Signature dishes: Asun Gizzard $18, Catfish Pepper Soup $32, Plantain Chips $12, Oxtail Stew $45, Pounded Yam & Ewe Du $16, Jollof Risotto $26.
Problem: Most Naija menus look cheap laminated. Solution: Black + gold foil with tribal corners, modern luxury that makes Amala feel like $50/plate. Print A3 + Instagram menu version.
Tools: Figma + Illustrator + Custom Gold Texture LEILA min LEBNEN — Elegant Lebanese Luxury Menu for VI Lagos. Black + gold foil, $14-$38 pricing. Designed to feel like $50/plate hotel menu. Print-ready A3 + Instagram Story. Luxury fine dining menu for a VI, Lagos restaurant with 185 gold fairy lights ceiling. Client wanted menu to feel like dining under real stars — not cheap laminated menu.
I built black + gold foil concept with real starfield texture, constellation sparkle border, gold serif typography. Layout optimizes $12-$120 pricing (Small Chops to Mixed Suya Platter for 2) to increase average ticket.
Problem: Ceiling was 5-star, menu was 2-star — mismatch killing perceived value.
Solution: Menu now matches the experience — Instagram-ready, print-ready, feels like $50/plate.
