Pearl Garden

I've been here several times over the years and I've had varying experiences but will just comment on my last two visits. First visit was for a quiet Saturday lunch which went well and the waiters were very attentive; had nothing to complain about. Food came out quickly, was very tasty and ambiance was very nice. Portions were more than adequate and we even had take away packed for us. Second visit however was on a busy Sunday night. We had reserved a particular table for 5 people but when we arrived, our table had been given out to another family. One of the people in my group was not at all happy and had to tell them off very harshly because we had gone out of our way to reserve that particular table but it seemed as though when they saw that a white family wanted our table, they gave it out. Their excuse for giving out our table was also quite lame. Anyway, so as not to spoil our evening, we had to make do with another table. Our dinner went well and they tried to make up for their earlier mistake by being extra attentive. The food came our piping hot and was delicious as usual. Big portions and we enjoyed it all. It's one of the good fine dining Chinese restaurants in Lagos that usually delivers. The service just needs to improve.

Gurunar's Viceroy Restaurant

Reviewed By imsam

Being there to hang out on a weekend with some friends. The Buffet spread is good enough to have a good brunch. Added advantage is that they include unlimited beer (limited brands) in the buffet price.The vegetarian spread was good and the taste was average. The n0n-vegeterain dishes were not great. The Afghani Boti was a bit under cooked and didn't enjoy it.The whole exercise was to meet the friend have a goog beer and enjoy the food in their company.

After deliberation this restaurant was chosen, food menu, drinks menu no problem, the draught(draft) beer was tasting bitter maybe it had just crossed it's shelf life! We ordered for some snacks with the beer, onion bhajia was served and chicken tikka, chicken tikka nice presentation and Good taste, onion bhajia was overfried, you know how chickpea flour tastes when overfried.the restaurant manager and the steward picked the plate up on complaining, we continued with our food of dal, Madras chicken and some vegetable with garlic naan. Taste was good. On getting the bill we saw we were bill d for the the bhajia! On asking we were just curtly told we can order another item for same price but we can delete this amount from the bill period!! They have survived for too long it seems now. the expected much from a Indian restaurant in a foreign land. Please guys don't spoil our name.thanks.

A great find in Victoria Island! Spice Route has great Indian food and excellent service. We went for the Sunday lunch buffet and it was a delectable feast! It is hard to find something in VI that is affordable, but the lunch buffet at Spice Route is reasonably priced and delicious. The biryani is excellent and the chaat station makes fresh bhel. The lunch buffet includes beer, which was a bonus. Definitely recommended.
