Catering in Ajah: Nigerian Food for Events from De Dem's

Event food becomes easier when the request is specific. De Dem's Restaurant in Ajah can help guests ask about Nigerian rice dishes, soups, proteins, pastries, drinks, pickup timing, and event-food coordination before the date arrives.

The restaurant is at KM 25 Lekki-Epe Expressway, close to Abraham Adesanya Roundabout. That location is practical for birthdays, office gatherings, church meetings, family events, small parties, and group meals around Ajah, Ajiwe, Sangotedo, and the Lekki-Epe corridor.

Start with the guest count and event time

A catering inquiry should begin with the number of guests, the date, the preferred serving time, and whether the food is for pickup, delivery coordination, or a nearby venue. These details help the restaurant confirm what is realistic before you build the full menu request.

Choose rice dishes for broad appeal

Jollof rice, fried rice, native rice, white rice and stew, coconut rice, seafood rice, prawns basmati rice, special basmati rice, and asun special rice are useful bases for groups because they can be paired with different proteins, plantain, moi moi, salad, and drinks.

Add soups and swallow when guests expect a fuller meal

For Nigerian events, soup can be as important as rice. Ask about egusi, afang, oha, ogbono, nsala, okro, banga, bitter leaf, or seafood okro, then specify the swallow options needed for the group. Clear soup and swallow counts reduce last-minute confusion.

Include drinks, snacks, and serving notes

Zobo, fresh juice, soft drinks, water, meat pie, chicken pie, sausage rolls, bread, cakes, and parfait can make a catering request more complete. If the food needs labels, separate packs, or a specific pickup window, include those notes in the first WhatsApp message.
