The hub for Dining on campus. Within Éstom Jámani Dining are four “all you care to eat” stations. A variety of meals are served every day with each station serving its unique style of dining experience.

At Main Stage, the menu selections will be changing every day with a variety of cooking styles. From Kung Pao stir fry to lasagna, the Main Stage station is where you will find food from around the world. Vegetarian substitutions are available upon request.

At Fresh, a large fully stocked Salad Bar using locally sourced raw, cooked, and composed ingredients makes for a healthy meal option. Hot cereal and pastries for breakfast, lunchtime soups, and desserts round out the Fresh Station.

Pizazz, Pizza, Pasta, and Burritos are served in a large combined area. Three types of pizzas hot and by the slice, burritos with changing proteins and vegetables, and pasta served with a choice of sauces are available for lunch and dinner.

The Plant Base station is dedicated to plant-forward options and any allergen-sensitive food items. Gluten-free pasta and sauces, vegan protein, and cheeses round out the Plant Based station.

Éstom Jámani Hall is named for the “Middle Mountains,” the buttes rising from the valley floor south of Chico. The phrase reflects what the area was known as by the Mechoopda and other surrounding Maidu tribes prior to colonial contact. Pronunciation: Es-tohm Yo-mah-ni.

From its opening in 2010 to 2023, the building was known as Sutter Hall after our neighboring county, which is named for John Sutter. After thoughtful consideration and a thorough research-based examination of John Sutter’s legacy, the University renamed it to ensure that we foster an environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel a sense of belonging.
