Jikoni

Jikoni offers a very pleasant dining experience overall. The food is good rather than outstanding - the signature pancakes were interesting and unique, though slightly lacking in flavour, while the rest of the dishes were well executed. Desserts stood out, especially the cheesecake, which was excellent. What really makes the place shine is the service: genuinely warm, attentive, and thoughtful, with a waiter who even treated us to a little extra. Quietly rated: worth stopping.

Amazing food! The salad and scotch eggs were surprisingly good and the overall ambience of the place was great. The only thing I was surprised by were the portions, given the prices I’d have expected bigger portions.

Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was perfect with soft lighting and comfortable seating. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for top-rated restaurants near Marylebone London. As they mentioned..it’s a no border kitchen which serves food inspired by different cultures and flavours. We tried kale chat , vada pao bun , melon salad, green bean and cashew thoran, kuku paka with saffron rice which was a coconut based curry which we really enjoyed. Banana bread is a must try 😊 overall the best experience we had yesterday. Highly recommend this place to everyone…we will surely be back again to try rest of the menu 😊

Searching for a Restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. Found Jikoni on CN Traveller review as one of the most romantic restaurants in London. Homely and relaxing feel and decor. Excellent Fusion food of African Indian taste reflecting the owner's Kenyan roots, I believe. Service stuff was efficient and good delivery was timely. Busy place cosy restaurant.The Venison samosa with Beetroot chutney was very tasty. The Chickpea Panisse that my wife had was delicious. She had the Hake and Moules with saffron rice was very tasty and inventive. I had the Scrag End pie (pulled lamb cottage pie) which was nicely flavoured , I think there should be more to accompany it like a salad, etc..looks bare. The paan Madeleine was made to order, warm and crispy with a touch of fennel seed. They give us a complimentary Banana cake for my wife's birthday was excellent. It was a lovely experience but mared by a freshly printed till recipe nonchalantly put on the table. Was expecting the bill to be put on a small tray or receipt holder/presenter. Feels careless. The nice gesture but afterthought of offering us complimentary fudge whilst we were putting on our coats feels out of sink. Tasty inventive fusion food but expensive price point for the Mains Courses and seafood items.

It's a nice place, I liked the interior and design. The colorful tablecloths create a cozy atmosphere. I didn't like the food; the presentation left much to be desired. The cocktails weren't impressive either; I had a Mimosa
