In Swahili, the word Sikia describes an array of human senses.
These include both the physical capacity to hear, smell, and
feel, but also the more intangible ability to understand and
perceive. The word represents a complex experience, one in
which concrete and abstract senses work together to make up
total knowledge. Sikia combined with the image of the West
African Adinkra symbol for harmony combined together form
the name and logo of Washburnes African-inspired restaurant.
Drawing on the diversity that is Africa, Sikia celebrates the
flavors of a continent where the exotic mingles with the
familiar. From the memorable tagines of Morocco to the savory
stews of the eastern grasslands and the curries of the Swahili
coasts, all of our dishes celebrate the variety of African cultures
who prize wholesome, economical and thoroughly delicious
cuisine.
