The best restaurant in Walt Disney World not named Victoria & Albert. Definitely try some South African wine and order any dish that comes with mac & cheese .
Here, African flavors mingle with those of India and the Mediterranean. Pair curry-rubbed lamb loin or maize-crusted grouper in tomato-butter sauce with any of dozens of South African wines . Read more
You really can't go wrong here. Everything is amazing but you absolutely must try the wild boar appetizer ! So good!
One of the best resort restaurants on Disney property, with (fun fact) the largest collection of South African wines outside South Africa. Get the seafood curry !
Make sure you order a flat bread they are unique and just the way to get your palate ready for great combinations of flavor to come. Can't go wrong with the shrimp or filet. Never been disappointed
Fantastic dining experience and food. The lamb is to die for. Great African wines too.
Best signature dining (or dining period) at WDW. Michele was our waitress and amazingly helpful. Best food, best atmosphere, best service and the price was worth it. Eat here.
Everything we tried but what make the place really special was the sugar free desert .
Bread , vegan flatbreads , entrees, and desserts . Creative soups and salads .
Every trip we make to WDW includes an evening (or two) at Jiko! The food and service are always excellent! Make reservations WELL in advance.
They go above and beyond for allergy accommodations. Super helpful staff .
Best food at Disney. Wild boar appetizer is great, and the Lake Victoria perch is delicious. They made us a special dessert because we were on our honeymoon :).
Some of the best food on property. Great portion sizes and well worth the money.
Try to get a seat at The Cooking Bar . (Can't be reserved .) Meet and talk with some of the chefs . Very cool.
Try stopping in even if you can't get a reservation . Well worth the time and money!
Highly recommended. Wasn't sure at first but was blown away. The filet with Mac & Cheese is AMAZING
Ask to sit at The Cooking Place (counter where they prepare all of the flat beards and other appetizers ).
Great food. Friendly staff . Make reservations . Dress code.
Great vegan menu available.
A must place to eat. Recommend making reservations .
Start to finish, all the dishes we ordered were very flavorful.
You can order appetizers from the bar !
The short ribs were fantastic. They also were great about allergies!
Try the Cheese Plate - Always a winner. Especially the Pleasant Ridge Reserve . Made with Wisconsin raw milk
Haven't tried one thing that I didn't love. Wasn't sure what to expect now I know I have to come back
Get the Corvina...you can even substitute the sides for the sides that come with the grouper if you want carbs!
There are not enough good words to describe this place. If you have the opportunity to go, GO.
Filet mignon , flat breads , African beers
Jiko is AWESOME! The Filet with Mac & Cheese is just about the best entrée on WDW property! Read more
