The environment is lounge like. So they olay loud music, and they have people smoking hookah. The music was really good - Afrobeats. Our server was amazing! She was very bubbly. I wanted swallow, but they didn't have it so I was a bit upset about that. I ended up ordering jollof and chicken. The jollof was okay. I didn't like that they gave me 2 chicken drumsticks. I would have appreciated variety in the pieces. The juice was also too sweet.

This was my almost $30 meal... soooo disappointed. What kind of nonsense is this

This was my almost $30 meal... what kind of nonsense is this. Who is doing this to people. Rice is not that expensive

Food

The food was amazing. The experience was a 10 out of 10. If you like some party music vibe while you eat food you'll love this place. My husband was allergic to the food that they had in here and they were nice enough to let him bring outside food into the restaurant so that was definitely a 10 out of 10 as well.

They were so small

I love little Lagos. This was the first spot I came for African food when I moved to ATL. They have the best suya and snapper. The chicken wings are way too small but flavorful. Def a must try!

Came in for a nice after dinner vibe on Friday night around 10:30pm. It's very spacious inside with two separated sections and two bars. On one side it was a bit more Smokey due to the hookah. The afrobeats playing were on point! We ordered a mighty freeze hookah, which was extremely strong. We had to send it back and let the staff know. He didn't take our word, and instead tried it for himself. He agreed and happily got us a new flavor. The only con I have is that when ordering drinks and food there was always a wait. This was due to the fact that they only had one bar "open", and we were seated at the unopened bar. The bartender told us it was because they didn't want to clean up two bars. This area is interesting. The plaza has about 3-5 lounge/club spots that seem to all get packed as the night goes on. Little Lagos is attached to the Boum Boum part, music is the same in both areas. The parking lot is large, however they section off areas in the public lot to then charge people for "VIP" parking.

Jollof Rice and Chicken

Went to visit the place right after opening, very nice location. Gives nighttime vibe as it is a club/lounge. Was not expecting that, I also was not expecting a $2 mandatory tip for takeout order. The food itself was ok, from the picture you can tell this isn't proper jollof and stew. The chicken wasn't cooked in the stew, so it wasn't as flavorful as i was expecting.

This is one of my go-to spots for Nigerian food. & that's saying a lot cos I'm Nigerian. I love the assorted stew as well as ayamase, efo riro, shya and the moimoi; but my favorite dish they have is the banga and starch. I'm from delta state so rarely do we find our delicacies here in the states. The portions are reasonable, and the pricing is pretty good too. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable of their offerings. I love getting their food as take-out or pickup after a long day, you can't beat it. I recommend it all the time. If you're looking for great Nigerian food in Atlanta, it doesn't get any better than this.

Can't believe this spot has been up the street from me this entire time! Dropped in for a pick-up order. I tried calling prior, but the phone went straight to voicemail. Inside was beautiful, really love the light fixtures, art and the Lagos wall map, so creative. This spot doubles down as a restaurant/lounge, hence the name: Boum Boum / Little Lagos. It took a while to place my order, but once placed wait was about 15-20 mins. The only reason I'm giving this spot 4 instead of 5 stars is due to a few inconsistencies - of course a phone number is on the site, but no one answers. But I did see someone taking an order over phone, so not sure when they decide to answer. Also, menus online do not match menus in restaurant - those in restaurant had more items and prices had an uptick of about $3-5, which you can imagine can be very confusing. As for the food, my experience does not account for a dining-in experience, but I truly enjoyed my jollof with plantain and beef Suya. This is comfort food for me, so I truly enjoy it being so close. Portions were fair and food was fresh. Waitresses were very friendly and accommodating. All in all, I'll be back tomorrow LOL

beef suya.
Brian J.

Food and service was good. no isses at all. i oreder the pepper soup, Full fish and beef suya.

Red snapper
Tommysha O.

Boum Boum has some really great snapper, it's always fried well and the red sauce it's super tasty! It has a kick though so I get it on the side sometimes to control the spice. The beef suya is goood when it's prepared right but sometimes it's a bit over cooked. The bartender was very sweet and made good drinks! I like going there to watch games on the tv, it's a chill vibe.

