If you have not reserved a table, they will not take your order. I gave up and walked away.

Usually find that vegetarian restaurants offer plenty for vegans as well, not the case here.

Avocado toast and Beyond burgers just don’t cut it anymore. The first is just an overpriced cliché past the fad and the second has to be left for emergencies in meat restaurants. This leaves us with a burrito and a falafel dish. Take out the eggs from the first and the feta from the latter. No replacements or extras c’est la vie, they call it the vegan tax. Sadly for Abigail’s there are better vegan options is some of the omni restaurants in Lagos. One could say that it’s better to support a vegetarian restaurant at least, but they pedal eggs and dairy so heavily it really doesn’t make any difference, and the owners also own meat focussed restaurants that serve burgers with patties that weigh a whole kilo. I have eaten in Abigail’s probably at least five times and although everyone’s business needs to turn a profit, I hate being an afterthought at my expense. So yeah, hence the rant. Thank you.
