Private dining in Abuja: a room of your own, for the evening that cannot go wrong.
Three private rooms, one long table and a courtyard, off a quiet street in Wuse II. Book a table for two, or take the whole place — the price is on this page either way.
Tell us what the evening is. We will tell you the room and the number.
Minimum spends in this city are usually a secret until you have already fallen in love with the room. Ours are here, and they change with the day of the week, so pick a date and see.
Pick a date and a number and this will change.
Three doors, and one that closes behind you.
The Ìtàn Room seats fourteen around one slab of iroko. The Long Table takes twenty-six and has its own bar. The Courtyard holds forty seated under the frangipani, sixty if nobody sits down.

We will cook it at your house, too.
Weddings in Katampe, a fiftieth in Asokoro, a board dinner in a house with a kitchen nobody has ever used properly. We bring the kitchen, the people and the plates, and we leave the place cleaner than the caterer before us did.
Small chops and canapés from ₦9,500 a head. Buffet from ₦21,000. Plated, three courses, from ₦28,000. Choose Catering, away from us in the form above and it will price your headcount.
Nobody has ever been asked to leave.
The kitchen closes at 22:30. The room does not. If your table is still talking at one in the morning, the bar stays open and somebody will find you a car home.
Three evenings from the last month.
A fiftieth birthday, twenty-six at the Long Table
The family brought the cake; we kept it cold, cut it and plated it. The tasting menu ran until 22:30 and the table was still talking after one.
A board dinner, fourteen in the Ìtàn Room
Halal throughout on four days' notice, a vegetarian version for two directors, and a door that closed on the rest of the house for three hours.
A wedding-eve dinner, sixty in the Courtyard
A full buyout, so corkage was waived and the families brought their own wine. Valet from 18:00, and cars home arranged by the host.
The things you would otherwise have to ask on the phone.
Holding a date
We hold any room for 48 hours on a message, with nothing paid. After that it goes back on the calendar. To confirm, a private room takes 30% and the rest settles on the night.
Minimum spend, plainly
It is a floor on the bill, not a fee — everything you spend on food and drink counts towards it. Friday and Saturday are higher because those rooms would otherwise be sold twice.
Corkage and cake
₦15,000 a bottle if you bring your own wine, waived on a full buyout. Bring your own cake for free; we will keep it cold, cut it and plate it for the table.
Dietary and religious
Tell the host at booking, not on the night. Everything can be done halal with four days' notice, and there is always a full vegetarian version of the tasting menu.
Getting here and parking
Off Aminu Kano Crescent, third turning past the roundabout, black gate with no sign. Valet from 18:00. There is space for eleven cars inside and the street takes about twenty more.
Children
Welcome at lunch and until 20:00 in the dining room and courtyard. The Long Table after eight is for adults, which is usually why people book it.
