After reading reviews for many Disney restaurants, Jiko made our list for a recent vacation. It was actually the restaurant we were most looking forward to trying. Unfortunately Jiko failed miserably. I don't have one nice thing to say about this place. The decor is mediocre, the tables uncomfortable. But the worst part was the food. The first thing we... more

We dined at Jiko in the spring of 2008 and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is wonderful and very cozy. The food is rather pricey but what you would expect from a Disney Signature dining experience. We started with the Taste of Africa (dip and naan bread assortment). It was delicious! My entree of Chermoula Tanglewood Chicken was very flavorful... more

My head is still spinning after dinner at Jiko. It was one of the best meals I've had in my life. Be sure to try the Taste of Africa bread & dip sampler, and/or the flat bread. I did not have to pick up a knife once to eat my beef ribs; the meat was just falling off the bone. more

Had dinner here with a group of friends. Food was great - especially the kalamata olive flat bread! Prices were steep, but what you would expect at a Disney Resort. Staff was very friendly and very prompt. more

I have dined before at Jiko and it's always a pleasure to return! I highly recommend the filet mignon, braised short ribs and Ostrich appetizer. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. I also enjoy the fine African wine selection. I used to purchase a few bottles of my favorite in the AKL gift shop but was disappointed to see that they... more

I travel a bit and I've only eaten at one other restaurant that was in the same league. The food is wonderful!!! The atmosphere is sophisticated, and the staff doesn't look down their nose at you for arriving in clothes you've spent all day in walking through an amusement park. I know what I looked like, and they made me... more

Fantastic Experience. Jiko is really a great place to eat in the Disney area. We booked directly with disney and opted for their Dining Plan and gave up two Table Service Meals each to eat at this restaurant. It was easily worth it! Fantastic food! Authentic decor! Friendly Staff! What more can I say? more
