I had a mini meet and greet with some sisters and for some reasons this place was chosen.
The ambience was cool, I forgot I wasn't in Nigeria for a moment, because there were more black people there,
Their foods was smoking hot, spicy, and delicious.
We all ordered different meals and they served us well.
Yam and sides
Amala and egusi
Pounded yam and efo
Tilapia fish
I had coconut rice with orisirisi meat, and I can say this is the tastiest one I've had in a long time.
Highly recommend

It is always a very pleasant experience for us whenever we come here, be it together or with others. The attentiveness of the staff is always 10/10. They ensure that everything is okay with our food and are always accessible if we need them for anything. The food is delicious and full of a variety of flavours and spices.👌🏾
As we are both lovers of art, the decor always really stands out to us, especially the beautiful portraits. They depict a West African tale. Simply magnificent!
Overall, the restaurant is exceptionally clean and we never have any issues when we dine here with food, cutlery, the atmosphere or the staff. 805 has continued to uphold their high standards over the years hence why we always come back!

805 restaurant still a nice place to eat, just like early 2000, when I used to hang out with friends after work. On Father's day 2023, my daughter and family decided to give me a treat. Booking and getting a table was easy inspite of the crowd. Unfortunately, we had to wait for almost 2 hours to get something to eat. My granddaughters were left hungry and tired. I had to call the attention of the manager for us to be served. The management needs to work on this aspect of service delivery.
May I also point out of the new need to do something about flies hovering over customer's food. At the end of the day, it was a glorious Father's day Sunday and we enjoyed the food.

I took my partner to 805 to introduce her to fine African dining. The food, staff and atmosphere really lived up to expectations. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

Food has gone down over the last couple of years, the J rice used to have a special flavour to it which put it above others imo but that’s gone now. Wait always used to be long but on this occasion it was a lot longer. Jackie was an amazing server however, very pleasant and attentive.

I first went to 805 back 14 years ago to celebrate my birthday, and I enjoyed the food then. We are now in 2023, and they have remained consistent. I love the new and improved decor and layout of the restaurant, but the food is still amazingly delicious.n

Great atmosphere, great food. Good service. My friends and I had to wait for ten minutes for a table but we didn’t book so that’s not too bad. Massive problem with parking around this very popular Nigerian restaurant, I suggest a Uber then you can drink and take advantage of the amazing Nigerian beers.
It’s difficult to know the dress code because some people just want to eat traditional food and might not be looking for a night out but that’s mixed with people who are celebrating an event and are beautifully dressed. Honestly this place is buzzing and if you want price and quiet this is not the place to eat. But if you are happy with a electric ambiance great food and traditional foods then get yourself a table. Make sure you book if it’s an event otherwise you will not get a table.
