So, I was craving hummus badly and I asked you guys where I could find the best in the city. By popular suggestion, I spent yesterday evening at City View Restaurant…
AMBIENCE:
I absolutely loved this place. I liked how it had 3 different seating options.
Indoor seating:
I apologise for not having pictures of the interior, but I remember it to be small and cozy.
Outdoor seating:
A beautiful pavilion made of exposed wooden structure. Suitable for smokers.
Sheltered Outdoor Seating:
Also with lovely exposed wooden structure and locally made furniture and fittings. TV’s probably for watching football matches. I like that they nailed the Mediterranean type setting.
SERVICE:
Overall great service. Food was presented to us in under 15 minutes.

SALMAH’S SIDENOTE:
While waiting for my friend, I observed that there were alot of people coming in an out. Says alot about the place.
City View would be great for birthdays, family & friends outings, I think it’s kid friendly too. The various seating options allow for you to experience the restaurant differently each time.
REVIEW OF FOOD
Mixed Grill w Chips – N4,400
(Beef Koftas, Wings, Beef Suya, Chicken and Beef Skewers)
The suya was by far my favourite it was tender and nicely spiced. Koftas were great too. On the other hand, the beef skewer was somewhat tough, and the wings could’ve done with more spices. I’d recommend this though!
Hummus w bread- N1500
Cravings beautifully satisfied. This was really nice and I loved how smooth it was. The bread that came with it was served warm and it tasted really good!
Cheeseburger w Chips – N2800
I didn’t get to taste this, as my friend had it packed as takeaway. She mentioned it was tasty though, so I guess you can try for yourself!
