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 best rump of ever had! Truly worth the trip. Really enjoyed the food, ambience and service. Our waiter, Vusi, was extremely knowledge and had a good sense of humour, as well as being great at his job!

    Deeply disappointed after having looked forward to enjoying a delicious meal. The escargot starter apart from the blue cheese option lacked flavour. We ordered the rump steak, done medium and ribeye, done medium to well with onion rings and mushroom and onion sides. We also ordered the mushroom sauce and house recommended sauce which supposedly was made with 20 ingredients. The sides were not even seasoned properly and had no umami. The one oil based house sauce split and the mushroom sauce was watery and insipid. No depth of flavour and creaminess at all. The steaks were the most disappointing despite the restaurant positioning itself as a steak house. They were poorly trimmed and had residual fat and gristle. The rump was partially edible and not tender when cutting through. The ribeye was difficult to enjoy and cut through and I ended not finishing the meal. Both steaks were also poorly seasoned. Unfortunately looking forward to eating at a renowned steak house did not live up to any level of expectation. The decor is dated and the table we were served at was sticky. The best part of the meal was the service received from our waiter who was pleasant and professional.
