The Grill Jichana boasts flame-grilled premium cuts from the best local producers seasoned, infused and flavoured with tastes of the African East Coast spice route.

Dishes are created with flair, flavoured with fragrant cassia, cardamom, turmeric and other heady spices and prepared using the freshest produce. These robustly flavoursome spices complement the grilling of meat, fish and chicken creating the essence of ‘eating good’ or jichana in Swahili slang.

    The food and service were exceptional. More could be done about the ambience to create a more romantic atmosphere . Right now this environment is like an old colonial club for old gentlemen. This is just my opinion.

    The food was scrumptious and tummy filling, we had romantic turndown. The service was excellent and our waiter (Sithembiso, I think) was wonderful
