About nestLagos

Classic African & Continental Dishes

Preserving Decades of rich traditions

Nest Lagos is an Afro-fusion restaurant and lounge on Sir Samuel Manuwa Street, Victoria Island. We bring together the bold, familiar flavours of West African cooking and the techniques of continental cuisine, jollof rice and amala alongside steaks, pastas and grills — in a space built for long lunches, unhurried dinners and celebrations worth remembering.

The Nest has brought together our passion for quality african and intercontinental dishes, family values, and seasoned restaurant experience. Every time you eat with us, you’re tasting years of hard work, innovation, and commitment to good food.

We’re on a mission to take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey. We’re here to celebrate the rich and diverse culinary traditions of Africa while also bringing you a taste of the world.

Step Inside Nest

Nest is built around African-inspired décor warm wood, textured walls, and traditional art that gives the room a sense of place rather than the anywhere-in-the-world feel of most Victoria Island dining rooms. It’s designed to be comfortable enough for a weekday lunch and considered enough for a dinner that matters.

The main dining room opens onto outdoor seating for when the evening is worth sitting in, and a fully stocked bar runs through the middle of it cocktails, wine by the glass, and a team who’ll make something off-menu if you ask. For larger gatherings, the room takes 72 seated or 90 for cocktails, which makes it one of the more flexible private event spaces on the island.
