What is your favorite at Jiko?

Appetizer: Taste of Africa
Entree: Oak Grilled Fillet and Macaroni and Cheese
Dessert: Tanzanian Cheesecake
 
We just ate there on the 17th and my husband went bonkers over his short ribs. He said they were melt in your mouth delicious. I got the lamb loin and thought it was just good, nothing spectacular. We both really liked the Barbeque Chicken flatbread a lot, and for dessert my husband got the chocolate cheesecake and it was his favorite dessert of the whole trip. I got the allspice cake and didn't care for it that much. Haha, all in all my husband ordered better than I did and he loved it :)
 

Any of the flatbread as an appetizer. And if it's still on the menu, the lamb shank is an excellent dinner choice. All washed down by Tusker Beer.

OMG, I had forgotten about the lamb shank. It is/was excellent!!!!
 
I had the short ribs and thought they were delicious! My friend Di (lady danger) had the filet. It was our first time to Jiko so we were not aware the the portions for the filet had gotten smaller, but she enjoyed them nonetheless. We had appetizers, entrees, dessert and wine and were completely stuffed by the end of our meal.

The duck confit and fig salad can be a mini-meal in itself. I liked it but thought it was a little bit salty.

The lighting in Jiko was dim so it was hard to take food pics. I usually use macro, no flash, but I was pleased that the photos for the ribs turned out well. Also a plus was I hardly needed my knife. I went to cut a piece off and all the meat separated from the bone! Now that's some good ribs. Mmm...
 
I've seen these mentioned already, but they are good....

App - Kalamata Olive Flatbread and Mixed Field Greens
Entree - the Filet with Mac and Cheese
Dessert - Pistachio Creme Brulee

Seriously, it is an insanely good meal......
