Prices stay under ₦3,000 at Mr Bigg's in ABV
In Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Mr Bigg's is the familiar Nigerian fast-food option if you want rice, snacks, or pastries before a flight. It sits airside in the passenger area, so you reach it after security in either T1 or T2 depending on current airport layout and leases. Expect counter service, trays, and self-seating rather than full table service, with quick turnover around peak bank times for Abuja departures.
A basic plate of jollof rice or fried rice with protein usually lands in the ₦2,000–₦3,000 range, while snacks like meat pies and doughnuts often sit around ₦500–₦1,000 each. Portions run on the modest side compared with city branches, so if you are hungry before a 5–6 hour regional flight, order an extra side. Soft drinks and bottled water are standard Nigerian brands, typically under ₦800 per bottle.
Food is standard Mr Bigg's fare: rice, chicken, meat pies, scotch eggs, and pastries held in warmers. Turnover depends on the time of day; during late-morning and early-evening waves tied to Lagos and regional departures, dishes refresh faster. Early afternoon and late-night flights out of T2 sometimes hit a lull, so check how long items have been sitting in the display before paying.
Hours track the airport schedule, with Mr Bigg's usually open from early morning around the first bank of domestic flights to the last departures near 22:00–23:00. Card payment is hit-or-miss across Nigerian airports, so plan on paying in cash naira and keep smaller notes; staff often struggle to break ₦5,000 and ₦10,000 bills quickly when a T1 or T2 bank of flights arrives at once.
Tip: if your gate in T2 is called but boarding has not started, grab sealed items like meat pies and drinks to take to the seating area rather than trying to eat a full plate in the restaurant.
