Wakkis Indian Restaurant
Wakkis
A long-standing Indian restaurant in Wuse II, known for tandoor dishes and vegetarian options, and a favourite for expat dinners.
Located at 171 Aminu Kano Crescent in the Wuse II district. Reviewers describe it as Abuja's signature old-timer, and it has long ranked near the top of Tripadvisor's city list. The menu centres on the tandoor oven, with tandoori chicken, chicken masala curry, prawns and lamb dishes. Vegetarians can order vegetable fried rice and stir-fried cheese. The two-storey wooden interior is lively and draws many expat guests, and it is often the dinner stop before heading to the bars in Wuse II. Prices run on the higher side, and it gets hot in summer.
