Jikoni (the Swahili word for kitchen) is a culinary studio creating experiences inspired by the richness and diversity of African cooking.
Choma Pop-Up: Summer Sundays
Choma is Jikoni's AfriCali mishkaki concept.
Inspired by the energy and bold flavors of African street food, Choma brings together Kenyan and Nigerian flavors in a lively, shareable dining experience. At the heart of the menu is mishkaki — the Swahili for skewers — served alongside vibrant sides, house-made sauces, and desserts that celebrate the richness and diversity of African cooking.
Guests reserve an arrival time and settle in around a parade of plates designed to be passed around the table. Whether you're joining friends or coming on your own, Choma is about slowing down, sharing a meal, and gathering around great food.
