Lagos Cafe

Delicious, fast and friendly. Jollof rice spicy but not overwhelming--lots more on the menu that I'd like to try, especially the friday/saturday specials.

So good!

I was driving by and did a double take when I saw their sign. I decided to stop in to see what they offered because Nigerian restaurant menus tend to vary. It’s a small carryout only spot. The woman working there was very nice and accommodating. I informed her that I’m vegan and inquired about a few of my favorite Nigerian foods: egusi, greens, jollof, and beans. She didn’t have egusi. She stated that she had greens but they’re made with fish. She then offered to make me a fresh batch sans the fish if I had time to wait. I most certainly do! It wasn’t a long wait either. I got a hefty container of food for about $15. There was enough food for 2 days (if I wasn’t being greedy).

I tried my food right away. The greens were very good and clearly freshly made with quality produce. The beans were good. The jollof rice was SLAMMIN!! Perfection in the flavor department!

I’m unsure how long they’ve been open, but they seem fairly new. They’re located in a strip mall with other small, locally owned businesses. Again, it’s carryout only; you cannot sit in and eat. (I ate in my car.) They also offer catering services.

Be sure to check out this spot if you’re in the MSP area.

Many wonderful vegan options, affordable prices.

My dad and I just had our first ever Jollof rice and are now obsessed. Food was absolutely delicious, super fast and service was awesome. Highly recommend to everyone!
