Jiko Restaurant At Tribe Hotel Review & Experience

About three months or so ago, we decided to stop by Jiko Restaurant which is located in Tribe Hotel and of course I wanted to share the experience and review with you guys. Fun fact, Jiko in Swahili means cooking stove and it usually uses charcoal. A little like a barbecue grill.

Shoutout to my cousin for taking these awesome pictures and going the extra mile!

The Vibe

The vibe was immaculate, such a lovely place and oddly enough there were lots of lilies everywhere which are my favourite flower!

The Food

The food was amazing, it wasn’t overly spiced but everything tasted fresh and delicious. I also liked that they had a lot of options, not just the bare minimum when it came to vegan and vegetarian food.

We had the Cauliflower 65, Mushroom Pita, Fries (of course!), Paneer Tikka, Lemon Rice, Plantain & Soy Tempura, and a veggie lasagna (I can’t find the pic for it for some reason). My favourite was the cauliflower and the sandwich.

For dessert, I forget what it was but I think it was banana bread with ice cream and it was really good. The bread part was very moist and not too sweet.

Overall

Overall, it was so much fun. The place was lovely, the food was great, the staff was kind and helpful. If you’re ever in the area, do check out Jiko Restaurant. I will say though, I think dinner would be best because it looks so good with all the lights switched on and everything.

    1. Aw haha thank you. Maybe someday I’ll own my own restaurant 😂
      The decor was so lovely, it also showcased a lot of African art which we loved. It was actually quite packed (there was a birthday table right next to us!) but people are generally quiet here.
      The portions were so perfect for four people, we were quite stuffed actually. Haha I’m sure your wife’s food is just as amazing!

      1. Thank You Pooja
        Keep The Fun
        Days Dining
        With SMiles☺️🙌

  8. This restaurant looks so wonderful, Pooja! I liked the aesthetics and the flowers that made for such a beautiful vibe. The food indeed looks delicious, too. The chicken meals sound delicious, too. 👍☺️

    1. It was so lovely and all the dishes were really delicious! 😋

  9. Interesting vibe, decor, and plants! It’s a place to spend time in. And the food looks good.

    1. Yeah, it was so well decorated and the food was great!

  10. Every time I see one of your restaurant reviews and the portions, I am reminded of the contrast with restaurants here in the US. The portions I see in your reviews are healthy, normal sized portions. I wish our restaurants did the same :-/

    1. I enjoy seeing videos/images of American foods but yeah I don’t think those portions would be healthy to have especially regularly. Portion control is incredibly important.

  11. Beautiful ambience, and lovely presentations of the food. Thank you for sharing, Pooja.

    1. Thank you, yeah it was a great night and such a lovely place.

  12. Sounds and looks like a very extravagant scene; the picture are very good 📸👌👌, and it’s great to know what the staff and service was like as well 👍😆. You looked incredible my dear 💙💃💙

  13. I love the atmosphere, Pooja. The lighting fixtures are very unique. It’s a plus that the food was good. Thanks for sharing!

  14. What a beautiful restaurant! Thanks for sharing, Pooja!

  15. Wonderful review and photos! Everything looks so nice.

  16. I love the decoration and the photos are perfect.

  17. Looks like my kind of place.

  18. Ambiance is spot on. Another lovely dinner! <3
