| Last reviewed: May 2026 Ravinder Bhogal, Kenyan-born, of Indian heritage, raised in London, opened Jikoni (Kiswahili for 'kitchen') on Blandford Street in 2016 and the room hit its tenth anniversary in 2026. The cooking is the through-line of her own biography: prawn-toast Scotch eggs with banana ketchup, fenugreek-cured trout, Goan venison curry, the famous banana cake with miso butterscotch for dessert. Smaller, looser and warmer than Trishna two doors down; the audience reaches for Jikoni when they want the Indian-Marylebone register without the Michelin formality.
Editor's Tip
Sunday brunch is the easier booking and the chef's strongest format. Ask for a banquette table rather than the front bar.
