Ini's Hotspot is the best restaurant I've been to in my 6 months in Abeokuta. It has such a beautiful and quiet ambience for a place so good and has almost everything good you're looking. Fancy wall paintings and sign-posts, it's just a great place to be. Their vegetable is arguably the best I've ever tasted and their customer service is top-notch. They could work on the waiting time for meal preparations though. Despite how far it is, I'm definitely going back very very soon.
Enjoyable meal. I feel this restaurant isn't hyped enough. It deserves some flower. The bitter leaf and ogbono soup here are superb.The staffers are warm.
The food here is fantastic. When next I'm in Abeokuta, I must visit. There were 9 of us that went to eat - no complaints whatsoever, everyone enjoyed their food. The service was very good, too.
Very tasty food .....Really enjoyed my selections
Great foodGreat atmosphereFun experience
Was looking to get some local food and found this spot. They make the food fresh so it will take 20-30minutes to prepare. Had the Ogbono and it was a 10/10. I for sure will come back here any time visiting Abeokuta. The atmosphere is nice especially if there is a match on since it's set up like a lounge/bar to watch game or just eat with friends.
Serene environment. The Banga soup was a bang!But what I don't understand was the staffs taking the glass cups we were supposed to use on our table.
An amazing discovery in the city of Abeokuta. The food was fantastic. A must visit if you go through the town. Pounded yam and afang soup with goat meat (my preference) will make you go back!!!
