    Beautiful place, great music, and great food! Had reservations on a Saturday night at 10:15pm there was also a live DJ. The only downside is when i arrived it seemed like a lot of people were waiting for tables. I thought having a reservation we would be okay. We still had to wait. To be fair the place was super busy. Just needs more organization at the hostess area. Food came out at a reasonable time. We did notice that tables that sat after us got their food and drinks before us. Would visit again. Would like to try Brunch on a Sunday it looks like a good time.

    We had to wait an hour after our reservation time for a table. Hostess was horrible and they are very unorganized at the front desk as far as seating people.

    This is cool if you’re in party mode and not really interested in having conversation over dinner. It’s very loud but cute. The food was good but overpriced for what it is.

    Beautiful ambiance and great staff! But the food was overly spicy and burnt. All the appetizers were amazing but the entrees were all burnt and too spicy to enjoy. The drinks were also not mixed well. The potential is there to do much better.

    Hi. Lagos was nice. However, I hope you can take my suggestions, as I have visited many places and traveled. First, I strongly suggest that you balance the room acoustics. When the music outweighs your conversations, that's not good, "IF", you're an eating establishment and not "a club". In a club, yes...but you are not that. Therefore, get a professional sound technician. If you go to the Yard House restaurant in TS, it's a GREAT example of how they balance their music.You can hear each other and yet enjoy the music and the ambiance. I'm Haitian-American and love diverse environments. I like Lagos and think you can do much better with your acoustics. The way it's set now is as if its a club. It first stated with the bar. The bar attendant (I belive spanish...was sleepy. We asked if he was ok. He said he was sleepy. I DID not like the way he made my pina colada. I saw him use his hands to dip his finger in the liquer pourer. 2. I sat upstaris on the side of the high chairs. At first look it was great, BUT, BUT...folks are NOT mindful of space AND the set up allows for people to literally be brushing up and walking RIGHT against your table, stand RIGHT next to you. It's super imposing and annoying. I DID NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.. PLEASE work on that. 3.Overfried plaintains. Not good. I say be more authentic with the food. Add Moi Moi, Pounded Yam, Eba, etc. Try another grain of rice like the Basmati. I've been to Hill Kitchen and they have good Nigerian food too. 4. Not sure if the girl in the corner was entertaining and didn't undertand the point. If you go to Banana Island in Nigeria, they would look at that and say what is that form of entertainment!!! Not too many people paid attention, in my opinion 5. Calm crowd. Otherwise I enjoyed it and would go back.

    Front desk can be better little more organized, she never came back to sort out the seating for us which she said she was going to do. Didn’t like where we sat on 1st floor. The smell of Marijuana was little too much for us. Food and drinks are good not the best. Music was good. Definitely a spot for the younger folks and definitely not for an anniversary. I would recommend to certain crowds.

    It was nice, seating was fast. When it came to food and drinks they came on time and it was hot and fresh. I did complain about the hookah taking too long to come, it took a while which wasted our dining experience time. Other than that it was chill vibes. Server was nice.

    I love the place and the vibes was good but tbh, bad bad food. I really didn’t enjoy the food at all. My boyfriend couldn’t even eat two spoon of his food. The waitress was very nice . They can do better on their cocktails. I feel like they should bring back their old chef coz idk what they doing at the kitchen making nasty food . I was very very disappointed. It my 3rd at the new restaurant and I always order different food to see if it will be good but it all turned out bad. My boyfriend was very very disappointed coz he was very hungry and was expecting something good.

    Front desk staff was very very rude. She failed to acknowledge us a party of 3 for 10 mins while we waited. We arrived timely and waited 10 mins while she concluded a telephone call. No one else could check us in apparently only the lady on the phone is allowed to check guests in. Very irresponsible and honestly your front desk just tainted what would have been a lovely experience. Food was great; wait staff and other staff members were very attentive and so helpful.

    I booked Lagos for my birthday brunch. I was running ridiculously late (my reservation was at 1 and I didn’t show up until 2:30) due to unexpected traffic. Not only were the hostess gracious enough to move my reservation to 2:30 to accommodate me but allowed my guest to sit at the bar until I arrived. Our server, Rihanna, was energetic and friendly, providing laughs and suggestions on what to order. She kept the mimosas coming and checked on us regularly to make sure we were good. Highly recommend 10/10

    Yes! Lagos is the spot for real and authentic Naija food right in Time Square! Great location, fabulous ambiance, music, tantalizing portions and frankly just very delicious food (get the stew on the side). The drinks are sooo good..The service is outstanding and their team is super attentive. Definitely plan your next meal and night out in NYC at LAGOS!

    I thought the food was good. The music was very loud. It's hard to sit across from someone and hold a conversation at this place because you will not be able to hear them. The restaurant was very hot, no air conditioning and very crowded. I arrived at the restaurant about 45 minutes early so I sat at the bar for Happy Hour until my guest arrived. I was shocked to see that a 20 percent gratuity was automatically added to my bar tab for two beers. The bartender also charged my drinks at regular price (instead of the Happy Hour prices posted). A 20 percent gratuity was also added to my dinner tab. I did not add any extra tip since they already made the decision for me . Like I said, I thought the food was good, but my guest and I were uncomfortable with the loud music, crowdedness and overall hot temperature inside the building so I won't be going back.

    Food was decent, but was served a little too quickly which was ironic given that our drinks orders took a long time to arrive, and that was after having to re-order due to two of four drinks being unavailable. We also had to request water 3 times before being served. Music was way too loud, and the restaurant felt like a sports bar with lots of large screen TV's over the bar.
