MEET THE GIRLS FOR LUNCH:
Jikoni
Jikoni is one of our favourite spots in Marylebone, so we were excited to hear it’s launched a new vegetarian menu. Ravinder Bhogal’s restaurant will offer an updated ‘Farm Fresh’ set-lunch menu, with plenty of plant-based options. Start with beetroots with cashews and curry leaf oil, or soy keema buns served with pickled onion, before tucking into mains of aubergines with Sichuan caramel and sticky garlic rice, or butternut squash pakoras with lemon rice and coconut chutney. Leave space for a slice of banana cake with miso butterscotch, or pear and saffron cake with pistachio.
19-21 Blandford Street, Marylebone, W1U 3DJ
