Abula Tawa

Abula Tawa is a well-known Nigerian restaurant in Lagos, celebrated for its authentic Yoruba cuisine and homely atmosphere. Located in multiple areas including Lekki, it specializes in traditional dishes like amala, ewedu, gbegiri, and ofada rice, served with richly seasoned proteins such as beef, ponmo, and cow intestine.

The ambience varies by location. The Lekki outlet, for instance, has a small indoor space with a sit-out area, but it can get quite hot during peak hours. While the décor is modest, it’s designed to evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity. The restaurant is popular among locals and Instagram-savvy diners who appreciate its aesthetic touches and hearty meals.

Customer reviews are mixed. Many praise the flavorful sauces, generous meat portions, and quick delivery service. However, some have noted inconsistencies especially at the Lekki branch where meals were reportedly microwaved and lacked freshness. Despite these critiques, Abula Tawa remains a go-to spot for lovers of Yoruba food, offering a nostalgic taste of home-cooked meals with a modern twist.
