This is somewhere you can always trust to have good food and very great customer service. I went there two times in a roll but because inside is so dimly lit I only got these bright pictures when I went for lunch and it was bright outside.Pictured is their quesadillas which I highly recommend as well as their pasta dishes, a great selection for wines. Perfect date spot, outside and indoor sitting. Very soft music playing so you get to have conversations and actually hear yourself.I’ll definitely recommend this as a go-to date spot.

Neat healthy environment, with an old fashioned setting. Good for pictures as well, everything I had is about $17. My only problem was the bread, I had delicious ones and ordered for an extra just for them to give me stale bread which they denied. Overall they seem customer friendly.

Lovely breakfast workstation.. The rooms could do with minor adjustments.. The bed frame totally blocked the sockets for charging phones. This should be looked into. The staff were courteous. The room rates were fair. The meal was decent. All in all, a good experience. Except for the charging point by the bed.

I love the lively vibe of this place, its the sort of place you go to and instantly feel happy, it can be too much if you dont like crowd or loud conversations. The food took a while to arrive but it was fine, we were having fun. I suggest you try the strawberry daiquiri

Their BBQ wings was nice, loved my Tuna salad and Ginger beer but cant say same for the Alfredo Pasta (Which wasnt necessarily bad, just not my thing) The ambience is fair, deco isnt so fantastic, quite simple, decent space, great service and not too pricy

Great place for friends and family hang out. Varieties of beer and all types of drinks, you can have coffee, tea etc. Food is also great . You can enjoy a feel of live band on weekends. And they have accomodation also. In a very secured location in maitama.

Very lovely setting and professional staff. The service was good but Ill dock one star because the salad ordered didnt come (waiter forgot to place it) and the chips/fries with chicken skewers came in cold.Management should consider getting an additional waiter as the staff seemed overwhelmed and were hasty on all tables. Overall very lovely spot and would recommend.

I used their app to order. Their delivery service is quick, the food arrived warm enough. Their riders have good navigation, they called when they were at my door. They however need to work on the app because they dont see your address, they have to call and ask you to send a text. The food was good, love the quesadilla, the mash potatoes was a little dry and the African wings hmmm, a little too dry for my taste but the dip made it manageable. You should try the Johannesburg burger, the beef was evenly cooked and Im not a cheese lover but OMG! Overall a lovely experience

I loved cantina.𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭They have both an indoor & outdoor space. The ambience to me was very serene & quiet. Great place to have dinner, birthdays & a nice conversation.𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞Their staff are Courteous and attentive including the manager. They greet you from the door & are quick to take your orders.𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬They pride themselves in Italian & western dishes. Food came in very quickly and tasted good.𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬Prices were moderate except for steak which cost around N10-14K each. Dinner for two + drinks cost around N15-17K𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞I will definitely recommend here for a cool lunch/dinner, & mini celebrations. The outdoor for some evening night out vibes.

My friend and I went to Cantina. We ordered the Garden Veggie Pizaa with Chicken (because why will you order pizza without protein 😕) - Standard and we got the Margarita Pizza - Medium for free (MasterCard Pizza Week).The garden veggie pizza was very good taste wise. I could taste everything - the peppers, sweet corn, the chicken. The sauce was very good, the chicken was cooked to perfection. It came together well. Unfortunately, it was burnt and the crust was almost black. On top of this, it was not cheesy at all. It was like they added scrapes of cheese for us 🥴. On the other hand, the Margarita pizza was not my best. It was a bit too bland for me (I love a lot of toppings in my pizza 😜).We also got the pineapple juice. I guess it was chi exotic or something so nothing to talk about there.The wait time was a lot longer than expected - we were told 20 minutes but we waited for more than 40 minutes. The waiter was very lackadaisical about the whole thing tbh which was irritating. He wasn’t providing us with updates and even when we called him to ask he was basically responding from far (instead of coming close to explain).I’m very glad I got to try this. I will recommend the veggie garden pizza for sure.

This is a feel at home more kind of a setting. I love that is has room for family and friends. Also, you can take your date there. Their food menu is spectacular and comes with a different flavour that bursts into your taste buds.The chicken Quesadilla is to die for; a master piece in the making. And my favourite table waiter Sunday is awesome with specials and services. He doesn’t forever orders, instead he suggests more pleasant dishes to you.Also had the chicken Bon Femme and a milkshake with Oreos to push it down and of course a lovely table water. My friend had the hot chicken wings in ketchup and jollof rice.P.S: if you’re gunning for the jollof rice, it’s a new nice recipe, but not our very own Naija jollof rice; so good luck!The rest room is quite pleasant too. There are flags of different countries hung up and they said it’s because of the ongoing Olympics.You can decide to sit inside by the bar, or the extension or just enjoy the outdoor breeze, especially in the evenings. Owned by a South African and Located in the heart of Maitama, locating it is not a biggie, but not sufficient parking space. Another pleasant person to meet there is the car par security; a friendly human and ready to serve.You can host your birthdays there and have your meetings there too. And if you’re too tired to go, there is room for everyone. I will certainly visit there soon, maybe this time, stay in one of the rooms to know how it works.Don’t forget to connect with me on Twitter, Instagram and Tiktok @ijoyviva (Joyviva Nation)Check below for pictures and videos.

This is one of the best experience Ive had staying in hotels. The rooms are small, but you get value for your money. In the room I stayed there was complementary beverage across the hall. The complementary breakfast was nice too.They had Friendly and responsive staff. The decor is relaxing and the bed is very comfortable.

I had the strawberry juice or something and Cantina Salad...awesome. It came with complimentary bread and butter. My friend had lasagne but we felt the quantity was little.See lovely pics attached. Excellent for hangouts with friends or dates. Family too are welcome as I saw they had high chairs for kids.

Cantina is a beautiful space and is the restaurant of an attached hotel. We came here not as guests of the hotel but visitors, ready to enjoy a good meal. They do allow visitors in, and do not limit it to hotel guests.The drinks took a few minutes to arrive but upon asking, we were told the food will take 25 minutes (this is an extremely long wait time for breakfast, especially for a pretty much empty restaurant). Upon arrival of the food, drinks already were either finished or cold and food was alright, until we suddenly discovered plastic** in one of our plates of food. We insisted on not paying for that plate (as we couldnt eat it) but** paid for everything else we ordered and nothing was found in other plates. It was quite uncomfortable, especially as we came here with other family, including young children, to try out the restaurant. With this, it was not worth taking a photo of any of the food.Overall, if we were to give you advice: simply come here for the coffee and leave for another restaurant if you want a more elaborate, plastic-free breakfast.

Colocated with Sinclair guest house, the restaurant is a nice place to be. Like any European restaurant with nice decor. The food was good. Wifey had Cesar salad while I had their burger and fries and 2 glasses of Long Island. The restaurant has an array of continental dishes guaranteed to make you come back for more

Ive been to many places around the world and have hands down had the BEST experience at Sinclair. Felt extremely welcomed since the very first moment I stepped through their doors. Great hospitality! The staff made sure to often check on me and make sure all my needs were met. An additional bonus was that everything always looked spotless and I enjoyed mouth-watering meals at their nearby restaurant Cantina.Sinclair is truly a home away from home!
