    The restaurant is truly beautiful, with an African-inspired atmosphere that feels warm, earthy, and inviting. The décor blends shades of brown and green, creating a natural, calming environment, and the soft African music in the background adds an elegant cultural touch that completes the experience. Our server, Edgar, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to answer every question we had about the menu. His guidance made the evening feel personal, smooth, and elevated.The food was absolutely exquisite every dish was crafted with care, full of flavor, and presented with elegance. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. A true 5‑star dining experience. Highly recommended.

    Lo behind the bar was so lovely. She helped us choose a bottle of wine off the menu that we thoroughly enjoyed with our meal. Lo was so bright and bubbly, encouraging, shoots straight, a big part of our great experience. Sarah was also a lovely server. We had a great time. Food is top notch.

    Jiko’s is a stand out in terms of delicious and well presented meals, atmosphere, and service. We were blown away by the quality of all of the dishes and the service we had from our server, Erika. Highly recommend the New York strip (the Mac and cheese was the best mac and cheese we’ve had) and the lamb shank. The giraffe bread is visually appealing and tastes just as good.

    Quiet atmosphere and absolutely delicious cuisine. The wild boar appetizer was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The drinks are wonderful and the children’s “ostrich egg” was such a neat treat.

    Among my favorite places to not just enjoy 5 star level food, but to be with friends and family. We have been coming here for around 20 years and it’s only gotten better! The whole experience of walking into the lodge, exploring and people watching, before grabbing a drink at the bar is something that has to be done to really complete the journey to dinner. You’ll see the other restaurant Boma and most likely you will hear it lol because there’s a lot of music, and commotion going on, which makes for great entertainment while you’re waiting for your table at Jiko’s. Once you make your way downstairs you turn towards Jiko’s and everything becomes quieter, calmer, and you’re greeted with a warm hello and welcome to “the cooking place.” You walk past the largest collection of African wine in the country, then the desserts chef crafting the most beautiful desserts you’ve ever seen, to a beautiful dining room with a beautiful view through a wall of glass. Then there’s the food, which is truly some of the best fine dining available and probably the best in Disney. Brought to you by the greatest servers in the world, every time we are blown away by the level of care and detail we are given and it is the linch pin of the experience. The menu has your standard filet mignon options, perfectly prepared every time, but also includes unique offerings such as Boar which is absolutely incredible! We always encourage everyone to be adventurous and share so we can always get a little bit of everything and nobody’s ever left with anything to say other than “wow.” Be sure to try dessert as it’s not just a tasty treat, but true artistry on a plate…the kind that makes you hesitate taking that first bite because it’s just so beautiful. If you’re considering Jiko’s for the first time I encourage you to live the adventure as I have described it, you will make a great memory with your own friends & family that will last a lifetime.
