It's a short car ride from the Sheraton - take a car so that you know how to get there. Then, it's about a 15-20 minute walk back to the Sheraton.
There is also Fang Fang, the local Chinese restaurant - again a short 10-15 minute walk from the Sheraton.
Food at the Sheraton is overpriced and uninteresting.
I'd like to second Bamboola's suggestions -- haven't eaten at Ekitobero but it is highly regarded.
In any case, make sure you have some
matoke (boiled and mashed green banana) with groundnut sauce and
ugali (maize porrige that reminds me of grits).
Cheers,
