Jikoni.
With a michelin star under their belt, it goes without saying that the food here is second to none. With flavours inspired by owner Ravinder’s mixed heritage and culture, you can expect influences from South Asia & the Far East, the Middle East, East Africa and Britain.
As one of London's leading influencers of progress and diversity in the capital, Ravinder regularly hosts events at Jikoni to support charities, including a Community Lunch Plate’ which changes daily and donates £1 from each plate to The Felix Project and Marylebone Food Cycle. Both charities support improving nutrition and food security both locally in London and across the UK.
Oh and if that wasn’t quite enough to get you booking your next meal out, Jikoni became the first independent independent restaurant in the country to go carbon-neutral in 2021. Nailed it.
