Food is superb but some of the spices are rather unusual; setting is a bit dark; service is excellent.

Run, don't walk to Jiko. The flavor of the food explode. The oak grilled filet mignon with mac and cheese was our favorite and the lamb loin with curry sauce is cooked to perfection. Try the taste of Africa appetizer for a taste explosion and coffee that has a very deep mocha bean flavor. Worth every dollar. The service is top rate! A new Disney favorite for us.

Great atmosphere as with all Disneys undertakings. One of the most upscale resturants in Disney. Staff are from african countries and are all very friendly. Small one page menu, and food lacked flavor.

Excellent! Enjoyed everything from the olive flatbread, samosa, dips, halibut...name it all. I actually went totally off the appetizer menu and never ordered a main course. The company I was with ordered the halibut and the scallops. Both delicious. Second time there and would go again.

We made a meal out of the wonderful appetizers. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed our meal.
