Food- 100%Ambience-95%Service- 100%This is one of the good ones guys!The food put the A in Amazing.I’ve gotten into the habit of asking the waiter for a recommendation and man was I satisfied.I have nothing to say to you except that If you haven’t tried sabor you’re seriously missing πŸ˜‚

The chef here knows what’s up. The waiter was also super professional and very nice too. You rarely get this kind of service in Lagos restaurants tbh. Food, service and ambience = A1 πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

Oh my Sabor! Id rate them 5stars but for the difficulty in locating the restaurant. It is hidden in plain sight and as such can be difficult to find. However, the whole ambience makes up for it and more importantly, the FOOD! I mean I had pasta (spaghetti actually) and it was close to the best Ive ever had. The chicken lollipop was also the right degree on juicy and sweet. If you do go, order the seafood scampi, its the absolute best!

I liked Sabor. Food is just right and the menu fairly interesting even though they seem to have a thing for pasta. A thumbs up.

It’s a really cute space and it has this vintage vibe going on, it’s a place you can totally dress up to. The customer relation was good but the staff at some point wasn’t available when we needed them. Probably because they had an event of some sort planned. We stayed on the terrace because the inside was reserved and that was the only space available. We had their jollof rice and bbq chicken lollipops which is about 6 per portion. Their food is really nice but the portions are small. Overall the space is cute, the customer service is good and the food is nice except for the small portions. They collect tax, so I’m looking at the menu plan for tax to be added outside of the initial food pricing.

The ambience is nice and the food tastes good. Food and Drinks here are a bit pricey but it tastes good.I got Chapman for about 2500 and its not inclusive of VAT and service charge.Calamari was about 3850 or so.

This is the first restaurant I visited in Lagos post lockdown and here’s how it went.ExperienceI absolutely love the service here. Upon entering, there was a temperature check and compulsory use of hand sanitiser. The menu is now digital so you’ll scan the barcode which will open up a link with the menu. The staff (waiters) anticipate your needs and it’s a delight to witness.FoodMy food was sooooo delicious. I love how the sweet potato fries were made, so unexpected. At first I thought it was chicken lol. I did ask that the bbq chicken lollipops be coated in pepper because Yoruba babe lol and the chef did just that. Totally lovely. My cocktail didn’t give me any buzz though, maybe next time I’ll try something stronger.PriceHand Cut Sweet Potato Fries N900BBQ Chicken Lollipops N3,300Barcode Fire N2,700Service charge & VAT excluded.I’ll definitely revisit and probably try a stronger cocktail.

The ambience is very basic especially for a restaurant in VI, the road is currently under construction so entering the restaurant is quite a struggle because you have to pass through planks to get in. The food is very delicious, however it takes a while to be ready.... an average of about 30 mins so it is definitely not ideal for a quick bite. The pricing is also quite steep if we are being honest and the portions are generally quite small. All in all, I would say it is just about average.

The atmosphere is soothing. Nice customer service and the food is tasty.When you place your order you wait about 25mins for you food.I like the root top view.I had the chicken lollipops and sweet potatoes and my friend had the half-roasted butter chicken. The chicken was so succulent and tasty.We did takeout and I love the packaging used.I would love to visit again to try another dish and also a mocktail.

The space is simple and classy. The cocktails were so good.The food was good. I am not giving a 5 as my Pasta came out too spicy despite the instruction. That did not stop me from finishing the meal. The meals were appealing to the eyes.They know the pasta business well. Next visit, I will try the grilled food options.The terrace is a good space to chill with friends and have good laughs.I recommend SABOR

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic. I’ve been there twice 2 months apart now and every time, every dish excites my taste buds. Pricing is decent, not cheap but not expensive either. I’d just say it’s worth every penny

Great ambience, the staff who attended to us knew about the menu and was able to help us order which I liked.They all had thier masks on(staffs)No face mask no entry rule in place πŸ’―Hand sanitizers too were in place πŸ’―While you have your customers wait for their meals,I think its fair you guys give some peanuts or something to much on while your customers wait for thier meals.I loved loved the Big bird burger plus hand cut sweet potato fries as side,tho it was a lil bit salty kinda but I finished (I hope i got the name right).My man had pasta scampi and it was amazing πŸ‘Hopefully we visit soon πŸ™‚

I had such a good time at Sabor,The waiter (Wale) assigned to my table was exceptional. He made very good recommendations which i totally enjoyed.I had an extra strong Raspberry Gin Frizz but didnt taste any alcohol in it.I had a well done juicy burger with fries.... it was excellent. The right size and spice.The almond brownie dessert was yummy too.The food servings were great for the prices. I could hardly finish mine.Oh,the smoking area outside could have been better.. more air and less flies..I would definitely recommend and revisit.β˜ΊοΈπŸ™ŒπŸ»

Had a lovely experience here. Food was lovely. The mash was so nice...the ribs done to perfection! My +1 said the seafood scampi was really good too. She forgot her phone and even though it was past midnight when we returned, it was gotten back intact. There was even good social media feedback concerning the phone. The waiter, Alvin, was simply amazing as well!

