I ordered jollof rice without meat, which came with plantains, and also tried the chicken suya, served with sliced onions and a spicy pepper sauce. The pepper sauce was quite intense for those unaccustomed to heat, but I really enjoyed it! I also sampled the ayamase, served with white rice and plantains.
The chicken suya portion was generous and flavorful, just like the jollof rice and plantains. This was my first time trying ayamase, as I love discovering new dishes. It was surprisingly delicious, with a taste that reminded me of dried seaweed used in sushi. The dish included various meats and even a boiled egg.

You definitely need to check this place out! It has a spacious interior and is quite bustling. Takeout orders are placed at the front window. There’s also a bar and outdoor seating available. The food is freshly made to order, which is why it can take some time, so be sure to order an appetizer. I would suggest adding a full salad with some kind of greens, as I love my vegetables. I would definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant!
Ike’s Cafe And Grill was fantastic! We ordered the Ayamase and Red Red (with chicken) combos, along with a side of jollof. Every dish was delicious, and the portions were generous. Our server was friendly, attentive, and offered helpful recommendations and clear explanations of the menu. If you’re looking to try something different, Ike’s is definitely worth a visit.
The customer service at Ike’s Cafe And Grill was outstanding! However, if you’re sensitive to spicy food, I’d suggest steering clear of the soups. The jollof rice was a bit of a letdown for me—it tasted somewhat burnt, like it was the last bit left in the pot. On the bright side, the fufu was absolutely amazing!

My first experience at an African restaurant and I enjoyed EVERYTHING about it!! The live music was my favorite. I enjoyed the culture and dancing. The food was pretty good as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
