Those lobes have been detected in our galaxy, yes. There’s a page from 2012 by NASA talking about it: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10918 https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/

As I understand it, recent research suggests the last time our SMBH consumed enough matter to erupt was millions of years ago, so the lobes have cooled down and are difficult to detect.
