Eko African Restaurant and Banquet Hall

First time enjoying Nigerian... and it was delicious! Got the Iyan fufu, goat and egusi stew. We also tried the chicken and joffa rice. We loved every bite.Staff was friendly and were excited to make sure we ordered all the right things. Can't wait to tour through more of the menu! Be back soon!

Now I am open to everything - I am enjoying the spicy goat and jollof but the price compared to what I ordered - a crime! You can't even get a cup of water, you have to buy a bottle. I paid $20 for a to go container of rice and a palm full of goat - not to mention I paid $10 to get in. It's Saturday, midnight and it's pretty empty. The bartenders are super friendly and on top of things but it's a disappointment for this place to be this empty and..boring - the songs are hit or miss, more folks are sitting around instead of dancing to the music.Update: my friend got me to stay, it's 1am and it's getting pretty busy!

Ok so this was my first experience here and our server who's name I forget was so lovely. She had great recommendations and was so friendly. She asked what we liked and took it from there. I ordered a morsel meal Egusi, with pounded yam and sobolo... oh words can't describe how happy I am to have tried this place. My sister tried the chicken and collard meal and my niece chicken and jollof Everyone was happy and we enjoyed our meal as it wasn't alot of people it was a very relaxed atmosphere and welcoming to us all. I will be back!! We all ate dinner for $50.

Owner was rude! The place was dirty and we were only allowed to choose between a couple of tables. I didn't eat there because dirty dishes were on every table and it was only another couple in the place. Don't waist your time!

Food was trash. Lazy cooking, rice over cooked, everything tastes mediocre. Would never recommend. I can cook better African food in my sleep.

Went in here because the fiancée wanted to try it out, never had African food before, so figured it'd be fun to try. I'd say it was pretty good! Waitress very friendly, food tasted delicious, good spacing on the tables so it doesn't feel crowded, just a good place!I see some people making hay about how some stuff is priced differently than what it shows on the menu... this is true, but it's not a huge difference and the waitress made sure to let us know in advance. If you're too poor to afford a couple extra bucks, don't eat out at restaurants.One last note: Apple Maps led me to the wrong place when I punched this joint into the gps. Use the actual street address, don't just search for the name of the restaurant in Apple Maps.

African food is how it is listed. In fact, this is Nigerian food. There are many countries in Africa and loads of different cuisines on this continent. Not knowing much about this particular cooking style, let me highlight the things I have learned during my visit:1. Silverware is not used with every dish, this is a hands on experience. You will get a bowl with water and a whole basket full of sturdy napkins to aid you in cleaning you utensils = your fingers. (They do have forks if you want to admit defeat)2. The chicken. If you order anything with chicken please be aware that the meat is from hens.. old hens... that stuff, while tasty, is extremely tough. It almost has the consistency of jerky. 3. The rice dishes are a good entry point, if you are as clueless about the cuisine as I am. The fried rice being fairly mild and the Jollof rice packing a bit of heat.4. No alcohol here, but various bottled soft drinks and water. That said, the service is very friendly and folks explain the various dishes to you. Everybody at the table really enjoyed the meat pie. That is a must try. It's listed under appetizer and has a nice savory filling of meat and I think there are little potatoes in it too, or something similar. It looks similar to an empanada, but the crust is really light and delicious. A new favorite of mine. I had the rice with Jollof and fried rice. Both rice dishes were excellent, described above. The chicken a surprise to me, I was not prepared for the consistency of the meat. The sauce packed a punch but so nicely flavored. I even asked for more of it. FYI: We were told that they will be moving from the current location to one at Pike Plaza.

I had a of bowl egusi with greens and turkey meat. FANTASTIC! Food had the best flavor, service was great. I would recommend this place to everyone And Eko juice with Titos!! Great!

Food is nasty and unprofessional wasn't nobody trying to serve me and it was dirty and I spit the food out cause it was to nasty

The portions are small compared to the price. I ordered the egusi and fish pepper stew, I thought it came with fufu but it did not. That was disappointing . I expected more. I quart of soup/stew for $13 and $15 with fufu. The spice was nice! I had my order delivered GrubHub but for as little food as I had I thought it would arrive at least warm. This was my first and sadly last time ordering from Eko.A. Lane
