail (it also came with a sauce). The rice was very very good; it wasn’t soggy, the coconut taste was very present, tbh, for me, the rice didn’t really need the sauce (that accompanied the Oxtail) - it was that good. I also loved the Oxtail, it was soft and tender and boneless (for the most part). The sauce was good but it needed a bit more flavor and the veggies were overcooked (a bit).
I tasted that Oha Soup and it slapped! Sheesh, that thing was beautiful! It also had ponmo scattered around 🤤
The fries, plantain and Chapman were regular. Nothing special but not bad at all!
The service was great (the waiter was very polite and helpful - this should always be the case but 🤷🏾♂️), the wait time was about 30 minutes, and the portions are relatively plentiful.
Can’t remember all the prices but I know the Coconut Rice and Oxtail was about 6000.
This is my personal favourite for basic Naija food like swallow and rice, because the place is clean, the food is tasty and the presentation of the food is always top notch. The ambience is good, they have a bar so beer and wine is assured. Their customer service is good but not consistent. They usually serve complimentary puff puff especially for customers ordering rice menu. It made provision for wheelchair accessibility. They have a toilet. You can even make payment via Fund transfer in addition to POS and cash means of payment.
805 Restaurant is the peak of dinning out in Abuja. Situated at the Wuse II commercial district, it offers sumptuously amazing meals for a good price. The ambience is lovely with a customer-centric decor. The place is nice spot for both romantic and family eat outs. The staff are also nice and courteous. Come dine with finesse.
