On sunday the second of the february 2025, i, my sister and friend decided to go out more often this year 2025. We then decided to go for a buffet in a restaurant at Lekki called the roof top boardroom bar at ikate.
We heard about this restaurant from a colleague of mine who was there in January, and her experience was a really good one and we decided to give it a trial since it was a new month and salaries had just been paid. We booked our uber around 1:20pm and We left the house, we got to the restaurant by 1:50pm after several attempts of locating the place.
On getting to the place, the restaurant was located in a very serene quite location. We were very welcomed by the waitress and were ushered into our seat. After which i went to serve myself pepper soup, but i could not eat that cause if was very cold and not what I envisioned it to taste like, i was forced to drop that. I went ahead to serve myself snacks, and in other not to get filled quickly, i packed the snacks into a paper towel and kept into my bag. My sister on the other hand took yam and fish stew, while my friend had jollof rice with fried rice and peppered chicken. My friend complained that the fried rice tasted like it was sour and going bad.
The first main dish i had was white rice and beef sauce, it tasted really good, more like home made meal. I didn’t eat so much cause i wanted to try out other dishes they had. They had over seven dishes, of which i had in mind to try out four to know the best. The buffet came with a complimentary juice and unlimited drinking water. After i finished eating the rice and beef sauce, i went ahead to eat paster and vegetable salad, it was really nice but there wasnt any meat or protein to go with it, so i had to wait awhile for that to be refilled, while waiting for the meat or chicken to be refilled i was munching on the paster, it was really delicious and went well or rather the salad complimented the taste. I was almost done when the chicken arrived and i went to serve myself with a large some of chicken.
At this point, we already had alot to eat and there wasn’t so much appetite for us to try out other dishes, so we went ahead to have some fruits, the pineapple was really ripe and sweet, alot of people was of the same opinion as we were. My sister also tried out the white rice and sauce and she did enjoy it.
Am a sweet tooth, so we went ahead to have some desert which was red velvet cake, thumbs up to the baker for this restaurant cause they really did a very good job with their pasteries. We had alot to eat of the red velvet and we kept asking for more.
While eating, we were told that free foot massage was given for clients on that particular day, for them to have a feel of what it was like and encouraging them to come experience more during valentines day and that they were having a promo for both couples and singles. We took turns for the foot massage and it was refreshing, after we were done, we booked our ride and left. On our way to the cab, we decided to take some pictures because the aesthetic of the restaurant was really nice.
