Just like the Cotonou journey, my go to to the lately opened Indian and Chinese language place on the mainland -Gypsy’s restaurant Lagos began with a tweet from Alex.
One way or the other every thing begins and ends with Alex. She would at all times toss the blame to me claiming that I’m chargeable for making a gap in her pocket however in some way most of our adventures begin and finish together with her. That’s a narrative for one more day although.
I haven’t performed a Lagos dwelling assessment kind publish shortly plus I used to be itching to depart house so I jumped on the alternative to go out and take a look at this new place she claimed to have discovered.
Previous to right this moment, I had by no means heard of the Gypsy restaurant Lagos. I took a fast look at their instagram web page earlier than heading out and determined that I’d most definitely simply accept a drink. In spite of everything, the meals wasn’t my foremost motive for leaving my home. The corporate and vibes had been.
So off we headed to Ilupeju (particularly 34a Gbolade Adebanjo St, Ilupeju) the place the Gypsy’s restaurant Lagos is positioned.
My first impression was that of a comfortable setting. I appreciated the straightforward however intimate design, nothing excessive or alte like Bogobiri however nonetheless cute in a method that made me consider my ex-bae and the way a lot I’d have beloved to have him right here. We had a factor for cozy locations.
I digress although.
We settled in and glanced over the menu going forwards and backwards earlier than lastly deciding on our order – chosen largely from the Chinese language finish of the menu (It’s each an Indian and Chinese language restaurant).
Service was immediate and environment friendly. I’ve to offer them an A1 for this. There was somebody to take care of our each whim they usually had been very well mannered and courteous. I couldn’t fault something.
We began off with the sesame rolls/ pockets (N3500)- I used to be a bit hesitant about getting this however Alex’s urge for food wouldn’t let it’s. I couldn’t complain afterward as a result of it was a success with each Alex and Derin and was such an enormous portion which I undoubtedly didn’t see coming.
The factor about Gypsy’s restaurant that I’d ultimately come to understand is that they’re fairly beneficiant with their servings. We had sufficient meals to go spherical and even take away. It was such a nice shock.
Subsequent up was the particular fried rice (N5000), fried noodles with blended meat (N3500) and Rooster in XO sauce (N4000). An equally massive portion which all of us shared amongst ourselves. Once more, I had no complaints besides that it may all do with some additional salt however I loved it regardless.
P.S- We bought only one portion of every meal and shared amongst ourselves.
To complete up our meal, we bought a Chapman (prices simply N500!!). The waiter recommended we strive their “Nutella spring rolls” however we opted to strive one thing completely different as an alternative and settled with an Indian frozen dairy dessert (N900) referred to as Kulfi which tasted principally like what it’s – frozen milk.
I may undoubtedly have performed with out this however at the very least, now I do know what a Kulfi is.
