South Kitchen Lounge
South Kitchen & Lounge
TripAdvisor's top-ranked fusion restaurant in Abeokuta, serving home-style southern Nigerian dishes alongside an American-style seafood boil.
Located in Unit B001 of the Providence shopping mall on M.K.O. Abiola Way in the Leme area, near the NNPC filling station. The menu combines southern Nigerian dishes, such as Edikaikong vegetable soup and Afia Efere white soup, with an American-style seafood boil. Mama's Jollof, village mixed rice and milkshakes get good reviews, and portions are generous. Breakfast includes pancakes and waffles. There is live music on weekends, and reviewers say the setting has the feel of a high-end Lagos restaurant. Free parking, takeaway and private rooms are available. It is busiest in the evenings and on weekends.
