Let’s be honest, Lagos can be tough on the wallet, especially when it comes to dining out. You often find yourself debating between breaking the bank or settling for…well, less-than-stellar options. But fear not, budget-conscious foodies! Nestled in the heart of the mainland, Rubels and Angels Restaurant Lagos offers a refreshing oasis of delicious, affordable eats that won’t leave you wincing at your bill.
My recent visit to Rubels and Angels Rubels and Angels Restaurant Lagos was a revelation. The vibrant, welcoming atmosphere puts you at ease instantly. Friendly staff navigates the bustling space with practiced ease, while the open kitchen lets you peek into the culinary magic happening behind the scenes.
Now, down to the nitty-gritty: the food. I decided to conquer their extensive menu with a diverse selection, and I enjoyed myself immensely.
For the pasta lover in the group, the Chicken Alfredo (N9,500) was a creamy, cheesy dream. With tender chunks of chicken with perfectly al dente pasta, coated in a rich, but not cloying, Alfredo sauce. It was a dish that satisfied without sending you into a carb coma.
Speaking of satisfaction, the Angels Burger (N8,500) did not disappoint. A juicy, crispy chicken patty stacked high with crisp lettuce, cucumber slices, melty cheese, and their signature “Angels sauce” (the recipe remains a tantalizing mystery) lived up to its name. This burger is no dainty affair; it’s a full-on flavor bomb that requires both hands and a serious appetite.
For those seeking to share, the We All Love Rice Platter (N15,000) is a feast for the eyes and the stomach. Generous portions of jollof rice, fried rice, native rice, plantain, assorted meats, etc arrive on a platter fit for royalty. It’s the perfect option for groups on a budget or anyone who simply wants to sample a bit of everything.
No meal is complete without dessert, and the Oreo and Bailey’s milkshake (N7,500) provided the perfect sweet ending. Rich, creamy ice cream infused with the unmistakable taste of Baileys and studded with crunchy Oreo bits was pure decadence. It’s a must-try for those with a sweet tooth, though be warned: sharing might be a challenge.
The final star of the show? The Grilled Catfish (N6,000). This simple dish, expertly grilled with just the right amount of char and seasoning, showcased the quality of the ingredients. Served with a side of grilled plantain it was a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best flavors come from the most uncomplicated preparations.
It’s worth mentioning that Rubels and Angels caters to all kinds of dining experiences. If you’re looking for a touch of privacy, they offer private dining/lounge areas. The Angels Lounge boasts a N12,500 minimum spend per person, while the Rubels Lounge comes in at a more budget-friendly N8,000.
Overall, my experience at Rubels and Angels Rubels and Angels Restaurant Lagos was a resounding success.
