Cilantro Abuja

We went for a Dinner of 50 people, we were the organizers. We used indoors. The management was very considerate and helpful, we got very good bargain for that number. The food was great, the services was good, more than 5 waiters were assigned to us. They provided sound equipment at our request. They even have a standby photographer if you need one.

Consistently great food and service! Cilantro never disappoints — the food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff are warm and attentive. The ambience is lovely and serene; I especially enjoy watching the monkeys in the trees while dining outdoors. It’s very family-friendly, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that are beautifully set up. Perfect for date nights, birthday gatherings, or just a relaxed meal out. One of my favorite spots in town!

I didn’t get a chance to capture the environment because I was busy with work, but I ordered the naan and butter chicken curry for take-out and really enjoyed it. There’s also lots of space and convenient parking, which is a big plus.

I had the pleasant surprise of discovering Cilantro during my trip to Abuja. The place is absolutely charming, surrounded by trees, beautifully maintained, and with a truly lovely atmosphere. From the very first moment, I was warmly welcomed. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The food is simply amazing, with genuinely authentic Indian flavours. It felt like tasting a piece of India in Nigeria, an authentic and delicious experience! Another major highlight is that they accept international cards, which is quite rare in Abuja and makes a real difference for travellers. I’d also like to give a special mention to the manager, Ram, who was outstanding, a kind, dedicated professional who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. I will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it!

Cilantro, Abuja (Maitama) We visited Cilantro near Maitama—an Indian-style restaurant with plenty of space and nice surroundings. The food was okay, though on the pricier side, and overall it felt a bit costly for what was offered. The ambiance and setting were pleasant, but the value for money could have been better.
