The Item 7 Promise

More Than
A Meal.

"We cook the way our grandmothers did — with fire, patience, and real ingredients. Then we plate it for the Lagos you deserve."

Item 7 was born in a roadside kitchen in Surulere with one pot and a dream. Today we are Lagos's most loved food destination — seven locations, one soul. Every recipe honours the streets that raised us while pushing what Nigerian food can become.

Warm lighting, handpicked Afrobeat curation, and service that feels like family. For the unhurried Lagos meal.

Private Events

Birthday drops, corporate lunches, brand activations. We turn every gathering into an editorial moment.

Our Roots

Crafted in Lagos.

Item 7 started in 2015 when Chef Tunde Adeyemi left a fine-dining kitchen in London and came home. He wanted to prove that Nigerian food deserved the same reverence as French cuisine — the same technique, the same pride, but with our own fire and identity.

The name? In Yoruba markets, item seven was always the one thing the trader kept behind the stall — the best piece, reserved for someone who truly appreciated it. That's what we serve every day.

100% Nigerian Ingredients

We source every herb, pepper, and protein from verified local farmers within 150km of each location.

The Open Kitchen

Nothing is hidden. Every Item 7 has a fully open kitchen so you watch your food be made from fire to table.

Community First

15% of every menu item funds our "Feed Lagos" programme — one plate purchased, one plate donated.

What Guests Say

Real Words from Real People

"The Suya Platter changed my life. I have been to restaurants in London, Dubai and Abuja — Item 7 VI beats all of them for vibes and flavour."

Tolani Adeyemi

Food Blogger · Lagos

"The Cold Brew Zobo is something I didn't know I needed. Item 7 has perfectly blended tradition with modernity. My whole office now comes here for lunch."

Emeka Okafor

Tech Founder · Yaba

"We held our brand's anniversary dinner here. The private room, the custom menu, the live DJ — everything was perfect. Item 7 really understood the assignment."

Amara Nwosu

Creative Director · Lagos

"I flew in from Abuja specifically for Item 7. That Smoky Jollof hits differently. The open kitchen, the vibe, the music — this is the future of Nigerian dining."
