★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Taler Osborne · Nov 2025

When we entered the dark nearly empty space. There wasn’t a server in sight. Two minutes in no server. I went to the register 30 second wait and a young woman comes from the kitchen. I told her we needed a menu and started small talk about food recommendations. She replied wait until you sit down, bad vibe from her! She gave food recommendations. I ordered bitter leaf soup, IT WAS HORRIBLE!! We ordered strips of spicy beef and wanted another order. The server had to be flagged down despite the fact there were only 4 people in the room. She never checked on us to see if we needed anything! $88.00 dollars for 3 people including the tip we left hungry and disappointed since all reviews for Ecko Africa were good! THE SERVICE AND FOOD BELOW EXPECTATIONS!! It’s a club on Sunday’s’ but the lights

This is my fifth time here. I'm from NY, but Eko never misses! The egusi was so rich and satisfying, and the jollof rice was perfectly seasoned and delicious. Definitely coming back

★★★★★ 5.0 Osha Ezell · Sep 2025

I come here at least twice a month, and every single time it’s an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Eko truly knows how to deliver on taste. I usually order the Egusi and Efo, and they never disappoint; the portions are generous and seasoned to perfection. Beyond the food, the customer service is consistently warm, attentive, and welcoming, which makes the entire visit feel even better. Eko isn’t just a restaurant.. it’s a whole vibe. On Sunday nights especially, the atmosphere is lively and full of energy, making it the perfect spot to eat, socialize, and enjoy good company.

Although I am African American, this was my first time trying African food. My 12 year old son had done his research and talked me into trying this restaurant. We went in and ordered then sat at the bar waiting for our food to take home. While waiting,I received a call . I handed the cash to my son from a pouch that has a strap to carry around the wrist. I stepped out of the restaurant for about five minutes. When I return our food wasn't quite ready so I return to my seat next to my son at the bar. Soon after the young lady called us to the cash register with our food . We paid Fifty eight dollars for two entries and fufu. I grab the bag from the countervbut they cashier insisted that I look at the meals. I took my pouch from around my wrist and placed it on the counter next to the bag an
