Eko Bar & Restaurant is a vibrant West African culinary and social hub located in the iconic “Tiger” building on Wick Road. Founded by the Ajayi family and now led by a dynamic second generation, Eko (the Yoruba word for Lagos) celebrates over 20 years of heritage. It is far more than a restaurant; it is a cultural destination where traditional Nigerian stews meet a contemporary lounge atmosphere, complete with live Afrobeats and a deluxe interior.