Great Space, good food and well trained waitersDate night was memorable thanks to Sabor. The food was very nice and portion was just right. I had the chicken lollipop as a starter- tasty, surf and turf flat bread as my main it was β€œdivine”. Lastly, dessert was the almond nut brownie with vanilla ice cream - sinful.Loved the outdoor space-it was well put together. Alvin was our waiter and he was very polite and professional.Loved everything about sabor and would recommend this place to everyone.

SABOR is an exotic restaurant that is located on the island. It is beautifully adorned and spaciously arranged for groups and also for couples. There have various foods and delicacies that are tasty and delicious. Variety of food on their menu such as chicken lollipop for light bites, tagliatelle pasta for main dishes and the ultimate juice such as burgers. Also the seafood and half roasted butter chicken is a wonder you need to taste. SABOR has a rest room for convenience and a ample parking space. There is an artwork by the entrance for photo enthusiasts. The prices are affordable. SABOR is a great place to be!!!

We couldn’t find the restaurant because there was no sign, that definitely needs to change. Chop now is not your restaurant! Besides that, the customer service was top notch. The Thai spring rolls were so good. The first round was really big, by the time we ordered again, it was smaller but the taste remained the same. Enjoyed the seafood scampi so much! My drink wasn’t exceptional or anything which was fine because of the food!

I was looking forward to my dining experience at the sabor Lagos. It was easy to make a reservation and we felt right at home thanks to Amy whom I presumed was the manager.The ambience is has a rustic feel. The staff were courteous.The starters took too long and I was underwhelmed with my order. My paella was dry and salty. The pasta was quite good.They get 3stars because Security presence was lacking and I feel this is essential.I hope the food and prep time is improved upon.

Sabor is a nice, relaxed chill spot, perfect for a lazy and casual evening out. Its a bit small but that adds to the cosy feel; the food is good and our order arrived in just under 30 minutes, cocktails are good as well. Prices are about the same as youd expect from your regular lagos spot. The place has an indoor sitting area as well as a balcony so theres a place for everyone.Overall not bad at all.

Review β„–52

Only reason Im not giving 5 stars is because of the general ambience/environment. There is nothing amazing other than the dining itself. The food tastes great and is often served in decent sized portions. They will pamper you with food here. They also have decent cocktails as well.All in all, great experienceP. S: The paella is more suited to three or four people as against the two that is suggested. Oh and they have excellent starters as well.

Great restaurant. The butter chicken & Aubergine-eggplant-pasta was great!! The butter chicken has the same suya-like seasoning I love 9ja for....& the pasta my wife had was amazing as well. As good as you can have in the US/Europe if not better.My only request is to make the outside sliding doors a bit easier to pull. Grease it or something.

Very understated and spectacular menu! Don’t forget the paella! Nice wine selection. There is an outdoor section with a fire pit on the table. Don’t worry it’s not a real flame so it’s not hot. Service is excellent and super friendly always with a smile. It’s on a one way street so make sure you come the right way down the street. Police are waiting for one way criminals

I’ve recommended this restaurant uncountable times after my visit.I had visited Lagos thinking I’d have a stress free and peaceful stay but I ended up being really busy! Also, during the day and Lagos traffic didn’t help at all.I reached out to my friend, I needed a place to relax while having a cocktail and a meal. She recommended SABOR Lagos amongst others. After going through their Instagram pages, I picked @sabor.lagos.SABOR opened its door on the 18th of January 2018. Its name is a Spanish word for β€˜flavor’.β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”It’s interior and ambience is minimalist and cozy. It’s a small place that was properly worked on to give this really cool vibe. Indoor and outdoor terrace restaurant.SABOR is basically in-between a bistro cause of its size and a restaurant cause of their price.β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I sat at the terrace, I was handed the menu almost immediately. The menu isn’t extensive, it’s pretty straight forward and short, there isn’t a lot to choose from actually. The menu is divided into seven parts; salads, mains, light bites, cocktails, mocktails, juice and soft drinks. It ranges from 400 - 13,000 Naira.β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”My order -Rosemary Gin Fizz - 2900Bbq chicken Lollipops - 3300ChipsMy cocktail was a recommended by the waiter, it was a combination of gin, grapefruit, prosecco and rosemary. The grapefruit hits you with your first sip then the Gin and prosecco creeps in, in a subtle manner.My bbq chicken lollipops, best! Properly marinated and soft. My chips weren’t soggy they were really alright. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”Ideal for meet ups, dinner dates, after work chills, birthday dinners etcβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”Highly recommended - πŸ†P.O.S available

Sabor is a nice place for drinks and a nice meal. The food was tasty although the space felt a lot choked up but I guess it is because i visited on a Friday evening/night so there was a lot of people.

Sabor is a nice restaurant at the heart of Victoria Island. It’s a nice place to hang with friends. It’s also good for large-ish groups.Their prices are not bad but when we got the bill, we were a bit confused about the consumption tax and service fee charges). This is in addition to VAT as well. Each of these were 5% of the actual price that appeared on the menu. So, if you are on a strict budget, you may want to add 15% to the price you see on the menu so you don’t get surprised when it’s time to pay. Whew.
