The Dome — Restaurant in Central Business District

The environment is welcoming and slightly breath taking. I loved that Extra attention was given to the building details. The general setting of the "garden" is multipurpose so it gives you room for plenty options. The artificial waterfall is quite a piece of art. Little wonder we joined the people who were queuing to take pictures there.

The security men at the gate who were in no way helpful in giving directions are more focused extorting people in the name of selling nose masks which they claim are mandatory to access the premises but as soon as you buy it and get in you realize how useless it was because it isn't required, the environment is very spacious and people were swimming together in the pool unprotected of course!

The crisply dressed attendants on a scale of 10 I would rate as 6 percent professional. The -4 being their sloppiness in keeping you abreast on the state/progress of your meal order. I could have walked out at any point in between when I ordered and when the meal arrived cause though I got my drink in good time, it still seemed like I had been forgotten.

I cluelessly waited for more than three hours for just a serving of calamari. And Mehn was I disappointed in the meal? Why call it a peppered calamari in the menu. when it's not that! You see I'm Nigerian in every sense of the word, and when you say pepper, biko you should give me some heat!

Though the pool was very inviting, I was thankful I didn't come prepared to swim as I actually left feeling feverish for staying longer in the cold air than I had intended.

Lest I forget to add, though I might turn a blind eye to the price list of the Dome because of its location at the centre of town, I equally know some magnificent places with far better prices.

That said, If I should visit here again on my own volition, it would be majorly to swim and take...

In Abuja? Looking for somewhere to play games - bowling, table soccer and pool? Then, The Dome, it is.

It is located in a quiet street, in the central district area and it's easy to find with Google maps. There's a fuelling station a few minutes away and an outer car park.

When I heard the name I expected it to have an actual "dome" and I wasn't disappointed.

The staff are friendly and cordial. Due to the pandemic, you'll be required to wash your hands, wear your mask and sanitise your shoes (the part that touches the ground). I found that strange but it made sense.

There's a car park inside as well. The bowling alley is on the first floor and whoever did the planning, did it right.

There are places to sit around the alley, places to sit around the pool tables, you can sit on high stools by the bar or on comfy cushions just outside the alley. The bathrooms are really clean, smell great and are great picture spots.

It's best to go as a couple or in groups, to have more fun. You get 10 rounds of bowling for N3,000, a pair of shoes and socks that you get to keep. If you wear the regular shoe sizes, the shoes you get might be a little worn out.

Table soccer costs N500 per person and pool was less that N3,000.

Things to Note: Perfect spots for datenight, hangouts, and reunions. Not a great spot for family time with kids. You can't take your food or branded nylons inside. It's a bit dark inside the alley. There are only 6 bowling lanes, so if there's a crowd you'll have to wait a little. There's a staircase and an elevator.

Apart from the bowling alley, the building houses: The Francis Hotel The Summit Restaurant Paradis Garden - with a swimming pool. Nonis Pizza Parlour Camelot Spa Twins Cafe & Bakery Body Trust Fitness & Health Center
