Godaif Village

I’ve been going to Godaif for well over six years. They started off as a decent, reliable business, but their customer service has completely diminished over the years Recently, I ordered my usual prawn and chickpea salad, which now costs 28k. When it arrived, it was missing crucial ingredients—specifically the cherry tomatoes, which not only add colour but also sweetness to the salad. I called to complain, and although they said their rider had already left, they assured me they could arrange delivery. I told them not to worry about inconveniencing anyone, and they agreed to send me a new salad with the tomatoes the following day. The next day, I requested the replacement. This time, the salad arrived with the tomatoes…but without the prawns. I want to be clear: I’m not an unreasonable person, and I understand that prawns are expensive. But this was the last straw. The pettiness and mischief in deliberately removing the prawns from a salad that is supposed to come with prawns is unacceptable. Instead of being honest and telling me that the replacement would not include prawns, they sent me a bowl of sweetcorn, chickpeas, and cherry tomatoes. Had they been upfront, I would have simply asked them to collect the first salad and add the tomatoes. I even spoke to the chef, yet by the evening, all staff members were gaslighting me, claiming there was “miscommunication.” At this point, it’s clear they do not care about loyal customers or long-term patronage. They are willing to lie to make themselves appear correct, rather than take responsibility for their mistakes. I will no longer patronise such a business.

Lovely atmosphere from the entrance to the patio area. It is a nice secluded place to have a meeting or enjoy morning breakfast before starting the day. I enjoyed my English tea and muffin. The man at the front door who assist guests by holding an umbrella for us during the rain is a very nice touch.

Lovely place in Ikoyi. Very peaceful and clean atmosphere. There are indoor some outdoor dining areas. I was not allowed to take pictures of the indoor dining area even though there were no other patrons as I’m careful not to include other patrons in my pictures/videos. That was a turn off. Service was great. Lovely people. The food was nice.. I have had better and I think the menu is quite limited. I had a breakfast meal that actually nice but I feel like it could have tasted better. The eggs were quite bland. The beans came straight out of the can without any twist to it (I once had baked beans at Botannika that was spiced up and tasted absolutely divine as well as other places that add a little ketchup), not a big deal since preference matters. I enjoyed the chicken sausages although my partner hated the pork sausages and was not impressed by the meal at all. Again, preferences. But yes, I’ve had way better and more satisfying breakfast. Bear in mind that I was famished before having this meal so I would have welcomed anything. But I enjoyed the meal t because it quenched my hunger. It was forgettable after so I’ll give it a 6.5/10. Overall, I liked it. Not a place I’m eager to visit again as the menu isn’t expansive enough for me to try.

I went here for some peace and quiet and alone time and that’s exactly what I got. The pool side service and atmosphere was great, I got the 1/4 chicken and french fries with a caramel milkshake. It was well made and properly served. The waiters were very polite and attentive. I used their pool service as well which was very clean and the water was well tended. They keep the environment neat at all times. The only con were the flies I had to keep wading off my food (because it’s an outdoor setting). 9/10 place I’d be back consistently for the pool service ⭐️

I’ve always wanted to visit this “little village” in the heart of Ikoyi! Now I understand why it’s named **Godaif Village**—it truly embodies its name. It’s cozy, warm, friendly, and feels just like home! 🏡✨ One thing I always try when I visit new spots is **ginger tea** 🍵, and let me tell you, Godaif’s ginger tea is **heavenly**! I literally let out a little moan when I tasted it—it was that good. Every other ginger tea I’ve had now feels like a scam . For my meal, I had a **turkey and ham sandwich with chips**, and it was absolutely yummy. The sandwich was super tasty, and the chips were perfectly crunchy! 🍴 The place is a bit small, but it’s still a really nice spot to relax and unwind. For me, it’s a solid **9/10**! Highly recommend 💕.
