Went for Sunday brunch and was disappointed with overall quality of the buffet spread. The smoked chicken was far too dry and the local food looked totally uninviting. The fish and chicken ( western style ) was very bland. Saving grace was the pasta station where the cook took one's instruction on sauce and ingredients.....Dear Ianfung,We appreciate you taking the time to write a review on tripadvisor regarding your recent visit to our Brazarrie restaurant.

My first visit was brief as we called in on the way back from an outing. Really nice setting with plenty of space between tables which makes a change. A little expensive but is prime location and only to be expected. Table service was friendly and efficient. We ordered food, mine with request of no pepper... But so peppery hot I couldn't eat it.With the sea breezes, can get colder at night so take something warm along in case you need it. Hope to revisit.

Dined here a couple of times. The meals are authentic and fairly priced. It could get with quite crowded at peak lunch periods increasing service waiting time. Parking is a bit tight downstairs.

Reviewed By rikwuts

This restaurant, part of a larger complex with a very hip clothing shop and an outdoor bar, was a breath of fresh air. Very well designed, 'African chic' kind of interior. Dark but very cozy. The kind of experience you would expect in Mayfair. The food is modern variations on African classics from all over the continent (West Africa mostly). Very well done, tasty, and good portions on well dressed plates. I guess the staff, while very polite and helpful, was a bit over-stretched and slow as a result, but nonetheless a great experience overall.

The service was really fast. The seafood anything is the best. The seafood okra and seafood stew were delicious. I did not enjoy their egussi as much. The servers should learn how to smile. Their fresh juice is fantastic!! Music in the background was also good. Wonderful place to take people to experience the best in Victoria Island for Nigerian food.

Reviewed By Willy O

On enquiry, a friend recommended Jevinik Restaurant at Agoro Odiyan Street, Victoria Island. I located it using Google map. The waiters were warm and absolutely welcoming. The tables were exceptionally neat and well arranged. The air was fresh, as they have high ceilings and well serviced split unit air conditioners. I ordered afang soup with pounded yam. My food was ready in 10 minutes. I was shocked! I had to ask the waiter, Victor, if it was truly mine. He smiled and ran through the order once again with me. I was down right pleased. The food was quite tasty. I noticed that many customers around were nodding with obvious satisfaction and smiling amongst themselves. I definitely want to re-visit.

Picked this restaurant for my colleagues sendforth dinner. The opportunity of a private conversation (if not full) is a big plus as the layout has some corners and secluded areas. Waiters are great and happy people. Parking is a little tight was was lucky to get one of the few spaces inside. As for the food, nothing great. Feferiti was well cooked but not that a special meal.. but make sure you buy it as a side.
