Crack Wings (Ikeja, Lagos) 11B Issac John, Ikeja, Lagos | Phone | Instagram We visited Crack Wings for the second time and we are staring to think the first visit was just a luck card. The cozy little spot within the compound of Burg.co boasts a serene and beautiful ambiance. The interior features lovely colors and sets a nice atmosphere. However, it’s worth mentioning although the setting was lovely, we found the customer service to be at the bare minimum.
