Opened on September 20th, Jikoni is located on Marylebone’s Blandford Street.
Last week, Ravinder Bhogal who is probably best known for her articles, books and TV appearances – as well as a series of successful residencies launched her debut restaurant on Marylebone’s Blandford Street. Jikoni, meaning ‘kitchen’ in Swahili, will draw on Ravinder’s mixed heritage and travels, with flavours and culinary traditions from Britain, East Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. As Chef Patron, she’s teamed up with restaurateur Ratnesh Bagdai, who has been with Caprice restaurants, Hix, Brindisa and many more.
The team won the hotly contested site from Portman Estate on Blandford Street earlier this year and are extremely excited to open their local restaurant in what they see as one of central London’s “true neighbourhood areas with a friendly pavement culture”. The space was designed in a collaboration lead by London studio, Creative Family, and taken inspiration from the maternal kitchens of Ravinder’s childhood.
The menu will include;
