HSE Gourmet

I think a good hack to eating out in Lagos is picking a time when it’d usually be less crowded i.e an early Sunday afternoon which is when we went. Hse is quietly tucked away in Lekki but it’s not too difficult to find following google maps. The atmosphere is cosy but because they have a small space, it could noisy very quickly. We had a very attentive waiter, and our food was lovely. I had seafood linguine and it tasted great. My spice level was just right for me, and i liked the fresh and herby taste it had. I personally think they could’ve done better with the seafood portions in it though. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

The food was nice and tasty, with the portions being generous. Couldn't finish the main course in one sitting. The area was nice and clean, and the service was on point.

This is absolutely unacceptable. I usually order seafood linguine, and this is more than the second time that it has been served with too much cream. I explicitly state when placing my order that very little cream should be used. However, there was so much cream that it spilled onto my bed. There was already spilled cream inside the packaging, indicating that excess cream was used. The manager sounded very unprofessional, telling me that I should avoid ordering the dish altogether. Meanwhile, this issue could have been avoided if my instructions had been followed. She sent someone to take my order, and when it was returned, it was the same dish—just watered down. I placed my order at 4 PM, and after going back and forth, the same dish was returned to me at 7 PM, still watered down, with no replacement! This is absolutely unacceptable, and I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I really love this restaurant so much. The food, the service, everything was just bliss. I had the duck lasagna and it was the best choice. It was too yummy and filling. I enjoyed the mixed berry ice tea. It’s the best I’ve had this year. My friend had the butter braised leg of lamb, it was too tender and juicy. I stole from hers and kept coming for more. Overall it was the very best. Highly recommend.

Very nice and cosy restaurant with satisfactory ambience. The food is quite good though somewhat limited selection, though it has grown significantly over the years though. Good service with pleasant staff. Would definitely recommend if you want a nice quiet place to eat in Lekki without breaking the bank, though you should be ready to spend a bit.
