LAIM (The Fusion Place) — Restaurant in Ikeja

Finding Laim(The fusion place) wasn't difficult at all . About 7 minutes drive from Ikeja city mall when there's no traffic. Directly beside Cooperation Affairs commission (CAC) office in Ikeja .

There's a cafe and bakery and then the restaurant, which was where my friend and I patronised.

I'll say I prefer the Covid-19 protocols observed here. We used the elevator to the first floor where the restaurant is located .

We were welcomed with a smile and greeting by the receptionist who offered us warm towels to clean our hands after we used the sanitiser close to the door.

I'm like "ooooooh, you be giving me some Spa treatment here gal". My friend and I couldn't hide our surprise/excitement .

The ambience, I like. Thinking about a get-together, reunion of about forty people or more, a bridal shower or birthday party. This spot is it!

I had stewed Gizzard and Yam fries with a glass of Virgin colada.

While my friend had this dish of rice garnished with vegetables labelled a funny name I don't quite recall on the menu.

Since we were in a hurry to get to the cinema to watch a movie, 'The Prophetess' which was a good watch by the way , we couldn't explore the menu like we wanted to . I think the menu could be more robust.

Customer service was good. We kept getting asked , "Is there anything else you need ?".

This is the first restaurant I've been at and was served something to munch on while we waited for our meals to be prepared.

There's space to park inside but our cab wasn't allowed to park inside the compound. I'm not sure why though.

Aren't you gonna ask about my favourite spot in every restaurant I visit ?

The convenience! It was squeaky clean. There was sanitizer, handwash and ofcourse handwashing liquid.

Definitely...

I visited The Laim Fusion House Ikeja. So here goes:

The food: During my visit we had Chicken Yassa and LFC special chicken, the tenderness of the chicken in the yassa sauce was just so comforting as it melted in my mouth... Then the caramelized onions 🤤. It’s a Senegalese meal but for some reason it reminds me of Ofe-Akwu (maybe it’s cause I’m betrothed to an Igbo man 😜😂) I digress as usual 😅, back to the LFC special chicken which was cooked in 5 spices, I liked it and it sure tasted different and crunchy! One spice I could discern tho was garlic 🤤. My only con was that it was a bit too dry for my liking. The fries on the other hand were just perfect 👌

For drinks we had Chapman and a Latte cause well it was a rainy day. I’m not a Chapman lover but I enjoyed this. The latte was okay too but I can’t delete the fact that a cocktail glass was used to serve a latte 😩

💳: Chicken Yassa: N4,000 LFC Special chicken: N4,000 Latte: N1,200 Chapman: N1,800 Water: N500

Total spend for two: N11,500 (all prices...

Located right in the centre of Lagos yet away from the bustle of Ikeja, Laim’s ambience is the first feature that sucks you in if you’re looking to have a peaceful meal either alone or with company.

About a 10-minute or so drive from the ICM, the location is sure perfect for anyone on the mainland who is looking for something different. Easy to locate with an a generous parking space.

The service was impeccable as we were attended to by a nice waiter. His recommendations were not a miss, neither were the meals we decided ourselves.

I’d definitely recommend this restaurant as I’ll be...
