Place is pretty nice with lots of vibes and their customer service is top notch. I just feel they need to either work on their DJ or change him completely. That’s the only thing missing and I also love their outdoor spot. It’s chilled and they serve good food and they have a lovely ambiance to complement it. It’s really a good place to unwind

Absolutely love this place! The menu has some amazing options, and the lamb chops are to die for—I had them twice in a row because they were that good! If you’re a cocktail fan, you have to try the Mango Daiquiri. It’s incredible! We were served by a gentleman named Isaac, and he was fantastic. Super attentive and genuinely friendly, checking in on us regularly with a big smile. You can tell he loves his job, and it made the experience even better. Highly recommend! I will certainly be back anytime I’m in Lagos.

Hello guys! First off it’s good to be back to Lagos! And my mom and aunty were in town so I decided to treat them to an Ox experience! The ambiance is amazing with lovely staff and aesthetics. We went early (given that they open around 3pm) evening to avoid the hustle and bustle and have a quiet dinner of half roasted chicken, checking breast, grilled croaker, mashed potatoes etc. P.S the mashed potatoes were amazing highly recommend!. The soft music in the background and the view was what we needed to unwind and enjoy a beautiful Lagos evening. I know the night experience would be something to look forward to and I can’t wait to go back!

We had our company hangout at Ox Restaurant and Lounge, and it was such a great experience! The atmosphere was just right—classy but still super relaxed, making it easy for everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. The food was amazing! Honestly, every dish we tried was full of flavor, and there were plenty of options to suit different tastes. Their cocktails? Absolutely on point—creative and refreshing. What really stood out was the service. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. We especially loved the lounge area—it was cozy and perfect for chilling and chatting.

If you like quiet luxurious restaurant, bar and shisha lounge, with a beautiful interior and exterior, this is the place to be in Lagos!!! Good prices for champagne, shisha, drinks and food. Food was fresh and the service excellent. Manager was lovely and all staff very attentive. For one Moet, Shisha and Grilled chicken we spent around 280k. Will definitely be back!

I would have given the outdoor 5stars but the smell of weed and cigarettes spoit the atmosphere for me.asides that the outdoors was cool and the music was loud enough to have a conversation. They have valet parking and you are given a warm welcome at the entrance. The food was good and it didn't take long .The waiters were excellent . It also has an indoor lounge with club vibes.
