My first encounter with Lola's catering was when I made the mistake of calling. I called to ask if i could order in advance as I work far away from their location and knew I would get there close to closing time (7pm). The person on the phone told me no we do not that and proceeded to hang up before I could even say another word.
A few months later despite this encounter I stupidly decided to go there because I was craving egusi. After travelling for over an 1hr i was told they do not serve any swallows or soups, they had ran out of Ayamashe and only had jollof rice and white rice (not even fried rice). So I ordered jollof rice + puff puff which wasn't what I wanted and went home.

How do we expect other cultures to learn about our food if we treat them disrespectfully? I have gotten used to such treatment at Nigerian restaurants but this was particularly bad. I don't say this to bash this restaurant because I really enjoyed the food. However, the experience makes it difficult for me to...

I was about to drive an hour to get there so I wanted to be sure they had what I wanted. I asked she had meat pie and if they had up to 20 (because I wanted to order a lot). The person I spoke to said she does not have the time to count or check. I was shocked because I did not ask her to physically count it. All she could have said is we usually stock a lot of it... or if you order ahead of time I can have it ready for x date and that would be fine. I could not believe that someone has the guts to speak to another person in such a way. Highly disappointed because I had seen...
