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.

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.

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.

Great food here, stopped in for lunch towards the end of the service but was still treated exceptionally well. Wonderful value proposition (£28 for 2 courses, £32 for 3 courses). Seems to have won quite a few accolades over the time it’s been open and I’d agree it’s certainly worth it, highly creative food, good vegan options, attentive and skilled waitstaff. Great interior which really does make one feel quite at ease. Hope to be back again sometime soon!

This is my first stop every visit to London. Divinely seasoned, gorgeously curated flavours. Warm, generous service. Taste, skill, imagination, joie de vivre and unpretentious, lush presentation. A pioneer combining excellence, integrity, whimsy and flavour. This maverick freedom of sensibility & imagination that can inspire all.
