Restaurant Kohinoor — Restaurant in Lagos

Me and my friends were on a vacation to Lagos for four days. We planned to visit old town during our stay and this very beautiful day we went for our excursion to see the caves and after the excursion we planned to visit old town. As it was approaching lunch time we popped in to this restaurant without knowing it will be a worse nightmare of our holiday. We ordered our food and some drinks and being a tourist we didn’t know the opening times and closing times(we are on holiday I don’t need to really think of timings) so we ordered some more drinks and waiter took our order and came back with drinks. Five minutes later he comes back and asked us to finish our drinks and leave as they were closing(which they never mentioned before taking order or before we sat on the table). We told the waiter we will leave as soon as we finish drinks and of course we can’t just down our drinks. So waiter absolutely went out of order and started arguing like a maniac. He also ASKED IF WE HAVE JOBS how dare! To top all this he mentioned he does not let Indian come to his restaurant and does not offer service/table to Indians. SO IF YOU ARE INDIAN YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED. - ONE WORD RACIST and please avoid if you can. Wish I can give...

Visited Kohinoor during our holiday to Portugal at the end of April 19. We ordered lunch and some drinks. The afternoon was going really well. We ordered more drinks when they arrived the restaurant decided to inform us they are closing in 5mins and we should drink up. When we spoke to one member of staff they were very abusive and told me i should know when they close. I was asked if I had a job and they didn't like serving Asian people and should not have taken my order. I have never been abused like this very arrogant staff/manager. They need lessons in customer service. Please reconsider before you go here as they don't like Indian customers. Very disappointed and cant believe how places like this can carry on operating like this. Disgusting abusive...

We were staying at Salty Lodge next door to this restaurant. We had planned to go elsewhere that evening but sat on our rooftop terrace the wonderful aromas coming from Kohinoor changed all our minds. We weren't disappointed, everything we had was superbly cooked and spiced deliciously. The service was friendly and efficient without being rushy or overbearing.

Our waiter explained that they use a specific type of chilli in their dishes, hence the particular flavour. I tried to obtain some from a local asian spice market but had no luck - so our waiter friend was good enough to give us some to take home with us.

Also great value for money.

We enjoyed it so much we went back again a few nights later. Will make sure we drop in...
