Iko's Garden Davao — Restaurant in Davao City

I've been to this place a few times with friends or by myself. I like their quiet and casual ambience. The food servings are large. For this particular visit, I commented to the waiter that the area I was at (I occupied one of the 3 umbrella-canopied square tables) was poorly lit, to which she also commented that other customers have the same comment. And as if to prove my point, a group of three that occupied one of the nearby tables gesticulated about the lighting and they eventually transferred to the better lit tables. I then nicely said to the waiter to please convey my observation to management and act on it ASAP. As for my meal, I always order their classic baby back ribs.

Went on a weeknight with friends I haven’t seen in quite a while. It’s good to have a place here in the North side of the City (where we all live) that’s quiet and in a garden setting.

The place has Al Fresco and indoor options but one of my friends was having allergies (from a cafe she went to) so we opt to choose indoor seating.

What we ordered: Pakbet bagnet as recommended by the staff Grilled tuna belly Chicken Tinibuok as recommended by the staff

The bagnet was especially tasty because of the bagoong, but I found the chicken dry and chewy. The grilled tuna was okay.

If you are in the North area (along CP Garcia going to Panacan), I recommend Iko’s for its relaxing atmosphere. The establishment is spacious as well as the parking. Perhaps I can try more...

Food: Seafood platter- shrimp and crab are fried and dipped in tasty sauce which made it special. Tinola-i was surprised that the head of the chicken is there and that was great! Sisig is awesome! Tower iced tea os available for groups. Place- clean and comfortable. 5mins or less away from the airport. I recommed this place to dine in before your flight or when you arrived from the airport, but give at least 1 and half hours allowance before your flight because the food needs time to prepare. Staff-neat and...
