We had a blast in 2024! Here's a look back at the roller coaster of a year. We shared our wares with lots of lovely new faces and fun along the way!

With a massive thankyou to all that came to the restaurant, events & workshops we put on and to everyone at the weddings, hen parties, birthday parties, staff parties and coporate events we catered for! We couldn't do it without you ❤️

Keep your eyes peeled as we have lots of exciting new developments coming up in 2025!

Asanteniii!

We had such a fabulous time yesterday community kitchen where we facilitated a workshop for a group of young adults enrolled on the 'How to be a Chef' course.

It was such a pleasure to work with this enthusiastic bunch teaching them how to make traditional Somali style Sambusa and bisbas green chilli sauce. And just take a look at that pastry! The results were spot on 👌

Really looking forward to our next collaboration with the square food guys!

Hello lovely people. Unfortunately our extraction fan has given up again so we have to close the cafe whilst we replace it with a more durable one than the last 2!

We are however still able to cater for the private events that are booked in as well as take on more as we'll be working from a temp prep kitchen.

As usual thank you all for your support and we look forward to seeing again soon for lunch & dinner at the Coach House 😊

As much as we (those of us in the food biz) appreciate the feedback from the adults, there is no feedback more reaffirming & uplifting than the feedback from the most unfiltered & harshest critics ( youngsters) we've raised 😀

It was massive honour to welcome saiid's class (Iman's son) to Jikoni for the 1st time! What a wonderful, kind , considerate bunch they were ❤️
