an africali concept
from kiano moju

Welcome to Jikoni ("kitchen" in Swahili): an AfriCali dining concept based on the best-selling cookbook by Kiano Moju.

AfriCali food is a reflection of Moju's Kenyan and Nigerian heritage, filtered through California’s food culture.

“Food is how I connect to where I come from, and how I connect with the people around me.”

- Kiano Moju
