A wonderful experience for the taste buds and the staff is lovely!
The eclectic decor is part of the charm, and is the reminder of the many influences of the cuisine: Middle east, African and British.
We had mainly small plates and the grilled aubergine with rice (totally recommend!) as a big one + dessert.
My favorite dish was the Burrata salad: fresh and delicious (burrata, endives, figs, walnuts, fresh cranberries and pomegranate)
The trout was very good. The portion was really tiny on that one though...
The chickpea chips were interesting and the portion was good, same with the crispy crushed potatoes.
I'm not a fan of Scotch eggs but we thought that, in such a place, it could only be good. And it was moist and flavorful.
The Banaa cake was soooo good! But if I was to have it again it would be without the sea of salted caramel it was served in: way too sugary and almost overwhelming the taste of the cake. Which also had a scoop of salted caramel ice-cream. I think the cake with the topping is enough.
Just remember it's on the pricey side (given the location, I assume the walls aren't cheap) and you'll be fine.
We interacted with different members of the staff and they were all super helpful and professional. We stayed until the last minute (hence the empty room shots haha) and no one made us feel like we were overstaying our welcome. Very gracious.
thoroughly enjoyed the food at Jikoni's. It's innovative, punchy and exciting. With a mix of flavours from around the world, you're savouring every spoonful. Would recommend this place for sure. We sat outside, because all tables were booked indoors. So early booking is a must if you want to enjoy sitting inside. But if weather's good then outside is great. We were a bit nippy, but they have heaters and blankets on stand-by. Attentive staff and good service.
Really interesting menu lots of combination of different cuisines and flavours in indivual dishes and across the menu.
Very tasty for brunch and great service had a slight mishap but they made up for it with an extra side.
The prawn toast scotch egg particularly good with the banana ketchup and pickle, and Achari Mary (bloody Mary with lime pickle) worked surprisingly well as a more refreshing Bloody Mary riff.
Fabulous place!! I was SO impressed by this little gem of a restaurant. Food was gorgeous! My quail was amazing and my Aunts mussels were superb. Great cocktails and I got a bit of their banana loaf with a candle in it for my birthday. So sweet 🥰 Would thoroughly recommend and I can't wait to go back.
We absolutely loved the food, wine and atmosphere ( we were outside on a balmy London evening) .. - thank you to our waiter who we let choose our dishes and who did so brilliantly so that we had a wide variety of thé menu offerings. Thé innovative use/pairing of often unusual ingredients is really a knock-out when done like this. It has been our stand-out meal so far in the UK and we’ve been eating out for 2.5 weeks! Don’t change anything is our firm wish.
Excellent asian restaurant for a modern take on some classic Indian / African flavours. Chef was born in Kenya with Indian heritage and showcases an incredible fusion of flavours and influences at the highest level. Aloo Chat was mindblowing. And the kenyan chicken curry is a blast. Really recommended if you are around Marylebone area. Excellent service.
The best lunch I think I have ever had… amazing flavours, like nothing our group had had before. Cherritni, chaat and pudding were highlights. And the sticky aubergine ❤️
Great place ! Was so good to try something a bit different. Staff were great and really enthusiastic about their offerings. The Hake curry was my fave dish and if you like something sweet, the banana cake was very yum !
Recently visited London, we patronized a number of restaurants but Jikoni stood out. The food is comforting, well executed and healing. The crispy aubergine is the best aubergine I've ever had... never knew it could have such a crunch! The restaurant honors all diets but really shines with it's plant based cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and a calm reprieve from a bustling city. The staff is welcoming and personable. We ended up going back for dinner to complete our trip.
Lots of veggie options. I had the corn pancakes with scrambled eggs. Very filling. The atmosphere is homey, service is polite and food is yummy.