Eba- $4

Been on the search for a bomb Nigerian restaurant in Atlanta. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Three stars What they did RIGHT The spicy tomato stew and shaki Plantains- soft but I feel this can be hit or miss because in previous pictures it looks like they fried unripe plantains What could be better The jollof rice could be spicier but I like it's burnt taste to give it the smoky flavor The beef that comes with assorted meat option is TOUGH and I dislike beef that hard to bite into and chew The goat pepper soup was OK. I've had better. Spice level is on point but it just tasted a bit bitter to me. I liked the softness of the goat meat and shaki in the goat pepper soup Egusi was OK. Tasted a little spoiled. Would not order this again. I also didn't care for the bones and it was a lot to the point I was on the lookout for bones than trying to enjoy the egusi that I bought. $4 eba is overkill Overall three stars would order again maybe the white rice and stew plate. I want to try their chicken. I like that I am within delivery limits for UberEats.

My first time trying Egusi and Fufu and it was so so delicious! The Egusi soup was so flavorful and…read morecomforting. The flavor was tomatoey with a bit of heat. The side of Fufu was a must. The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well. I also liked the side plantains. The interior is nicely ornate and comfy. The service here was also super great and my assigned server was very personable. I genuinely enjoyed my conversation with her and she did well giving me recommendations and directions as a first timer for this type of food. Overall, I had a great experience here and would come back again!

so I have been bringing my family of 7 here for 3 years. We ordered our usuals this weekend 7/7/26…read more, and OMG i was SOOOOO mad !! it seems as if they got a new chef and the food was HORRIBLE! The okra soup was super thick, barely any soup / sauce. it had a bunch of sharp pieces of crew shell with no crab meat to be found. I usually feed it to my baby but it had so many sharp pieces. the egusi was SUPER dark and oily. it looked like dirty car oil and it was SALTY ! the chicken suya was great as always but they changed the dipping sauce that comes with it which is the main reason i even get the chicken. the sauce is disgusting. this was the absolute worst experience i've had here . it was a waste of my $125 and i will not be returning . i spend thousands yearly on this food and this experience has been a major turn off . i drive 35 minutes fron buckhead atleast 2x a month to enjoy this food and i am totally turned off from this latest experience . i would normally recommend but the change in the food was soooo drastic ! i'm scared!

This place is a joke! I walk in at 15 minutes before close to here, "we don't serve fried food 30…read moreminutes before closing". Seriously you are a joke! You know nothing about serving customers in the restaurant industry. Every real restauranteur knows the at 1 minute to close you are full service. Lost a customer for life! I also tip very well especially close to closing so counter dude that offered baked chicken or oxtails instead of my fried catfish list atleast $20 because I respect good service late. But whatever you'll be closed in a year no doubt

Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is pretty unassuming, though many great restaurants are…read more When you walk in, there's almost a nightclub vibe inside. Very dark and not many traditional tables and chairs. I came around lunch time and there were quite a few ladies in beautiful traditional dress (it was Christmas Eve). I had called ahead and ordered takeout and when I walked in I was promptly acknowledged. Food arrived in the quoted time (25 minutes). Nigerian cuisine is not one I'm incredibly familiar with, but I have tried many of the standard dishes. Today I went with White Rice and Red Stew, which comes with plantains. It was delicious. Piping hot and incredibly fresh. The spice level was perfect. Just spicy enough but in no way overpowering. The plantains added a sweet element which played beautifully against the spice of the stew. The only place they lost points was the price on the website is not the price I was charged. $19 on the website and I was charged $25 but maybe they just haven't updated to reflect current prices. Regardless, I really enjoyed my food and can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. Edit: Take note, it doesn't say "The Island Grill" on the sign. It says "The African Grill."

It's also a large space so great for groups. I love the salmon tibs with Shiro. The salmon tastes fresh and the dish has great flavor. I also enjoy the collard greens side.

I took my parents here earlier this year, and they loved it so much they've been back at least five…read moretimes since. In fact, my mom even requested it for Mother's Day. That's usually a pretty good sign. I've only had Ethiopian food at two other restaurants around the Metro Atlanta area, and honestly, neither one was particularly memorable. This place is a completely different story. Every time we visit, the experience is consistent, no matter how busy they are. The decor is inviting, the service is always friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is consistently clean and well-maintained. My wife and I usually share the Tibs Platter with ribeye, lamb, and filet. The meat is always incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also order the Miser (spicy lentils), Atir (split peas), and plenty of injera. The combination of flavors and textures is amazing, and every bite complements the next. One of the things I appreciate most is how approachable they make Ethiopian cuisine for first-time visitors. If you've never had Ethiopian food before, this is a great place to start. The staff is helpful, the food is flavorful without being overwhelming, and the experience is unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant. If you're ever in the Atlanta area and want to try Ethiopian food, this place will not disappoint. Even if you're a little hesitant about eating with your hands, don't let that stop you. After a few bites, you'll understand why so many people keep coming back.
