EKO Restaurant

I visited this restaurant in October 2025 after recommending it to many people without trying it out. I was attracted to the name and vibes based on online pictures. I have a mixed review. 1. The decor and esthetics are beautiful. The seating can be tight depending on the side on the room but it is manageable. The loudness of the music is tolerable but made conversations difficult. 2. Food, drinks, and menu- The drinks were good 4 out 5 only because the cup used for soda is small. Please read the menu entirely with a magnifying glass and bright lights. Typical Nigerian restaurants serve soups with meat for one price. This restaurant charges you separately for the soup and separately for the meat. This was a major turn off. This makes the meal unnecessarily expensive. We ordered the soup platter and jellof rice. The rice was ok 3 out 5. The chicken was ok 4 out 5. The soup was great 5 out of 5. Portion sizes were good. 3. Customer service- We didnt wait long to be seated on a friday without reservations. Party of 3. The host was polite. Waitress was a bit slow. She kept forgetting one or two things here and there. Forgivable. When we had issues with out food and bill we requested to speak with a manager. The manager made us wait until she finished a very long conversation with a staff before attending to us. The place is not that big so everything is obvious. She was not helpful but rather argumentative. Instead of explaining things, she argued that we should have read the menu. Her body language and tone was not acceptable. We paid in annoyance and left. Would I recommend this place? Probably for drinks, appetizers, and vibes. Would I return? I might give it another chance just to be fair.

From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. My server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The restaurant itself was clean and beautifully decorated. It’s clear they care about both quality and customer experience. My bartender was amazing friendly, attentive, and made the best drinks all night!
