Local tip
Brunch diners should confirm plantain availability before ordering, as bread has been offered as a substitute when plantain was unavailable.

Oh la la Cafe is a restaurant and café in Nigeria with a menu that brings together familiar Nigerian meals, café-style options and selected continental dishes. The food suits diners looking for a casual brunch, a homemade-style meal or a simple post-work gathering. Dishes associated with the venue include ewa agoyin, amala, plantain, bread, tea, steak and prawns, giving the menu a broad range across traditional comfort food and more familiar restaurant choices.

The setting is a notable part of the experience. The café has sofa seating in a glass room, creating an indoor space that works for relaxed meals, informal conversations and quiet daytime visits. The atmosphere has also been described as suitable for remote work, while the seating and overall style lend themselves to casual post-work meals. It is a practical choice for diners who value ambience alongside food rather than a formal dining-room setting.

Brunch is one occasion that fits the venue, particularly for meals built around Nigerian staples and tea. The menu can also appeal to diners who want to move between café fare and local dishes in the same place. The presence of options such as amala and ewa agoyin makes the restaurant relevant to those seeking familiar Nigerian flavours, while steak and seafood provide alternatives for diners with different preferences.

Food preparation and service may require some patience at busy times. A reported brunch visit involved a long wait, and plantain was unavailable on that occasion, with bread offered as a substitute. Seafood quality has also drawn a serious negative comment, so diners ordering prawns may wish to raise any concerns promptly. These points sit alongside positive feedback about the homemade-style food and the ambience, making the café a place where the setting is a clear part of its appeal.

Oh la la Cafe is best suited to casual diners, remote workers and small groups seeking a flexible restaurant setting. The glass-room sofa area offers a distinct alternative to standard table seating, while the menu provides room for both local comfort food and broader restaurant choices. A visit can work for brunch, a daytime work session or an informal meal after work, with expectations set for a relaxed pace rather than fast service.
