Brats and Biriyani Land in Culver City's Citizens Public Market
Skip to main content Current eater city: Los Angeles
Two exciting new concepts have arrived at the Culver City Citizens Public Market, a food hall currently home to restaurants including the fried chicken spot Go Go Bird and hand roll specialist Uoichiba, and rooftop bar, Bar Bohemien. New restaurant Boho Burgers and Brats offers classic biergarten cooking, while Jikoni, a month-long pop-up from cookbook author Kiano Moju, serves AfriCali bites. Both restaurants opened on June 4.
Boho Burgers offers a tight menu of burgers, sausages, and grilled cheese. The signature bratwurst is braised in beer and topped with slow-cooked onions, sauerkraut, mustard, chives, and comes on a Kaiser roll. Burgers include a smash option with American cheese and the Boho arrives with melted Gruyere, horseradish aioli, and caramelized onions. Gruyere and American cheese meet in the grilled cheese, and of course, a Bavarian pretzel from Rockenwagner is accompanied by three-cheese fondue. Those looking for sausage but not the meat can opt for a vegan version, which also served on a Kaiser roll.
Moju, the author of AfriCali , brings her cooking to Citizens Public Market at Jikoni, which translates to kitchen in Swahili. The menu starts with beef and cheese sambusa inspired by Kenya, and shrimp jollof arancini made with Nigerian jollof stew and Italian short-grain rice. The heart of the menu is dedicated to Swahili-style biriyani that's served in Kenya. The basmati rice-based dishes are available with a choice of chicken, shrimp, or short rib. A karakara (passionfruit) pie, chai cookies, and ginger peach hand pie are available for dessert. Previously, Jikoni has popped up at restaurants like Virgil Village wine bar Melody, but the menu changes with each new location.
Boho Burgers offers natural wine and German beers to pair, but if looking for cocktails, head upstairs to the rooftop bar, Bar Bohemien.
Boho Burgers and Jikoni are located inside Citizens Public Market at 9355 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232.
