    Went there on a Sunday and the place was PACKED! 😂 If you are into EDM, Ooonnnttss and Urban music, then this is the place for you. It has good music and a young, urban and multi racial crowd. I didn't eat so I don't know about the food, maybe next time 😊 You can smoke outdoors, they have seats, barrels, tuktuks and umbrellas for a very scenic and ambient feeling. Carry something warm though before the akoho kicks in 😂 Only issue is it takes time to get served, probably coz of the crowd, and they close at 12am 😭 so more of a pre game or for those early nights👌🏾

    Geco Café. A wonderful place for food, drinks & good vibes. I'm here as Ochiko & The Elementz Band perform tonight. Thursdays are amazing here! The live music is really good. Fridays are for Jazztified! Highly recommend. The people are very friendly as well. The service team can get a little overwhelmed when the place is packed but, they do manage. Their food is really nice & fresh. Cool Vibes.

    The place had a great vibe. We were a big group, so it was challenging to get everyone together, but the staff were helpful in accommodating us. Orders took some time, likely due to peak hours. However, the billing process was inconvenient—they should have handled it right after ordering or done it separately, instead of chasing people afterwards. It also took forever to finalize

    Absolute madness on Thursdays, with live music, great food, and friendly service. You should be aware that things get quite busy after around 7 pm, so make sure you come early or bring some time. The meat platter was super nice, and my recommendation is also the samosa plate, which tasted really good. Overall amazing vibe, perfect for any occasion, with live music on dedicated days.

    The vibes here are immaculate, definitely giving a perfect balance between local charm and a touch of international flair. The food? Solid. The music? Even better. The live band sets in between were easily the highlight of the night, such a cool way to keep the energy going. Parking was no stress (which is a big win in my books) and the customer service was genuinely on point. Overall, this spot is worth the hype and I’d totally recommend it if you’re looking for a place that delivers both on experience and atmosphere.
