Lagos Spot Nigerian Restaurant — Restaurant in Newark

Went to Lagos yesterday because we were in the area and it was the first to pop up on our gps and has a 4 star rating!!!! I really don’t know why. I would give 0 stars. I don’t usually like to bash or give bad rating’s especially on black/African own restaurants but seriously the place was disgusting. I almost walked and I should have. They hardly had anything ready like how do you not have your most popular dishes ready is beyond me. The place could be cleaner and as the lady was talking to us taking our order she was picking in her teeth with her nail 🤢🤮. Like wth. I was gonna walk out then me and my husband and I really wish I would have. The guy preparing our food has a disgusting bad attitude which also turned me off. My husband said hi and he gave him a disgusted look like excuse me sir we are supporting your business which is not good at all. $30 later and we were so disappointed. We basically threw our food out because I just couldn’t stomach it at all. It pained me to throw that food away. I did taste it but couldn’t get past the unprofessional nasty hygiene and nasty attitude of the guy, my stomach was turned for the rest of the day. I really wish we would’ve just said no thank you we changed our mind and left. Like how disrespectful to pick your teeth with your nails in front of us and then she was tasting the food she was cooking with her hands which we saw too 🤮. Like ma’am we just went through a whole pandemic folks dying and you still can’t practice proper hygiene. 🤦🏾‍♀️The health department should go inspect that place smh. The mean guy was also dirty ugh 😣 my stomach is off again just writing this review. I would not recommend this place and I’m pretty sure they have 4 stars because their fellow Africans support them or they have folks putting those positive reviews for them smh because ain’t no way 😣. I feel like if you can’t respect preparing our food correctly with proper hygiene and with love then you get a honest review whether it be good or negative. Do...

I went there today. The place was empty and quiet, no music or anything. The lady was kind, who took my order. The man who was preparing my food and got into a coughing fit. I understood, however, he never EVER washed his hands and was coughing while he was handling my food. Also, they microwaved my food and I don't know where it came from since no food was on display. The more I thought about it, the more I became disgusted. I took my food to my car, opened it and it looked horrible and dry. I took it back inside, left it on the counter and quietly left. The lady ran out to ask why and I gave the detail. She begged me to come for a refund and even offered to prepare another serving for me herself, but at this point, my stomach was turned. I asked her to keep the money. I wasn't nasty or rude and neither was the lady, but in this covid era, you CANNOT think that its ok to cough over ppl food and not clean your hands . You also should be serving fresh food. That's just gross. ...

Before visiting this place I called to make sure my friends and I could dine in. The man told us to come, our initial reaction was the man was not friendly at all, he seemed very annoyed taking our orders. He served our food with a attitude. Then a lady worker came in and instantly looked annoyed when she seen kids in the restaurant, she waited 5 minutes to tell me and my friends that we could not dine in. We asked for our bills and waited for uber because we were there visiting from Michigan. While waiting for our uber the lady basically kicks us out, so we walked by the door and we could hear the lady gossiping with other customers saying "they ordered all this food and didn't eat it" Very unprofessional. The food was rushed prepared and not good, the man did not wash his hands. I dont recommend anyone spending their money...
