Any more recent Jiko pics? My family is trying it out for the first time next week and I'm nervous about it
Thanks!!
Here you go! We had dinner as part of our Wanyama Safari at AKL. The food was
served family-style for this package but I'm pretty sure each item is available on the regular Jiko menu.
APPETIZER PLATTER:
-Curried Samosas Crispy Pockets w/Potato, Sweet Corn, & Sweet Tamarind Dipping Sauce.
-Duck Cornfit Salad w/Poached Pear, Dabo Croutons, Mustard-shallot Vinaigrette and Goat Cheese.
-Spiced Briouats Pulled Beef Rolled in Naan w/Tomato-date Jam
ENTREE PLATTER:
Oak-grilled Filet Mignon w/Macaroni & Cheese & Red Wine Sauce
Maize-Crusted Pacific Halibut w/Vegetables of the Moment & Tomato-Butter sauce:
Chicken platter: Chermoula Tanglewood Chicken w/Goat Cheese Potatoes, Preserved Lemons & Harissa. I did not get a picture of this platter but here is a shot of my plate with all three entrees - the chicken is on the left:
The beef entree was very good but the halibut was AMAZING!!!!! So, so good! I did not care for the chicken entree at all. I didn't like the blend of spices and quite frankly, couldn't even stand the smell of it! To be fair, others in our party enjoyed it.
DESSERT PLATTER:
-House-made Meyer Lemon Curd w/Pomegranate & Blueberry Compote, White Chocolate Biscotti, & Sour Cream Ice Cream.
-Tanzanian Chocolate Cheesecake w/Chocolate Ganache, Amarula Sauce, & Lavendar ice cream.
-Pistachio Creme Brulee with a chocolate-layered bottom.
