Trying a new restaurant is always exciting, but let’s be honest, sometimes the menu can have you pretending you know exactly what you want while secretly waiting for someone else at the table to order first.

At Demi’s, we get it.

There’s a lot to choose from, especially when the food is rich, bold, comforting, and packed with flavor, or in our case filled with a lot of dishes that taste straight from home. So for anyone visiting us for the first time, consider this your friendly guide to building the perfect first plate.

Start with the classics.

A plate of jollof rice is always a strong introduction. It’s warm, flavorful, familiar, and easy to pair with almost anything on the menu. Add our grilled chicken for that smoky, satisfying finish, or go for our juicy spicy beef if you like your plate with a little more kick. It’s the kind of combination that tells you very quickly what Demi’s is about: generous food, proper seasoning, and no bland bites.

For something a little richer, try our Goat meat in sauce. It brings that sweet, savory, saucy flavor that works beautifully with rice, especially when you want something that feels a bit more special than your everyday meal. Pair it with fried rice or rice and peas, and you’ve got a plate that feels both comforting and indulgent.

Now, for the people who like to explore properly, this is where things get interesting.

Our eforiro and pounded yam are for anyone who wants a more traditional, filling, hands-on dining experience. It’s rich, hearty, and perfect for people who like food that feels like it was made with love and intention. Add some pepper soup on the side, and suddenly your meal has gone from “let’s grab food” to “we’re staying here for a while.”

Of course, not every visit has to be an all-out affair.

Sometimes you just want a table full of small bites, drinks, and conversation. That’s where dishes like sweet and spicy chicken wings, moi moi, short ribs, and grilled options come in. They’re easy to share, easy to enjoy, and perfect for groups who want to taste a little bit of everything without committing to just one plate.

And because Demi’s is not only about the food, don’t skip the drinks.

Our cocktail menu gives your meal the perfect lift, especially during Happy Hour from 12 PM to 6 PM, where you can enjoy two cocktails for the price of one. Whether you’re going for a Long Island Iced Tea, Cosmopolitan, Pornstar Martini, Sex on the Beach, Tropical Twist, or Marley Punch, there’s always something that fits the mood of the table.

Asides from that enjoy our large array of drinks ranging from beers, Nigerian drinks you love to see, and a variety of coctails and mocktails that aren’t on the Happy Hour Menu

So, what should you order on your first visit?

Here’s the honest answer: come hungry, come curious, and don’t be afraid to mix it up.

Start with jollof. Add grilled chicken, spicy beef. Try the wings for the table. Order a cocktail. Then, when you come back the second time and you probably will try the dish you were eyeing on someone else’s plate.

That’s the beauty of eating at Demi’s.

One visit gives you a taste. The next one lets you explore.
