Cilantro — Restaurant in Jabi

So I usually don't like to drop reviews because I know how difficult it is to run restaurants but I just have to drop this one with hopes that it will give the management an insight on what happened today since there was no Manager or supervisor on duty . We came in for a business lunch , everything was going well at the beginning, food came and it tasted good and then all of a sudden the waiters entered into a heated argument ( seriously shouting at one another ) it had to do with shifts. We became very uncomfortable and sent a message to them to lower thier voices but they ignored us . The chef came and even walked passed them and we were shocked .we had to pay and leave because it was almost looking like bottles were going to start flying in the air . I think this argument was between one abdul and Richard. Please kindly train your staff . They gave me a very bad experience ,they were even cursing at one another . Cilantro is not a road side restaurant ,the staff should be trained accordingly please . Ive been to cilantro in maitama and the staff were coordinated so I belive staff training in jabi lake mall shouldn't be rocket science. I will definately come back to cilantro , hopefully I would have a better experience next time. My...

Cilantro at Jabi Lake Mall is one of the best places in Abuja for a mix of great Indian cuisine and a relaxing ambiance. The lakeside view adds something special, especially in the evening when the breeze from the water makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Their butter chicken, chicken tikka, and garlic naan are my go-to choices, and they never disappoint. The flavors are rich, the spice levels are balanced, and everything tastes fresh. If you love vegetarian options, their palak paneer and dal makhani are also worth trying. The portion sizes are fair, though a bit pricey, but the quality makes up for it.

Service is usually good, but like many popular places, it depends on how busy they are. Sometimes, you get prompt and friendly service; other times, there’s a wait before you get your food. The staff are generally professional, but I’ve noticed they could be a bit more attentive during peak hours.

Overall, Cilantro Jabi is a solid choice for anyone looking for Indian cuisine in Abuja. It’s great for date nights, group dinners, or even just a solo treat if you want to enjoy a meal with a beautiful view. It’s not the cheapest spot, but if you value quality food and a nice ambiance, it’s definitely...

I've been visiting Cilantro Lakeview for 3 years since i have been living in Abuja. Their food is EXCELLENT! They have the best Cheese Naan Bread in Abuja. Theirs is Top-Notch and incomparable.. better than all their other branches. But its better you eat it there than order delivery. Their service is really really good and the waiters are helpful. The restaurant is still beautiful and clean. The last time i was there (boxing day) the Bartender was amazing, he made my friend and I some nice cocktails we haven't tried before. Just meet him at the bar and describe the kind of drink you'd like, he delivers. Cilantro Lakeview is super super affordable. Suprisingly affordable. We had 3 portions of Cheese Naan, Kai Chi chicken, Hakka Noodles for 2, and 2 beautiful cocktails. And our bill was...
