Ravinder Bhogal and Nadeem Lalani Nanjuwany, founders of the Jikoni restaurant, will contribute to the food and drink offerings at the upcoming V&A East Museum, set to open in spring 2026. The duo aims to reflect the cultural diversity of East London and foster inclusivity through their culinary approach, emphasizing collaboration and sustainability. They are committed to storytelling through food while promoting local ingredients. The V&A East will also host events aimed at connecting communities closer and enhancing accessibility to arts and culture, with temporary collections accessible before the museum's official opening.
"We're excited to be in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on East Bank, with a project that will speak to the depth and breadth of the culturally rich and diverse communities in East London. Beyond serving nourishing and delicious food, our intention is inclusivity, collaboration and connectivity."
"Ravinder and Nadeem share our vision of making the arts and culture more accessible. They'll be bringing their passion for storytelling through food while focusing on seasonal ingredients, sustainability, and supporting local producers."
