Eko African Cuisine - Indianapolis

I was really looking forward to trying Fufu and Egusi for the first time, but I was unfortunately disappointed. The food was served cold, and the meat was old, dry, and tough. I'm not sure what was going on, as our waitress was very sweet, but that didn't make up for the meal. I can't see myself returning to this place.

I came in late on a Friday night. The kitchen would be closing soon. Aside from this, everyone was very nice. The bouncer, bartender, and waitress all said no problem we will help you. Very kind. I skimmed through the menu and had a back and forth conversation with the waitress about what may be available so late. A few things weren't possible but we landed on a few things. As for the food. The jollof rice was right correct color and cooked well. Inside it had some vegetables and pepper. But it was not hot peppers, there was no spice. It was a bit extra oily. The flavor was good though. The goat meat with the jollof was very well cooked, and satisfactory. Very little spice. The egusi is filling with iyan is filling. The iyan is perfect. The egusi though was a bit too salty and strangely sour. Still ate it. The moin moin had an excellent flavor. The egg was a bit over done, but still wonderful. Sadly it had a couple bits of aluminum foil inside of it. The menu prices listed are not what is shown on the receipt. You will expect to pay 20% more than what the menu states. For a dine in restaurant the prices are average. The problem is the portion size does not match the price. I would say this food is pseudo- nigerian traditional, but with a fast food feel, and a fancy restaurant price. I am sure they are great at catering, but the menu needs to stay up to date. People dont like to see a different price after they pay.

Although extremely delicious? this is a kids meal portion for $16. I have to look elsewhere

Tasty and delicious meal. Clean and great ambience. Bathrooms clean too. Servers are very polite with gorgeous smiles. 100% recommend. Relished each savory meal.

The food here is so flavorful and unique, and the waitresses were very patient with us as we tried to navigate the unfamiliar menu. The prices did not match at all what was on the menu. We ended up paying almost double what we expected for the meal, and they charged us for water $2.78 for each glass of water?! . I feel like we got gypped because of the confusing and new experience. The food is definitely worth trying, but just be prepared to pay a lot more than you expect.
