Perched atop a hotel in Maitama, an affluent neighbourhood Abuja, Nigeria, this exquisite restaurant embraces its stunning surroundings. As a steakhouse and smoking lounge, this space combines two distinct seating styles, guaranteeing a memorable experience for every guest. Whether you seek a cozy and intimate setting or a vibrant and social atmosphere, this venue caters to your individual preferences.

Drawing inspiration from its dual-purpose nature, the design exudes a raw and “smoked” ambiance. Expansive windows gracefully frame the picturesque landscape, inviting guests to indulge in breathtaking views and bask in the warm embrace of natural light.

The use of natural materials such as exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and stone further enhances the rustic and authentic feel of the space. These elements are carefully integrated to create a harmonious balance between the ruggedness of a traditional steakhouse and the sophisticated allure of a smokers lounge.

To further amplify the smoked theme, lighting fixtures are strategically placed to create a dim and intimate ambiance, reminiscent of the gentle glow of smouldering embers. Soft, warm lighting casts subtle shadows and highlights the intricate details of the interior, adding depth and character to the space.
