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.
