A lot of people think that once you’re on the Island, especially Lekki, everything automatically becomes expensive. But the truth is, there are still solid food spots where you can eat really good meals without spending much, even under ₦5k if you know where to look.

One of them is Foodies Hot Spicy Restaurant. This place is actually a nice surprise. You can eat well here without breaking the bank, spicy jollof rice, special fried rice, soups, asun, and more, all still within that affordable range. The space is also neat and beautiful, so you’re not just eating good food, you’re enjoying the vibe too.

Then there’s Native Tray. This one gives a more local, cozy experience but in a very well-designed way. You can find banger stew, starch, abacha, and different soups served in native pots, which gives that strong traditional vibe. They also have a private dining space, nice music playing, and beautiful artwork on the walls that makes the whole place feel warm and cultural.

So yes, Lekki isn’t only about expensive dining; there are still spots where you can eat good food, enjoy nice ambience, and still stay on a budget.
