If you’re in Ikeja and you want good food without spending too much, there are actually plenty of spots under ₦20k. But I’ll just talk about two I’ve been to more than once because of how their food and vibe feel.
First is Alice Garden Restaurant. This one is actually a Chinese restaurant, and honestly, the place is something else. The environment is very beautiful with garden-like decorations that make it feel calm and special. The chairs are also designed in creative styles like animal heads (cats and others), and the whole setup gives that Cinderella/cartoon world feeling, as you’ve stepped into a dream where everything looks soft and magical 🥰. Their shrimp rice is my favorite, very tasty and well-made, and you can still eat other meals there and stay within ₦20k.
Then there’s The Periwinkle Restaurant. This one is a cozy and beautiful space. It has that calm, simple but nice vibe, and it’s actually very good for small dates or low-key hangouts. With ₦10k to ₦15k, you can already get something nice and satisfying without stress. The food is good, and the portions are okay, too.
So if you’re around Ikeja and just want nice food in a nice place without spending too much, these two spots are solid choices.
