Because Lagos enjoyment doesn’t have to break the bank — especially when FirstBank’s got your back.
If there’s one thing Lagosians can all agree on, it’s that food is life. But let’s be honest — eating out in Lagos these days can empty your wallet faster than a danfo conductor can shout “Ojuelegba straight!” Between fancy restaurants, delivery fees, and small chops that cost like gold, finding affordable but tasty food feels like a luxury.
Follow us on a “cheap eats” adventure across Lagos. The goal is simple: Let’s find the best spots where you can enjoy great food, good vybes, and still have some cash left for Uber home.
First stop – the iconic Amala Shitta in Surulere. “If you haven’t eaten here, you haven’t really lived in Lagos,” Just imagine your steaming plates of amala, ewedu, and gbegiri; rich, authentic, and absolutely comforting — all for under ₦2,000.
Next is the ever-busy White House in Yaba, a go-to spot for students and workers alike. Their jollof rice with plantain and stew is a Lagos classic.
Next adventure is the University of Suya on Allen Avenue, Ikeja — here, the smoky aroma of beef suya fills the air. You see this suya? It’s a whole experience and for ₦2,000, you get just enough suya with newspaper wrap and all.
The Place is another stop for people who want a sit-down meal with a little poise, that still wouldn’t hurt their pockets. From grilled chicken to coconut rice, every bite is usually worth it.
Finally, but not the least in this episode is Mama Cass, a true Nigerian comfort spot. Their beans and plantain combo would trigger Naija nostalgia. This is the kind of food that reminds you of home.
Good food doesn’t have to be expensive. You just have to know where to look — and have a bank that supports you.
Now, this is not an advertisement for any of the above eateries, food shops or even joints if you call it the Lapo way, we are only trying to help. You know, if you save just ₦1,000 every week, you can do a proper food crawl every month without feeling guilty.
Remember to go along with your FirstBank card, FirstMobile or Firstmonie apps for seamless and easy payments for your food. You even get cashback with your Firstmonie app and if you want to sponsor your community, you can get quick cash with FirstCredit. Now you know we’ve got you covered.
Because whether it’s a plate of amala that warms your soul or a suya stick that hits just right, Lagos enjoyment is even better when powered by FirstBank — from seamless payments to smart saving options that make every experience stress-free.
Have a food vybing weekend.
