Restaurant Review

Hits the Spot - PEB 04 Plaza, Plot 2027 Dalaba Crescent, behind PDP National Secretariat Wuse Zone 5, next to NAPTIP 

So this is a really cool place in my opinion. It's a quaint restaurant with a mini book store/library and they actually let you sit and read their books while you wait for your meal.They have decent food selection - Nigerian dishes and sometimes some continental dishes. Their menu is quite impressive but unfortunately not everything on the menu is readily available. What really got me was their drink selection. They had Strawberry Daiquiri, Margarita, Tequila Sunrise, Bloody Mary and some other mixed drinks. And get this, they were 500-600 naira a glass!!!!! This is probably one of the most reasonable prices I've seen in Abuja. The last time I requested for a Cosmo at a bar in Abuja I was told it was 2000 naira!!!!!!! Now that is just too bloody expensive. Any way back to the review. I tried the Strawberry Daiquiri and Margarita and I was not disappointed. Off course, it took them quite a while to prepare, I guess they are not used to people ordering their mixed drinks. On certain occasions, they also have free wine tasting. I haven't actually attended any of them. Overall, this is a very decent place. Check it out if you're around the area.
Cost - low - medium range, 200 naira and upwards

 So I cut out early from work (shsssshh don't tell my boss) to grab a drink at Hits the Spot. Had me a virgin Pina Colada. I could have gone for the alcoholic but I was already feeling guilty for leaving early. Not that It matters much here, there were a bunch of my co-workers there drinking alcoholic beverages. I still have my in built American work ethic in me hehehehehehe. Any way that's the picture of the Pina Colada above. Yummmy and get this, it cost only 300 naira. It's that awesome or what????

Nkoyo Restaurant- Wuse 2, K-City Plaza last floor

This is a classy restaurant with a nice ambiance.  Hardwood floors through out and very well decorated. The customer service is just the best I've witnessed in my little time in Abuja. I went shortly before the lunch rush and it was quite scanty as a result. A look through their menu revealed that this was somewhere I could afford to go to once in a blue moon or if a friend out of the goodness of his/her heart decided to take me there hahahahahaha. The menu consisted of local dishes and non local dishes. Once I found a cozy table, there was already a waiter there to take my order. I decided to go with the fish and chips (cost 1650 naira). They started me off with plantain chips with a very interesting sauce - tasted really good. After a few minutes, my meal arrived. The chips were crispy and hot just the way I like it and the fish was okay, I didn't care much for the mayo sauce and would have preferred a crispier batter. The waiters were very pleasant always checking in to make sure I was having a good dining experience- which I was. After the meal I was served a lime sherbet ( actually this was more of ice shavings flavored with lime). Bottom line, I would definitely check this place out again. A very nice place indeed.
Cost -  High range, 1000 naira and upwards

The picture above is a pic of the restaurant. That's towards the entrance. And the picture on the left is the Olive Bruschetta I had when I visited Nkoyo Restaurant earlier this week. Can I say yum!!!
