So let me continue within my series "Dining out in..." which I started during the last project in Qatar. Now Nigeria, mainly in the beginning out of Abuja, but maybe there are more locations to come.



This time now Dunes. Located not far away from the Hilton, Dunes is well known to everyone here in Abuja. There's a supermarket on the ground floor offering quite a range of products except alcohol. Run by Lebanese also there's no pork available, the meat is halal.

When you enter the supermarket, there is a snack restaurant in the middle, just on your way to the meat and cheese counter in the back of the supermarket. This snack restaurant opens to the patio and offers nice shadow seats there, so you can easily enjoy your lunch break. Or go for dinner at night.

Dunes offers starters, burgers and sandwiches (as well as single pieces or as platters accompagnied with chips and cole slaw), shish kebap, salads, meat dishes, pasta and pizza. Other than the supermarket they also offer beer here, Star, Gulder and Heineken.

The prices are ok, but keep in mind that a 10 per cent service charge will be added. Sandwiches are most times small baguettes, nicely filled and slightly toasted. Pizzas have a good size, rich toppings and the dough is thin and crispy outside. Tastes very good. Prices are in a range around NGN 800 to 1000 for sandwiches, 1900 to 2400 for sandwich or burger platters and 2000 to 2500 for pizza, excluding service charge. Gulder and Star NGN 500, Heineken NGN 700, minerals (Coke, Sprite, Mirinda) NGN 250 to 350, depending if you take a glass bottle (250) or a plastic bottle (350).

....looks like a real tasty pizza....
