Spice Platter — Restaurant in Wuse II

Heard so much about this restaurant and the pictures on instagram were really inviting. I am in Abuja today from Lagos and decided to go eat there.

The ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant, neat.

The wait staff were not particularly welcoming. Our waiter wasn’t proactive enough to recommend specials or tell us what their specialty is.

The food, when it FINALLY came, was delicious. I had pounded yam and afang soup. The yam was real yam, not the dupe that poundo flour is. The portions were LARGE! I totally enjoyed my meal!

They didn’t have child-friendly meals like sandwiches, burgers, pasta etc. That wasn’t good enough as we went with kids.

The wait time was unnecessarily and annoyingly long. I feel the staff could do better if properly trained. The shoddy service and long wait time ruined what would have been an excellent experience.

But the...

Ok where are all my fellow Ofada lovers? Gather here this review is for you 😁⁣ ⁣ I finally got to try @spiceplatter famous Ofada sauce and rice and men it was worth. It’s not the best I’ve had but it was not bad at all. ⁣ ⁣ One thing I loved about it was they were very generous with their portion! I took the remaining sauce away and I still used it twice! The assorted meat was also a lot.⁣ ⁣ If you’ve been wondering where to get quality Ofada you should check out @spiceplatter it comes with plantain too. ⁣

Although I wish the protein had more of beef, shaki and ponmo it had a lot of liver and I hate liver. I hope they make the protein more assorted. ⁣ 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 ⁣ While I was waiting for my food they served very hot yummy puff that was when I knew I was sold! I love puff puff and this was awesome service for me 👏🏽 ⁣ ⁣ 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞...

I had their local jollof rice (picure below) when i went there. Trust me people, my taste buds had the time of their lives!!! The meal was so delicious i regretted not eating there all the days i spent in abuja cos i found out about this spot the day before i left; sad! My husband had their grilled croaker fish and vegetable and that was really good too. The interior is really peaceful; soft music playing and art on the walls. Great staff. Also, they can have your food delivered to you if you can't make it down there. The restaurant opens by 9am daily except on sundays when they open up by 1pm. This is a superb place to bring family to have local dishes that's why I'm giving them...
