Yellow Chilli Restaurant (Victoria Island)
Yellow Chilli
One of Lagos's best-known contemporary Nigerian restaurants, with seafood okra soup and oxtail pepper soup highly recommended.
Yellow Chilli, led by celebrated chef Kunle Adebajo, is one of Nigeria's best-known contemporary African restaurants. It has branches in Victoria Island and Ikeja. This one is at 27 Oju Olobun Close, Victoria Island, and seats about 170. The menu focuses on Nigerian classics with a few Western dishes. Frequently recommended options include seafood okra soup, oxtail pepper soup and yam porridge. The setting is more formal than a traditional local eatery, which makes it a good choice for first-time visitors to Nigerian food. Walk-ins are welcome; prices are mid-to-upper range.
