Mood Lagos

Mood Lagos is a rooftop restaurant and lounge on top of The Lennox Mall on Admiralty Way, the main road through Lekki Phase 1. It opened in 2023 and describes itself as Lekki's favourite rooftop. The space is split into an indoor dining room, an outdoor terrace shielded from the weather and an open-air VIP section, so it works for both a sit-down dinner and a late night of drinks.

The kitchen takes Nigerian classics and applies international techniques. Signature dishes include abula, the Yoruba combination of amala, gbegiri and ewedu, as well as peppercorn steak, suya pasta and Cajun prawns. The wider menu covers burgers, pasta, grills, soups, sharing platters and desserts, and the bar serves cocktails, wine and spirits. Prices are listed in naira, and 7.5 per cent VAT is added to the bill, so factor this in when you budget.

Evenings are when Mood comes alive. Resident DJs play through the night, there is regular live music, and dancers sometimes perform. The venue also hosts birthdays, corporate events, private parties and brand launches, and the VIP section can be booked for groups. The atmosphere is lively, and smart casual clothing is a safe choice.

Mood suits groups of friends, couples on a night out and visitors who want a rooftop setting with food that reflects Lagos tastes. It is open every day from 14:00 to 02:00, which makes it useful for a late lunch as well as a late night. Reservations are made through the booking form on the website, where you choose the date, time, number of guests and whether you want indoor, outdoor or VIP seating, or by direct message on Instagram. Booking is wise on Friday and Saturday nights, and if you are celebrating an occasion, mention it in the special requests field when you reserve. Mention any dietary needs at the same time, as the form asks for them.

The Lennox Mall is on Admiralty Way in Lekki Phase 1, close to the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, so it is a quick ride from Ikoyi and Victoria Island when traffic allows. The mall itself has other shops and places to eat, including a Hans & René branch for dessert before or after. Ride-hailing cars can collect you from outside the mall at the end of the night.
