From the moment we walked into this Caribbean and Nigerian restaurant, the warmth and hospitality were unmatched. Helen went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavour a true fusion of Caribbean soul and Nigerian heart. If you’re looking for exceptional service, authentic flavours, and a place where you leave with both a full stomach and a full heart, this is the spot.

Went to Lit with friends yesterday evening and I was pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were really nice. The food was 10/10 and the variety was excellent. Good atmosphere and good music. They were busy but their service was on point. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. They have a Nigerian, Jamaican and Chinese chefs so the infusion is just amazing. Food was well seasoned and the presentation excellent. A very enjoyable evening with good food and drinks and polite and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.
