Eko Kitchen - African Restaurant — Restaurant in Cambridge

Tucked away in the beautiful Cambridge, this Nigerian restaurant caters for all groups of people from Nigerian to Caucasian and back 😁

Visited yesterday with family and friends and we had a nice time, quite comfortable seating area not spectacular.

They had the social distancing guidelines in place, best to place your order like 45mins before arrival (this reduces the waiting time). Also uses deliveroo service.

The peppersoup was fantastic, they use less salt and spice levels are highly controlled to your specifications which is good because you can then increase this to suit you 😊 apparently the 'suya' is a must-have

The food was good (not the best that I have had) and quantity was good for the pricing, wide variety of options to choose from including the drinks and the owners are a very pleasant couple.

Could be abit tidier but still clean so no issues.

Location is not a problem as long as you use a sat nav however parking can be an issue as no designated spot.

There is a toilet available but again quite small, looks like it serves dual purpose of both storage area and restroom.

Overall, would recommend to...

The food and service were commendable, even surpassing my expectations. Given that West African cuisine remains unfamiliar to many, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of the dishes. Having grown up with this type of food, I can confidently say that it was well-prepared and flavorful.

However, the atmosphere could benefit from some enhancements. Investing in the restaurant's aesthetics and overall presentation would significantly elevate the dining experience.

There is much to appreciate here, along with abundant potential for growth and improvement.

Overall, I’m glad I chose to dine here. It was a rewarding experience. While the prices might be daunting for some, the rarity of encountering genuine African cuisine makes this a unique opportunity worth embracing.

It should have been a zero star rating, but for the fact that I needed to put in a star, so as to get on to this page.

Very poor customer service, food was highly overpriced for the quantity served, we wanted to eat it in, but despite the fact that there were chairs and it had a restaurant setting, we were told we couldn't eat it in, I was stunned.

When the food was eventually prepared and brought out, I had to confirm if it was our order or not, the whole package wouldn't have gone for anything less than £20 even in london, yet we paid £45, and as if that was not enough, the food was tasteless when we got home and started eating.

I won't recommend this restaurant to anybody, unless the management improves on their services. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Nothing to write home about. Total waste of...
