Cilantro Lagos

Had our departmental end of year party her and it was all shades of good vibes. They have a space for hosting events, and we went for their buffet option, which cost around 40k per head(this is inclusive of a mocktail). We all had a good time. The food was pretty decent. The staff were courteous. It was a good one and I would definitely revisit for a personal outing.

The ambient was great, the waiter and waitress were friendly however, the following makes the overall rating to be below one star: 1. The cutlery sets were already laid out for 5 seater table which were permanently set out instead of laying them on arrival of diners. 2. The pockets of the cutlery were dirty. 3. We were initially taken to a table where 3 laid cutlery sets were already used and not cleaned and we were expected to sit at the unused 2 sets of cutlery while they attempted to clean the used sets. 4. After complaining, we were taken to another 5 seater table and we ate while the other 3 cutlery sets were still laid meaning that we ate over the laid unused cutlery sets. Other innocent victims will be forced to use the unclean cutlery. 5. The 3 course meal was bland and tasteless. We did not get value for money after spending about N134,000

Cilantro is easy and accurate to locate using Google maps even though it's not close to the main road. Starting from the gate to the car park down to the restaurant and leisure area behind, the scenery is quite impressive. It even takes a step further in ambience when it gets dark. I give the scenery and atmosphere a solid 8/10. As for the food, I didn't have a variety but the ones I got were all well prepared. I had different juice selections there and I am guessing them were freshly squeezed because of their taste (didn't confirm though). The only con for me here is parking, not much space the the parking lot. But it's a worthy tradeoff. My experience here was really solid. I highly recommend! 💯

The food was okay, but it took too long to come out and it also didn’t come out warm. The ambience is definitely their biggest selling point very well decorated area. There was no corner of the restaurant that you can’t take a photo in, but the prices were island prices, I won’t sugar coat it.

The staff were polite, prompt and smart. We were immediately guided to a seat on arrival, and our orders were taken correctly. The starters and main meal were promptly served within 25 minutes of ordering and it was a delightful symphony of flavors. The mocktail ordered was also great. While the music was a little loud, it wasn’t intrusive and didn’t ruin the ambience. It was an enjoyable experience and I would love to go again. ✨
