MINT by Eat Green Company — Restaurant in Lagos State

DECOR:

Decor downstairs was quiet and soothing. The transition from downstairs to the rooftop was underwhelming, bland with peeling paints.

Rooftop layout was nice, a lot of green though I just wished they would have pulled in a pop of colour here or there to give it some warmth and dimension.

SIDE NOTE: There was a Yoga studio on the first floor on our way to the roof top. I could see 2 females in the sports bra and leggings... is that a sight I want to see on my way to dinner, am not so sure.

FOOD: My partner ordered barbecued chicken and sauteed veggies with jollof rice on the side, then requested for a deboned chicken but but was served the opposite. Chicken tasted good as well as the other components.

I ordered king size prawn in garlic sauce. Prawns were cooked perfectly but the sauce was runny and I didn't necessarily get the punch of garlic. It really required seasoning.

DRINKS: I ordered a spicy pineapple mojito.. it was good but I have definitely had better. I couldn't taste the pineapple, all I tasted was pepper and mint leaves.

SERVICE: Slow. Though the place didn't have a lot of diners on a Sunday night, the food took a long time. I ordered shisha as well and that took forever too.

DAMAGE: The financial damage was minimal.

For a place that when you walk in gives you the healthy food and clean eating vibes, their offerings was rather confusing.

INCONCLUSION: Nice place but they still need to tweak a lot of things.

3star...

I visited MINT on a Sunday evening, the restaurant was cozy but I chose to dine at the rooftop. Got the menu (because meals are à la carte and I anticipated a 45 minutes delay) I placed the order for starter, main course and drinks at the same time. Drinks came first, got my starter in about 10 minutes and surprisingly, the main dish less than 15 minutes after.

The drinks were so good, chicken wings was juicy and the main dish was to 'live' for 😋😋😋😋😋😋. I must commend 'Esther' for her service delivery. She was hands-on, had answers to our questions and was very nice to us. I can't wait to visit again 😁😁😁😁😁

P. S - There are levels to how spicy your food can be (Level 0-3 or 4) and I loved that about...

Mint is a small very well run restaurant in a hidden part of lekki 1. There's a strong reference to healthy food, but the options are broader. The food is excellent, and the prices are moderate. Actually, the combination of price and food quality puts Mint at the top of Lekki's dining list for me. Ambience is only just there, and if you're looking for a little more flair on your outing, this may not be the place for you. And so, there's a very vibrant takeaway option which probably accounts for more than half the sales at Mint. All in all, Mint is a fresh take on fine...
