We intend to ask for the wine room as we hated our seating area last visit, but the area you were seated at looks good too.

Completely wrong Bob!

I quite fancy the wine room too. Be interesting to see how you like it.

It's always been nice and quiet when we've been seated up at that back bit.

Leigh really liked the cheese selection which he had as desert and I think I had Tanzanian Chocolate Cheesecake, I struggling to remember now without looking at our receipts and pictures

I want to try the Short Ribs next time and I wish we'd had the cheese... could have had that with our wine. I've got to go back!

Oooh you have pics? Are you doing a report Judy?

I hope to start doing a report soon, I've only just uploaded my pictures onto the computer. I need to start it when I have a bit of time off from work, this week has been a bit manic since we got back. I almost feel like I need another holiday, so maybe reliving our recent one will be the next best thing

Slurp! Looks delicious as usual Su. Paul looks extremely happy with his wine choice!

My mouth is watering now, that steak looks lovely.

Jiko does look good, we will wait till the kids are a little older and book them into Simba's Club House for a couple of hours, then have a meal there, in the meantime will continue to enjoy Boma

Fab report Su, as always!

My DH seems keen to try Jiko, more keen than myself I must say. I am coming round to the idea but I am just not too good with spicy things.
But I am sure he would love that steak and the soup sounds really tasty.

I think I will watch the Jiko menu carefully before Aug 09 and decide then.

Oh and I had to laugh at that pic of Paul. He looks like he has had a fair bit of wine! LOL!

Another fantastic report Su.

Note to self - do not read food reports before breakfast, as they make you hungry

Great report Su, we had such a bad experience here ! but yours looks totally the opposite. Our server was awful - he just vanished, everyone eating was wondering where he went, we ended up with a new server for some reason. We both picked the wrong starters. I had the same main as you and it was horribly overcooked, I asked medium well done and they brought it out dark brown all the way through - it was chewy !

I'm thinking we should give it another chance maybe on another trip - your report makes me think we should!

[Guest]

LOL Ben Have you been having a hungry day today?

I was sorry to read in your report that you had a bad time at Jiko. I was so hoping you'd love it. Can you remember the name of your server by any chance?


We didn't eat there this time - we popped in to check out the menu and it's changed again since we were there last and Paul didn't fancy the veggie entree at all.

I really missed eating at Jiko and it's on my list for next time - although I'm really looking forward to the seeing what the new restaurant at Kidani Village is going to be like when it opens in May.
