Jiko versus Tiffins for dinner

[sent]

Thoughts? We’re drawn more to the menu at Jiko. But I feel like I should “take advantage” of the multi day passes I bought everyone and eat in the park. We’ve eaten at Boma and Tusker House and like both but don’t want to repeat.

I have only ever been to Tiffins but we really enjoyed it. I would pick which one you want to go to most and not let the hoppers influence you. They should be used to give you flexibility, not force you into doing things you don’t want to do.

Not on your list, but Sana’a is my favorite!

I’ve eaten at Jiko, but not Tiffins. I thought Jiko was fine, but not very memorable or special. We haven’t gone back there.

We had dinner at both. We all vastly preferred Tiffins. The food, experience, & atmosphere were wonderful at Tiffins. Jiko was just ok.

Thank you everyone. Our first day is Animal Kingdom so I think we will go check out the space at Tiffins that day and decide. I'm renting a car so getting to the AKL shouldn't be an issue if we do Jiko instead. We leave on Friday!!!

Today was the day! We walked by Tiffins on our way to Pandora and my husband checked out the interior. I think he felt the menu leaned a little too much toward Indian food and we get plenty of that where we live. We decided to do Jiko. DD asked to eat from the grown up menu so I took a chance on the Peri Peri Chicken. She scarfed down the whole thing, spinach and all! The scallop appetizer was great. My lamb dish was fine and my husband enjoyed his mixed seafood entree. DS ate 3 forks of macaroni, some ice cream and grapes that I had brought. Our drinks were good too. The only thing that surprised us is that the mushroom flat bread had these skinny breaded deep fried mushrooms on top and that made the appetizer too heavy IMO. They let us stroll DS in his stroller right up to the table which was key because he would have climbed out of the restaurant high chair in 10 minutes. He stayed strapped in the stroller the whole time without much complaint which let us mostly enjoy the meal.

Glad you enjoyed your meal!
