About Jiko
Jiko is Animal Kingdom Lodge's signature restaurant, blending African, Indian and Mediterranean flavors in dishes cooked over wood-burning ovens beneath a glowing, sunset-hued ceiling. It's known for one of the largest South African wine lists in the U.S. and standout dishes like oak-grilled filet. A quieter, refined choice for couples and adventurous eaters.
